1. I disabled the tool bars for startup and hence not able to get back the tool bar again after i started the database. Can someone pls help me get back my tool bars again ?
2. How are we able to implement autocomplete in the forms?
I have a subform, which contains only one text box, which works normally, until I set the startup options to hide the menu bars, database window etc...
Can anyone think of any reason why this should be!?
Hello,
I have a database with certain startup options for the end user. What I
would like is for the database to prompt for a password ONLY IF the shift key
is used to try and bypass the startup options, so that only an authorized
person with the password can see the background of the database. If I simply
set a database password from the Tools menu, it asks for that password with
the startup options as well, and I actually locked myself out of a database
that way! So there needs to be some kind of check for whether or not the user
attempted to bypass the startup options, and based on that, ask for a
password or not. I am not sure if I can do this through Access options
directly, or I will require some coding, but either method is fine.
Please help!
Thank you,
Kriti
can anyone please help me out with suggestions of how to recover records that have been deleted accidentally. :eek: thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have deleted certain content from a table. After it I have compressed and repaired the database but later I found out that I need those deleted data. But now they are gone. Is there any possibility to recover it? Are there any tools or something?
Thank you very much for your help.
I admin an Access 2007 ADP that is distributed to our user base as an ADE. The back end is MSSQL 2005. Recently, we have begun deploying this software to employees in the field who connect to the corporate network via VPN. Because our field employees are sometimes connecting from some seriously flaky Internet connections, we have seen an uptick in Connection Failure errors.
I've been researching ways to detect and reestablish a failed network connection from VBA so that the user doesn't encounter the errors, or the need to close and reopen the application to continue working. This post appears to get me most of the way there, in that it both suggests a way to detect the failure and reestablish a connection on the fly:
[URL] ....
Basically, it suggests replacing the call to CurrentProject.Connection with a call to your own custom function, looking something like this:
Code:
Function fCurrentConnection () As ADODB.Connection
If CurrentProject.Connection.State = 0 Then
CurrentProject.OpenConnection "YourConnectionString"
End If
Set fCurrentConnection = CurrentProject.OpenConnection
End Function
My problem is that I define my connection in the built in server properties of the project. My users connect using Windows NT Integrated security. I don't know what I should put in the "YourConnectionString" area. Is there a way to tell Access to use the stored settings to reconnect, or alternatively, any example string that connects to a server name and database name using Windows NT Integrated security?

How can i disable the naviation i get on my form?
i have a form to add new records, if i accidently scroll the mouse i get previous records shown in the feild, so is it possible to disable the function?
Working in the theatreworld, I'm trying to create something which will usefully combine my contacts and also a database of which shows we have done (dates, actors involved etc, etc) and what shows we have bought in.
So far, I have created my form which has the usual fields (name, address and so on) and also a field which asks users to describe what type of contact they are ie. are they an actor, or a director, or a theatre company.
There are also two command buttons, which will either open up another form which lists all the productions they have been in with us over the years (In-house productions), or one that opens up another form which lists what shows each theatre company has brought to us.
I would like to be able to select 'actor' in the category field which will then enable the command button for me to see what productions that person has been in. Or if I selected the 'theatre company' category then the other button becomes enabled.
Can anybody advise me on this please? Alternatively, if this all sounds far too convoluted, then I am open to suggestions!
Many thanks in advance,
Popps
Is there any way I can disable a subform in my main form until the user has entered some data in the main form and thereby created a primary key?
If the user decides to enter data in the subform first it gives an error and obviously I don't want this!
Just wondered if you might be able to help. I have a form on which I would like to disable some comboboxes until a date box is filled in. Is this possible?
Not too hot with coding - but I have been trying and If Then Else method.
Is this the right way to go?
Thanks
Michelle

Hi All,
I need some help. I want to disable the Escape key when users are entering data on a form. How can I do that?

We need a way to prevent confidential information from being printed.
We have secured the database application itself by disabling all print
commands except the ones we want, but PrintScreen still works fine.
We cannot use any system-wide disbaling of that key, because it is
the only way that users can print off screens from the BPCS terminal
program. We actually have a program that prints off a page directly
when the Print Screen button is pressed, and people have become
accustomed to using it.
I have searched this topic extensively and found nothing. The only
thing I can think of is to make a data access page and use
standard browser security code, but that would require an extensive
rewrite of our application.
Does anyone know how to disable the PrintScreen key from within the
database application? Thanks.
Hello i would like to ask if there is any way for me to enable the menus , the menu bar and the database window if i disable them from the startup options of my Db ?
View 9 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have an innoccuous problem with a report I run in Access. The record source for the report is a query that is pulls data from 6 tables. I have a table titled ARInfo that I have to return amost all the fields in the table (big table) so I used * and show all the fields. When I run the report from the button click event on my form, before the query runs that servers as the report's record source, a parameter dialog box pops up titled ARInfo (table name). You do not have to enter anything in the box for the report to run properly. I have only been with the company or 3 months, but we have used Aceess 97 and Access 2000 in the past and it is my understanding that in the old systems, this dialog would not pop up (The query, form, report, and code is unchanged0. Since we converted to Access 2002, this dialog pops up. The code behind the form, report, and in the associated modules is very immense (This report and form that drives it touches many diferent pieces of the system) so I'm not really about to inclued any code in this post. If anybody knows a quick and dirty trick to disable dialogs or any conceptual theories as to why this is occuring, please let me know.

Hi there everyone,
I got the following Switchboard example somewhere else, and I do understand the code, up to the point where I want to make a change but can't :mad:
The Navi buttons on the right can be chosen by the user to display the different tabbed pages. However, I want sometimes that some of these buttons are disabled at runtime.
I cannot get the right syntax for doing this. I've tried Me.btnPage1.Enabled = False but that just does NOTHING!
Could someone please have a look at the attached DB (frmSwitchboard and the code behind it) and tell me where I am missing something? That would be great, thanks!
Regards,

Im new to this, and a beginner at database design, but I am currently stuck on disabling a command button.
Basically what happens is the form is loaded and there are two buttons (save and undo) both disabled:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Me!cmdSaveAddAd.Enabled = False
Me!cmdCancelAddNewAd.Enabled = False
End Sub
once a text box has been filled in the next occurance happens:
Private Sub Form_Dirty(Cancel As Integer)
Me!cmdCancelAddNewAd.Enabled = True
Me!cmdSaveAddAd.Enabled = True
End Sub
which enables both buttons. but the problem is when a user clicks the undo button i want both buttons to be disabled again, i cannot get the undo button disabled, the save button was easy enough:
Private Sub cmdCancelAddNewAd_Click()
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo
Me!cmdSaveAddAd.Enabled = False
End Sub
but if i put (Me!cmdCancelAddNewAd.Enabled = false) i get an error message saying 'you cannot disable a control that is in focus'.

Hi people i once again need your help!
What I would like is for a combo box to disable if a certain vaule is entered into another combo box.
I have a combo box [FrontDoorType] and when the vaule is N/A or blank then the [FrontDoorColour] combo box is disabled.
Have tried using the conditional formatting tool but keep getting lost.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for all your help!
I'm designing a database to do invoices.
Items_sub is a continuous form.
For an item being returned I've made a command button that brings up a "return" form which is related to the Items form with a one-one relationship, (so the two primary keys are linked). Obviously an item can only be returned once, (logically and because of duplicate primary keys), so i'd like to disable the command button once it's been clicked. At the moment i have:
Private Sub cmdReturn_Click()
Me.cmdReturn.Enabled = False
End Sub
This doesn't work because it disables the button for all the records (It's in a continuous form).
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

How do I disable the switchboard after it's been set as the default. I want to get back into the native objects associated with the main database table. I want to design a new report and then re-enable the switchboard as the default method for users.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis may be a very basic question, but I have to ask: how do I prevent the user from switching to design view and messing with tables and queries. Also, once I do that, how do I get to the design view to make changes if necessary?

ok, might be a really silly question but is there anyway to stop your mouse scroller cycling the records on a form?
This is mainly a problem when in a sub form as when I use the scroller all the combo/text boxes go blank.
They dont lose this data but it's just annoying!
