I am using Access 2003 - by default there is a 'Type a question for help' drop down box on the menu bar - this is a tad annoying and looks similar to the 'New Mail' icon that displays from my mail client in approximately the same part of the screen....
Any ideas on how to remove the 'Type a question for help' drop down from the Access Tool/Menu bar?
Thank you.
How do I remove items from a right click menu in access 2003? For example I need to remove the form view / design view button from a right click menu but i want to keep the hide/show columns button on the same menu.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a custom menu used on my reports which contains all the icons I need and anchored them to the right side of the report. I have been able to remove the min, max and the close icons from the default report menu bar at the top right hand side as well as the "Ask A Question" dropdown. But I am not able to remove the "Restore window" button that comes with the report print preview.
How do I remove the "Restore Window" icon from the report's menu bar?

Hi all,
This is a simple question i think, but how do i enable my drop down menu to work for a combo box. I have a search query bound to a form and the combo box bound to a field of that query. At present my query just display the first record for any search result from my query on the combo box.
Thanks in advance,

I'm trying to get a drop down menu to select a category then select a sub group based on that choice. Having two boxes is not an option. It has to be from just one box this is because the category is not important and the data to be saved is just from the sub group.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a combo box that I use a barcode scanner with. I scan the barcode and it finds the product using the code below:
Private Sub cmbBarCode_Click()
' ADD A TRANSACTION AUTOMATICALLY
Dim RS As ADODB.Recordset
Set RS = New ADODB.Recordset
RS.Open "SELECT * from tblTransactions", Application.CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
RS.AddNew
RS!OrderID = ID
RS!Barcode = cmbBarcode.Column(0)
RS!Manufacturer = cmbBarcode.Column(1)
RS!ProductName = cmbBarcode.Column(2)
RS!QuantitySold = -1
RS!Cost = cmbBarcode.Column(4)
RS.Update
RS.Close
Set RS = Nothing
lstTransactions.Requery
End Sub
What I need to happen is all the above but after it has finished or before it starts it needs to clear the contents of the box. So the barcode is entered it runs the above script and then removes the barcode from the combo box, so I am ready to scan the next barcode.
Thanks,

Lets say that I have four combo Boxes on my form ’A’ I need to create another form ’B’ that will give the admin the permission to add or remove from these combo Boxes their values, do I need to create another form and simply add 4 combo Boxes and connect them to their source? What about the add and remove button is it done like VB? Can anyone help me with that?

Hi everyone,
I was trying out the options on the startup item of the tools item on the menu bar and my access window has gone except the following menu items: File,Window and Help.
Can someone kindly show me how to bring back these seemingly lost items?
Thank you for your willingness to help me out!
Ok, This is something I have long wanted to do, but cannot figure out.
I am working on a database for a company that orders a large number of Items. I have these all in one table (itemCode, itemDescription, price, categoryCode, etc). I have another table with categorys (categoryCode, categoryDescription) . Each Item is asigned a categoryCode and the appropiate relationship exsists. Right now I have a comboBox in a form that when selected opens a drops down menu with all the Items. Then another one auto loads up (continuous form) and I get the same drop down list of all the Items.
What I would like to have is a combo box then when it is selected shows the categorys, then based on that selection, I see all the Items that are in that category.
I guess another way of saying this simply is, I would like to create a drop down menu inside of a dropdown menu.
Is this possible? Does anyone have another alternative suggestion that might work well? I'm relectant to use a list box, becoase ideally it would be a drop down menu inside of a drop down menu as seen on many websites.
Thanks in Advance!

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way that I can create a 'message' that will appear whent he mouse is scrolled over a button. I have command buttons that launch my reports but would want the user to know what fields are included in each report...therefor, they can put the cursor ontop of a certain button and a small list will show them what is in that specific report
Cheers :)
I have a question of creating a few menu bars.

It works fine.
However, I got a problem, when I created the first menu bar, the menu bar have control box for the forms, the other 2 menu bars do not have it.
How can I make 3 menu bars with control box, minimizs, maximinize, close form boxes?
Hello, I have created my own Menu bar in access and would like to add sub menus to it.
Any help? Thanks.
I could not find Menu design in Access...Is it available during design time?
When I searched for it I found AddMenuItem to programatically add menu...
I vaguely remember seeing menu design in VB 3.0 7 years ago...I am looking for something similiar..
This probably the simplest and stupidest question..please excuse me for that.
Thanks
I was just editing my Access database (stored on the intranet) when a message popped up saying "Disk or network error".
I clicked the only option ("ok") and closed the DB. When I reopened it, it said someone else was viewing it and I only had read permissions. I close it again, and see that in the directory where my .mdb file is stored I have the .ldb file remaining even though it isn't open.
I restart my machine, and try and open it again. I have to compact and repair the DB at Access' suggestion, yet now I only seem to have limited functionality....??
I.e. there is no Tools menu, I can't right click on forms or tables to choose Design View (although if I highlight them in the database pane and click the BUTTON for Design View I am able to proceed)....
What's going on?!!
I've tried going to File > Open and in the little arrow on the Open button choosing "Open Exclusive", but it opens and does the same thing as above...!!
I've checked a different database in Access, and I don't seem to have gone potty, in every other one I'm able to see the Tools menu, etc...?
Anyone got any clues as to how I can get my lovely database back on its feet and functioning properly? :confused: :eek: :rolleyes: :mad:

Hi,
I created my own menu bar in one MS Access file, let's say db1.mdb.
Can I import it to another database file (let's say db2.mdb)?
Thanks.
Greetings,
I have just opened Access and for some reason my menu bar is gone. I have fiddled for a few minutes try to find and restore it - but I am clueless. It is working fine in all other programs.
How do I restore it?

I do not want any menu bar in some application I have made using a switchboard. In the start-up function I unchecked all the checkboxes but some menu functions keep coming back. How can I overrule this?
