View 7 Replies View RelatedHide Access Window Task Bar And Reports
Nov 15, 2005All,
I've been using Dev Avish's excellent code shown within the sample database section to hide access windows. I've taken his call fsetAccessWindow function and set it to 1 or normal in two separate databases. Both databases seem to work slightly differently. The idea is that opening the database produces one Visible instance of access on the taskbar which is the purple standard graphic (Access 2000 / Windows 2000). With the first database I have set up reports through the active x control as required when using dev's code and even when I hit the report button the user is only aware of one visible instance of access as the purple colour graphic.
I am trying to implement the same code in a second database and have copied the code from the previous database into this database. It works great for the forms however there is a slight glitch when report forms are accessed. Rather than remaining with the purple access part on the task bar the task bar section is split into two between the form and the report. In the previous database users would not notice that the report had been opened at all. (although technically it was still running in the backrground)
I have checked most of the properties between the two database forms and they would appear to be the same..
Has anyone got any ideas why the taskbar is behaving differently between these two databases there must be some difference between my set up but as yet cannot find it??
Thanks Mark
Access Database Fails When Using Task Scheduler
May 1, 2013I have an Access database that sends an email to users when there is an exception in the query. It works fine when I run it from Windows 7, but when I use task scheduler I get an error message;
Runtime error 429 activex component can't create object
and the error stops a;
Set olapp = New Outlook.Application
It only happens when i run it from Task Scheduler.
Windows Task Scheduler, Access Is Left Running
Jan 25, 2008Hi,
WHen I used Windows task scheduler to start my application, and then close the application normally, the application closes but Access is left running, still visible in the task bar. The only way I can get it to close is by using task manager to kill it. I found an old KB article ( # 246953) that hints that this (or something like it) is a known bug in Access 2000 but supposedly was resolved by an Office 2000 service pack 2. But I am already running Windows XP, SP2. Anyone else having this problem? Any workarounds?
Access Linking A Job Number To Multiple Task Numbers
Dec 2, 2014I have done multiple tutorials to get the fundamentals behind me, but seem to have a few issues on the best ways of setting out what I have in mind.So the set out I have used is creating a table called tblProjects - this will be the area where all new projects are added as they come in including details such as a ProjectID ProjectNumber ProjectDescrition Client Name etc. For costing purposes we also have task numbers that need to sit under an individual Project Number EG.
ProjecNumber: 13001
[code]...
So the plan was to create another table called tblJobTasks..How then does one go about linking the project number to the job tasks... and following on I suppose where I want to get to with this is on a form having a drop down that selects the job number then another drop down that has a list of tasks specified to that particular job so when the girls are doing the data entry from a time sheet she only sees the list of tasks associated with the particular job selected in the first place..
Forms :: Prevent Access To Open A Webpage?
Mar 19, 2013I'm using "Application.FollowHyperlink" to send parameters to a remote application.

Modules & VBA :: How To Prevent Access Change String To Date
Dec 23, 2014I wrote a VBA code to get the field value of a csv file, then use it to update the database table. I paste some of my code below
Dim objConn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim objRs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim objUpdate As ADODB.Connection
objConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & theFolderName & ";Extended Properties='text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited'"
[Code] ....
1. The target of this code is to set the [Section] value in the table
2. The [Section] value is at the 3rd column inside the csv file
3. By using the UPDATE query, it map the [Section] value to the corresponding [Program] and [Course] in the table
This code did the job. But the problem is the string of the [Section] value is like "2-22-01". But after update to the table, the value become "2/22/2001".
The value is a string text, not date. How can I prevent this happen ?
I just attached 2 files, 1 mdb and 1 txt (change the extension to csv before test).
Queries :: Access 2010 / Prevent Writing To The Table?
Dec 1, 2014I am using Access 2010. How do I prevent the object typed into the textbox on a queryform being written to the table. The result from the name typed into the textbox on my query form correctly produces the result from the query, and my macros then produce the correct report, which I can either print or close due to the controls in the heading of the report. However, when I view the table, the name typed (only) has been inserted into the correct field as a new record in the table. Is there a macro I can add (I assume to an event in the query form) to prevent this happening?

Forms :: Prevent Entering Data A Second Time Onto Access 2010 Table
Mar 4, 2014I have a simple data entry form where I can key the "row", "COLUMN", SPACE "a" and space "B" onto an access 2010 table. Is there a way that if I key the same four fields, e.g., A5AB that I get a message back before updating telling me that combination already exists?
I do generate a calculated data field, which in this case would be "a5ab" and which is displayed on report screens. Could the value of this calculated field be stored on the Table and be used to prevent the same value from again be entered on the Table?
Forms :: Prevent Duplicates From Multiple Drop Downs In Access 2013
Jul 28, 2015I'm in Access 2013 and I built a form with multiple drop downs. Here is what I have in the same order of which the user must choose from......
Document "Field Observation", "Monthly Inspection", "Safety Roster" (The user must first choose the document from this drop down he is recording)
Supervisor "First & Last Name" (The user then chooses the first & last name of the specific Supervisor name he is recording the document for from this drop down)
Manager - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
AOR - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
Org Unit - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
Month "January", "February", etc. (The user then chooses the Month of which the document will need to be applied to)
I would like the form to trigger an error with "This document is already recorded for this month" when the user chooses "Monthly Inspection" OR "Safety Roster" for a specific "Supervisor" for a specific "Month" that is already recorded in "TBL_DataTracker". The TBL_DataTracker is where all of my records are stored.

Task Manager Problems
May 2, 2007There are a few procedures that run when my Access database closes (backing up data, etc.). Since this can take a minute or two to finish (running over a network), one of the users here has started to use Task Manager to shut down the application.
This is not ideal, as the same user has also deleted the backend on more than one occasion. Should both happen on one day, we'd lose that day's updates.
Asking them not to do it doesn't work. Explaining why doesn't work. Telling them not to do it doesn't work. If I ask their supervisor to tell them not to do it, they just deny it. It's starting to look like the backup scripts aren't running, when they work fine for everyone else.
Is there any way of either
(a) Preventing them from doing this (unlikely, I'd have thought)
or
(b) Recording the fact that this has happened.
It doesn't necessarily have to be recorded in Access itself - although that would be ideal - if there's some other file I can access to get the info?
Any suggestions are gratefully received.

How To Always Keep Task Pane Open
Sep 26, 2005Is there a way to always keep the task pane open? Right now when I open a file from the list on the task pane displayed under OPEN, the task pane disappears when the file opens. Then when I open the task pane again by clicking on the little white sheet of paper icon at upper left for "new", the task pane opens but the recent list of files used has collapsed and I have to click on the little house at top right to display the list of recently used files again so I can open one of them. Is there a way to keep both the task pane and the list of recently used files open at all times? Thanks.
View 5 Replies View RelatedCalendar Based On Task
Dec 14, 2005As a continuation from this thread (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=98369)...
Currently, I have a list of programs, each program could be considered the "task". When the task is completed, I want the user to click the date on the calendar and have it grayed out. As I mentioned before I have this working correctly, but I have the calendar pulling up based on a query that relys on the program ID. No problem, that way each program has it's own calendar. Now I need to be able to have it pull up the current month if one exists, and if it does not exist create it. For instance it works fine now, but once we hit 1/1/06, it will still be the same calendar... I want it to create a new record, so I could theoretically look at the old calendar if need be.
I tried to tie my query to a month field as well, but to no avail.
Thanks for your help!

Program Windows Scheduled Task
Aug 23, 2007Hi All,
Does anyone one if it is possible to program a schedule for "Windows Scheduled Task" via VBA?
Reason:- A multi user application is set to give a 5 Min warning at the same time every day. After the 5min the users are politely kicked off.
At that time the Windows Scheduled task opens up the BE (only on 1 PC the fastest). The BE start form has a time event that backs up the BE and compacts and repairs itself then closes the application.
Not pretty I know but it works really well.
This shutdown time can be set/changed on the FE however, when it is the windows Scheduled Task has to also be changed which I would like to do automatically via VBA
Any help would be appreciated.
Can We Supress Forms From The Task Panel?
Nov 7, 2006Hi guys,
I have moved all my small databases into 1 larger database to save up on Taskbar space, but the problem is that when I use an opening form to open other forms (switchboard style) the additional forms show in the Start menu Task bar.
Is there some sort of macro that I can use to tell each form to suppress itself from the Task bar?
Modules & VBA :: How To Force Windows Task Bar To Always Be On Top
Apr 14, 2014I write Access 2010 apps in VBA that require no knowledge of Microsoft Access on the part of the user. My forms contain all the necessary controls to use the program without relying on any of the Microsoft Access toolbars. I call this "de-Microsofting" the app. When I prepare the .accdb program to create a .accde app, I uncheck every checkbox (Options/Current Database) except "Compact on Close". This works well, but it also hides the Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Some of my users need to be able to jump from my app to others (e.g., Excel) and back without having to exit my app. How can I force the Windows taxkbar to always be on top using VBA or, possibly, some setting?
