Opening Access Forms

Mar 8, 2006

Hello,
I work at a library and we often add books to the library. Each time we have to fill out a form and fax out multiple copies keep a copy. Today I made a database and form in access to do this, so it won't be done on paper anymore. It is actually the first thing I have ever used access for. I have 1 problem now, I need to make it as simple as possible for everyone using the form. I am trying to make it soyou can click on a shortcut from the desktop and open just the form without having to open access and then enter in the data. Is this possible? I have attempted to save as a different type, export as a different type and nothing works. Can someone give me a little expertise on this? Thanks.

Forms :: Closing Opening Form With Timer Then Opening Main Menu

Apr 7, 2014

I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.

Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load()
OpenTimer = Timer
End Sub
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer()
If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes
End Sub

Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.

Forms :: Form Opening Inside Access Window In Background

Apr 8, 2015

I have three forms:

Form_A (main form for the application - should always be open)
Form_B (always open, but sometimes has visibility set to false)
Form_C (opens from button on Form_B)

When I press the button on Form_B, the only code behind it is DoCmd.OpenForm "Form_C". This seems to hide Form_B, and open Form_C behind Form_A (which is the main form of the application) inside of an Access window.

I would like Form_C to open in front of Form_B. I suspect that I set up the form incorrectly or something when I created it, and it is therefore opening inside an Access window.

Forms :: Access 2010 - Opening New Form And Closing Current Form?

Mar 14, 2013

I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)

I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.

All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.

Private Sub cmdBack_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs)
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3"
End Sub

The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.

Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?

Forms :: Login Form On Opening Access Asking For Password And Login Name

Jun 17, 2013

I have access 2010, I currently have a database in place and operational. What I am wondering is there a way to have a form come up whenever someone opens access and asks for a password and login name. Also I would like to have a 2 tier system. One for Admins and the other for users with limited access.

Is this even possible to accomplish?

Question: Opening Access Form Without Access Installed.

Mar 28, 2007

Hi,

I have a database (.mdb file) which includes a table, forms and VB code. I intend on putting it onto a CD and then opening the form on another computer which may not have Access. Is this possible? Can I convert the file or can I attach some type of reader to the disk?
I have seen some software for download on the internet which allows you to open the tables however the Form is the most important thing in this case (but I take it whatever I use, it will need to be able to view the VB, subforms and tables as well since the Form depends on them?).

...also can I install an auto-run to the file for when the disk is inserted? (this is not a major issue though).

Thanks.

Forms :: Opening Form Based Off Another Forms Combo Box Value

Nov 5, 2013

I'm trying to get a combo box & button to work together. On the main form of the attached database, I just want the button to go to the associated record based off my selection (or entry) in the combo box.

I've tried the following:

- Looked through the Northwind sample database for a close example. Tried my best to replicate the functions but it didn't work
- Looked through other examples posted and tried to manipulate the code to no avail
- Tried using [Forms]![Main Form]![cmbLastName] in both the filter & criteria section of the macro

Forms :: Forms Not Opening In Modal / Dialog Mode

Aug 7, 2014

the forms are not opening in modal/dialog mode when they should be.The forms' pop-up and modal properties are set to "yes"..The code specifies to open Dialog so, for example:

Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmCompanies", , , , , acDialog

Yet, the form opens behind the other form (which, incidentally, is also set to be pop up and modal in the form properties--is that the problem? If so, why wasn't this an issue until now?).

Access 2007 Not Opening

Mar 5, 2007

Hi All,

I've been developing in Access 2002-2003, and now have Access 2007. I can open a 2002-3 .mdb database OK, but when I click on the Main Menu buttons, nothing happens -- they do not work. So I cannot access any of the existing Menus and Forms. In fact, none of the previously existing databases I tried will open/close Forms using the existing buttons. Any ideas?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Opening A Word Doc From Access

Mar 4, 2005

i have a word doc that is built by code. at the end, after the doc is completely built, i save the doc and kill my word object. what i want to do is be able to launch the doc automatically for the user, but still be able to kill the code object used to create the doc. what i currently have, which obviously doesn't open the doc, is as follows:
Code:wrd.ActiveDocument.SaveAs sOutputDir & sHeader & ".doc"wrd.ActiveDocument.Closewrd.QuitSet wrd = Nothing
i can't figure out how to get word to open with my doc. i'm sure i'm overlooking something simple, but does anyone have ideas for me on this?

Opening MS Access Faster

Mar 10, 2008

I revised my DB thinking that one big form divided by Page Tabs would speed things up. Wrong. It slowed everything down to a crawl. I found the more I broke up Forms into sub-forms the faster things went.

Incidentally this may be the answer to the problem I posted about Permission Lockups. (See Access 2000 Permission lockup posted on 2/20/08). I noticed that the big form version requested to save forms that I think I had not even opened. So when I encountered the problem on installing the DB on my network, I just did two or three saves just for luck. This seemed to do the trick. This suggested that my Permission Lockup may have been due to not all Forms had been saved on closing.

The evidence is circumstantial but I have had no trouble since.

Access Database Without Opening Access First

Jul 20, 2007

I'm wondering if there is a way to open an access database (ive started with a microsoft template for an inventory management database) outside of the access environment. I'd like the program to run more like a .exe file rather than a database, but still having the links to and the functionality of the microsoft database

is this possible?

Opening Forms

Aug 23, 2005

I have a form with a bound combo box listing names, [myname] and a multiselect list box that lists all available forms in a database [myselections]. I am really struggling with code that will enable the user to hit a command button that will then open the selected forms to show the data for the selected individual. I have found things related to selecting items in tables etc but not related to opening forms to specific entrys and I am just not experienced enough with SQL to get this working. Can anyone help or direct me to a good example?

Opening Forms

Feb 9, 2006

I have a drop down with a list of years (2002, 2003 etc) that the user must select from. when they do so and click the GO button a new form will be displayed. I need to use this year to compare against a field in the table that the new form is using. However the field is in a dd-mm-yyyy format that can not be changed.
Is there any way i can do a like search on the value of the drop down against the value in the table to only give the records with a particular year? what i have at the moment is below but obviously this wouldnt work because it is saying, is dd-mm-yyyy like yyyy. How can i turn this like search around so its yyyy like dd-mm-yyyy?

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "Master NCRs"

stLinkCriteria = "[OpenDate] like " & Me![NCRYear]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

thanks
