I have a small access project completed for my office, I have almost everything turned off so only the user can see the main form, but I can't figure out how to hide the ribbon bar on the top, can you do this. This is access 2010 by the way.
View Repliesi have built an application , all i have is one main form and every action take place inside it. Before making it as .accde file for code protection, i want to hide table pane, navigation ribbon, the Main form Tab. i.e only Main form should open like a applicaiton and not inside access as a tab.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere seems to be some inconsistency in controlling the ribbons in Access 2013.I have managed to use the USysRibbons custom table and XLM to hide the ribbon in one app, but when I set the same config up in another db's the ribbon wont hide.
I've then made an empty db and tried in this and it still wont hide.What are the "current db" setting that must be set to make the ribbon hide?
I'm getting ready to deploy my database and I would like to Hide the "Home" tab and replace it with a custom tab with just the bare minimum of options. I have alreadyused the access options to hide the other tabs that re normally visible, but can't find how to hide the "Home" tab.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen you open a form in datasheet view, the default ribbon is of course the "Datasheet" tab. I would rather have the "Home" tab ribbon open up, because I have one field in this form set up as hyperlinks to open another form, so the filter and search buttons would be more useful to the user. I'd rather not go to the trouble to create a custom ribbon, so is there anyway to set the default ribbon tab to "Home" when you load the form? There is a ribbon property for the form, but I don't know the reference name for the tab.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find a way to hide the close button on the ribbon. My 2007 and 2010 users keep closing the database by the "x" and it's driving me nuts. I have an exit on the switchboard. I tried to disable navigation and ribbons under options and it hides everything except the x. I tried the code:
Code:
Docmd.Showtoolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
In the startup form. Still doesn't give me what I want.
In Access 2010 I made a custom ribbon.The File Tab still gives users access to features that should not be available to them such as: Compact & Repair, Encrypt etc.I spent a few hours looking for a solution but found none that works.It does not seem to be possible to hide the File Tab, but is there a way to hide the options it reveals?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe user wants all the non-basic functionality of the ribbon hiden. To accomplish that by doing the usual stuff:
File >> Options >> Current Database >> Allow Full Menus (unchecked)
Everything worked as expected, but we came across an issue. The user needs to open a report in "print preview" and they need to be able to export their report to excel. The "print preview" ribbon tab is there, but it is not showing the "Data" area, where all the export options are.
How can I do this without a costume ribbon?
Maybe there is a way of manipulating which areas of the ribbon/tabs/areas/controls are enabled from VBA?
Is there any way to either hide or change the form name that shows at the top of an open form - instead of renaming the form and all associated queries, reports etc. Maybe a cosmetic shortcut (wishful thinking here - bear with me).
Thanx in advance..

I can't figure out Form Filters. Basically I have a load of controls on the form. The first control I select I'm able to click the Filter button on the Ribbon and get shown a load of checkboxes to filter the field on (see capture.png)On subsequent controls, clicking the Filter button on the ribbon doesn't show the checkboxes for that control (see capture2.png).
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have created a ribbon for the users on all forms, and named that ribbon on each form. While I can bypass the Main ribbon (hiding backstage and most other tabs) by holding the shift key on open, the minute I open a form I am stuck with the very limited form ribbon I've named. Is there a programmatic way I can ignore this call, either when holding the shift key or some other avenue?
View 14 Replies View Relatedhow to hide the the 'Details' section in my form when viewing it in Split Form. I tried to use
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Detail.Visible = False
End Sub
but that just makes the Details section look blank, as oppose to not having it there at all.
have only the Form Header and Datasheet visible in the Form View of my form. Similar to the 'Contact List' form in the Contacts Template that comes with Access.
I have one main form with 3 tabulated sub forms.
My main form consists of two fields.
When the user clicks tab 2 (subform 2) or tab 3 (subform 3) the main fields should hide
I tried to achieve this by using the on click event at the tabbed forms. I referenced the two main fields and used the visible property followed by a form requery. It didn't work.
thanks in advance

hello everyone,
I have a database that has only two tables and one form. There is about 100 people that will be using this system(not all at the same time), and I want to hide everything from them except the form, including the microsoft access window behind the form. if i just make the access window small and put it behind the form, that looks alright, but i don't want to have to go to everyone's computers and do that! i've already hidden everything else, i just can't figure out how to make it seem like it's a stand-alone application. Any ideas???
Thanks very much in advance

Hi,
I want to hide a sub-form borders, so when I run it it just shows what's inside it e.g. textboxes, labels....etc
I fiddled around with the properties, but no luck.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

What I need to do is, not have a form pop up when all the conditions are met. I have 30 some users that log into the db.
I have a form that pops up when the date of the project is past due. to certain users when they log in. I am using the Environ("username") theory, which works very well. But when the user has COMPLETED all the necessary dates, the form still comes up, (but of course it’s blank).
How can I eliminate that problem?
How do you hide the canned record scrolling keys on the bottom of a Form? I have placed my own controls and do not need them to confuse the Operator, or cause problems.

I've got Form with some drawings on it and I'd like it change depending on what the user has entered in certain fields on the same form.
For Example: when the user selects a certain type of item in the "Item1" field, I'd like the graphic to change (or another one appear) in the form. Basically an "If this is true, show this picture" type thing.
I've been trying a few things to make this happen, but to no avail... :(
Any incite anyone could give would be most appreciated.

Is it possible to hide or show a combo in certain records in a continuous form. i.e if certain certain conditions are met.
At present I have if Check1 = true then Combo1.Visible = true
The trouble is it then displays the combo in all records.
Hi All.
What I would like to do, is have a form popup when the main form is opened in my db, which will detail all the changes I have made to it since the last version (this bit is OK) and also, I would like a checkbox on the popup form, that the user can tick once they have read the details so it will not show up everytime they open the main form. (Just like the "hidestartupform" property within the Northwind Database)
I create the form and all that, but do not know how to do the checkbox so once it is checked, the form will not appear.
Hope this makes sense and someone can enlighten me and point me in the right direction?
Many Thanks.
Frank.
How can I hide and display a field on a form depending on what choice I make from another combo box?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI do not like the look of combo boxes on continuous forms. I think that they really take away from an aesthetic I am trying to create. However, I really like their functionality.
What I would like to do is have a text box for the field when the control does not have focus, but switch it to a combobox when it does. Now, this is pretty easy to do - however, it ends up switching all of the text boxes on the continuous form to a combo box and back. I only want to switch the currently selected record.
Does anyone know if this is possible, or have any ideas as to how to accomplish this?
My fellow developers
I want to develop an Ms Access Main Form, which will be able to :
Move automatically to the Left of the Database Window
On Mouse over to be able to show with animation (done that)
When Mouse pointer isn’t on the form to be able to hide with animation (partially done, only when the form loses focus)
Actually I want to have a form with buttons placed on the left of my desktop (hiding Ms Access Window – done that after Internet searching), which will be hidden and when I move my mouse pointer over the form to show.
Check my example. I’m waiting for your comments – suggestions
Best Regards
Theodore
