Normal View -v- Design View
Jul 20, 2005I am wondering why the alteration to my form in design view is not reflected in the "normal" form view. I have included the two views. In design view I moved "Staff In"/"Staff ID" to the top of the form believing that as I work left to right thay would appear on the left hand side in normal view.
However, in the image of "normal" view you can see that "Staff In" is way over on the right hand side of the form.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thank you

Query Opening In Report, Not Record View?
Feb 5, 2007I have a query that searched thru records based on a person's last name. It runs fine and returns the results I want. However, the view of the results is in record-view. I'd like the results to be in a report format. Is this possible? The macro that calls the query is set to display in report view, but the query always come back showing the records. What am I missing here? Thanks a ton for your time!

Unhide / Unlock Normal Access Table View And Menus
Oct 11, 2007Hi..
I got a access file from a friend of mine, but when i open it in access, i don't see any tables or the standard menu buttons.
The only menu i see, is a docked menu with a couple of submenus, wich in turn open forms, where you can enter data..
How can i see the tables and bva script behind this access file?
I tried F11 and Alt-F11, but is does nothing.
He won't tell me how he did it, because he doesnt like to share what he knows...
Can anyone help me??
Thanx !
Opening In Design View
May 23, 2007Hi,
I've got a DB where I need to simply change a few images on the form buttons. When I open the file I cannot access design view at all. There is no toolbar and the menu doesn't contain View, just file, edit etc. I can edit the properties of the records etc but this is all I can do. I thought maybe it had something to do with it being created in a different version of Access but still it will open in this way only. There is no messae telling me I'm locked from anything and I've tried ctrl + enter etc. I'm running Access 2003.
Does anyone know what's wrong? Its driving me nuts. :confused:
When Opening A Database I Can Only View & Edit The Form...
Jul 9, 2007Hello,
When I attempt to open any of my Access databases I am presented only with the form that has been selected as the 'startup' option. Furthermore, it seems to be impossible to switch to 'design' view and my only options on the toolbar are File, Edit, Insert, Records, Windows, Help. As far as I can tell, none of these enable me to select the options required to give me my entire database back.
I am something of an Access novice, so if the above problem seems familiar to anyone i'd be grateful for the solution! The help option within MS Access hasn't been particularly useful.
Many thanks,
David
Opening Forms In Data Sheet View
Jun 30, 2005I have a main menu that I select things to open. Most of the things I open I open in form view but some I want to open in data sheet view.
Without recoding my menu code is there a way to specify in the form to be opened that it should open in data sheet veiw?
Right now I have the default view as data sheet view in the forms but because my calling code is not specifying any view they default to form view, and again I don't want to edit that code in my main menu.
Forms :: Opening A Form In Datasheet View
Sep 17, 2014I'm trying to open a form in datasheet view using the following code
Code:
Private Sub Run_Activity_Duration_Totals_Click()

End Sub
I keep getting a message saying

Modules & VBA :: Opening Forms In Datasheet View
May 8, 2014I have read various answers on how to open a form in Datasheet view from VBA code, but I can't get my syntax correct.
Here is one of my 50 attempts to guess at the format. Removing different components, separators, variables only gets me a syntax error of missing separator or "expected =".
DoCmd.OpenForm ("frm_OrdersHOTHeadersOnlyWORKSHEET", [View as acFormView=acFormDS], , , , ,[acFormEdit])
Opening Single Records From Datasheet View
Apr 15, 2015I have a form in datasheet view that has a user directory with a list of each person. On each row you can click to open another form that contains the users details using the below VBA:
DoCmd.OpenForm "User Details", , , "[ID] = " & Me.ID
But once you open to that specific record, no other records are available to navigate to.
I want to be able to stay on that detail form that was opened and go to another record.
How do I continue to pull up that specific user in my detail form, but also load the others so I can navigate to them from the detail form without having to go back out to the datasheet form?

Show Only Forms And Prevent Users From Opening Design View?
Dec 17, 2013I'm trying to protect the frontend of my database from unwanted changes. How to disable the navigation pane, ribbon, and only display my navigation form. My navigation form has 10 buttons that open forms for data entry. I only want the users to be able to open forms and add data. I don't want them to be able to go to the navigation pane or anything other than the forms.

View 3 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Opening Design View Of Append Query Without Timing Out Source Query
Mar 4, 2015In some cases I create pass-through queries and use these in an Append or Make-table query to bring data locally.
All is well and fine until source data changes and the pass-through query runs too long and times out.
If needed, I can extend the timeout value in the Parameters of the pass-through query no problem, but when I try to open the Append or Make-table query in Design view to do the same, the pass-through query is first triggered and then throws the timeout, and I cannot access the Design view of the Append or Make-table
Is there a way to open an Append or Make-table query in Design view without invoking the source query?

Opening Access To A Specific Report
Mar 21, 2006Is there any way to put a shortcut on someone's desktop that will open a specific report in an Access database? I'm thinking back to the days of DOS when one simply added an argument to the command. I don't want to put it in startup and have it always go to that report. I just want non-Access users to go right where they need to without menus, etc.
:confused:
Thank you.
Opening A Report From A Form Error
Feb 28, 2006I want to create a report using the data currently held in a form. I found this bit of code somewhere:
DoCmd.OpenReport "report", acViewPreview, , "[job number] = " & txtFilter.Value
txtFilter is the name of textbox containing the data I want for the report. This works if in the table for txtFilter's data the field is set to a number. But if I set this field to text it comes up with a data type mismatch error. How do I solve this? (sorry new to access and vba). The reason I want to set it as a text field is so that I can limit the number of characters entered.
Thanks

Opening A Report With Recordset Data
Nov 3, 2004I have looked through the threads and have not found an answer to my question, so I post it hoping there is an answer as well as documenting useful information for other individuals.
The following code is what I am using to 'pull' data in order to print a certificate. It functions the way I designed it (verified by debug.prints and msgboxes). My question is how do I pass data to a defined report (certificate) based upon the results of a built recordset. When the report opens, the values come up as "#Name?". I'm guessing that the issue is syntax, but I just don't know. Here is the code I have so far (I've even commented it for y'all)...
Looking forward to your comments...

Running Query When Opening Report
Dec 7, 2005How do I get a query to run upon opening a report. My report has a few fields from a query that once the user inputs information the query is obviously outdated. Since it needs to be as simplistic and user friendly as possible I won't ever have them run the queries themselves so I'm trying to have them run to be updated for the report when the user goes to open the report.
View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Report Opening Behind Forms
Feb 25, 2013I have two pop up forms called "frmRepair" and "frmPaid" with a button that opens another popup form called "frmLabels". This final form has a button to print a report with the following code:
Code:
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptlblCombined", acViewPreview, , "CallID=" & Me.CallID
The problem is that when this report opens, it is always behind frmRepair or frmpaid and frmLabels so it can't be seen.
I tried to use the popup and modal properties on the report, but this does not seem to do what I need.
My next step was to hide frmRepair or frmPaid when frmLabels loaded and then hide frmLabels when I was printing the report, but the problem is that when the report closes I need to also close frmLabels (easy) but then I need to make visible either frmRepair or frmPaid, depending on which one was used to open frmLabels. How can I do that? How do I know which one of the two forms opened frmLabels to make it visible again?
What are my options to have that report open on top of everything?
Reminder Every 6 Months On Opening Certain Report
Oct 16, 2013I want to create a query that says starting on a specific date, every 6 months a reminder will pop up when a certain report opens (or form, preferably a report). So if I said the starting date is 10/16/2013, once April 16th, 2014 hits and this user opens the report, a message pops up.
Another way would be to add that message to the report itself, so it's not technically a pop up but its built-in to the report.
