how to customize my right click "Short-cut" menu in Access 2010. I need a right click menu with ONLY the "Print" and "Print Preview" options for my reports and I would like to disable right click in all other objects.
View RepliesI am building a db and i want to disable the Shortcut Menu (pull down menu at form's title bar) to prevent the users from closing the main form.
There is a Disable Shortcut menu setting in the File/Options menu but the whole db gets the setting.
I simply want to deny the users from accessing the Shortcut Menu when on the Main Menu (or a particular form) but allow it on other forms where Printing is required via the Shortcut Menu.
Im looking at 2 options; edit the shortcut menu or force a form to disable that w/o affecting other forms.
I have the following script which customizes the right click menu.
The problem that I am having is that I call the script to add the right click from the form open event and then multiple users can not access the same database.
I use one for forms and then another for reports.
If I manually close the open forms then reopen them then multiple users can use the same database.
If I close and reopen forms with vba the right click still remains making the database not accessible to multiple users.
It is definitely this as when I comment it out from the open event of the forms then everything is OK.
I call the following from the open event of the form as follows
Code:
Public Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
FormsShortcutMenu
End Sub
The following is stored in a module
Code:
Public Sub FormsShortcutMenu()
Dim cmbRightClick As Office.CommandBar
Dim cmbControl As Office.CommandBarControl
On Error Resume Next
CommandBars("cmdRightClick").Delete
[Code] .....
I'm trying to do right click menu on listbox.
currently i'm trying to implement a right click menu which will show a simple messege box.
My problem is that the list box is on a pop up form which opened up maximized. Now when i'm right clicking on the list box i see the right click menu but when i'm clicking on one of the menu options, nothing happenning (it seems that it don't go to the function as it should). i've also putted breakpoints on the function but it never tips.
It's important to mention that if i'm setting the form popup option to no the right click menu works perfectly (when i'm clicking on one of the options i see its matching messege box).
I'm running the following vba code:
This is the mouse up event handler for my list box:
Private Sub Song_List_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
' Call the SetUpContextMenu function to ensure it is setup with most current context
' Note: This really only needs to be setup once for this example since nothing is
[Code] .....
setting up the "SetUpContextMenu" sub:
Public Sub SetUpContextMenu()
' Note: This requires a reference to Microsoft Office Object Library
Dim combo As CommandBarControl
' Since it may have been defined in the past, it should be deleted,
' or if it has not been defined in the past, the error should be ignored
[code].....
I have reinstalled Access 2010 due to a computer malfunction. I had customized my Dictionary with about 2000 abbreviations for medical specific words: gast for Gastroenterology for instance. Saves tons of typing. I have never been able to save my dictionary just in case something like this happens. And, It's happened before. I may have saved(unsure) once, but it was years ago on Access XP-2003, somewhere in that time frame and was never able to find it if I did. So I am reentering all these words again. It would sure be nice to be able to add them by Anything! but going File/Options/ Proofing/ Auto Correct Options and then entering my shortcuts. that's 4 steps each time. It would seem to me that if you can add the Auto-Correct icon in Word to the Word ribbon, Access should be able to do this. There is no icon i can find in Customize Ribbons/ All Commands. My Word Dictionary does not -never has- synced with Access' Dictionary.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm currently using Microsoft Access 2000. In there I've created a Customized Menu. Now what I'm looking to do is - when I click a menu item, I want it to enable another menu item. I tried using "SetMenuItem Action" but it keeps on telling me that this function only works with customized menus. I'm sure I created a customized menu.
any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
Well, I made the move and am using Access 2010 now and I am running into a couple issues.
First off, I want to get rid of this menu on startup:
Not sure what it's called (ribbon, menu bar, etc). I am able to hide it using
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
...in the OnLoad event, but this only works when running the opening form from the form list. When the form runs at startup the menus do not hide.
Also I would still like to have the file menu available because sometimes the user need to access the print menu to choose an alternate printer.
Currently I have a basic database with the following
Table 1 = "EmployeeT" with fields "Employee_ID", "First_Name", "Last_Name" etc.
Table 2 = "NewLabReportT" with fields "Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract"
Form 1 = "MainMenuF" this is where I would like to have the search
Form 2 = "NewLabReportF" with fields "Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract"
Form 3 = "EmployeeF" with fields "Employee_ID", "First_Name", "Last_Name" etc.
Problem:I would like to have on the Main Menu a drop down list with all of the fields described in NewLaBReportF ("Report_ID", "Report_History", "Submitted_By", "Reviewed_By", "Date_Submitted", "Report_Title", "Abstract") and then allow the user to click a button to the side of it to alert a pop up.
In this pop up:
If they originally clicked "Report_Id" then have the message prompt then to "Enter a Report ID"
If they originally clicked "Submitted_By" then have the message prompt them to "Enter an employees Last Name"
etc...
Further More, after they enter the respective value in this box, have a FORM not a REPORT generate that lists all of the records that match the criteria. This way then can specifically click on each record individually and have it open directly up to it.
I have a main menu "MainMenuF" in my database and I would like the database to be able to be searched by any of the column headings. For example I have a table titled "NewLabReportT" this table has many column headings like "Submitted By" "Reviewed By" "Title" "Abstract" etc...
I would like my users to be able to click a radio button with the same column headers on this main menu and have a box that pops up to say "Enter search parameter" and have that parameter be searched in the table "NewLabReportT" and generate a FORM not a REPORT of all of the listings in the database that have that keyword associated to that certain category searched. That way they can "CLICK" the exact field they are looking for and have it open right up to that form.
Hello,
I am going crazy! I have managed to do this in a previous database and now I can't remember how I did it.
I want to create a shortcut menu for a report that when I right click the mouse button it gives me the option to print. When I select print on this shortcut menu it goes straight to the printer instead of giving me the printer dialogue box.
Please help!
Thanks
I'm working to put together a shortcut menu for a form that will be viewed as a datasheet. I'm trying to put together the vba to create the menu. I'd like a lot of the standard options i.e. sort a-z, filter toggle etc. I'd also like to add the menu option that is displayed in the default menu called "Text Filters". I've been unable to find the id code for that option, and since it, when chosen opens another menu, I'm not real sure how to code it. Here is what I have so far:
Sub CreateWIPShortcutMenu()
Dim cmbRightClick As Office.CommandBar
Dim cmbControl As Office.CommandBarControl
' Create the shortcut menu.
Set cmbRightClick = CommandBars.Add("cmdWIP", msoBarPopup, False, True)
[code]....
I am using Access 2003 and have a custom shortcut menu. I wish to add some entries to this shortcut menu dynamically.
Background : I am displaying a list of customer orders and wish to offer the user the facility to filter the search for one item instead of the default of ALL.
The dynamic entries would be the unique order item reference nos. retrived for that particular customer retrieved via recordset . So the menu would show :
ALL
------
Model 1
Model 2
Model 3
etc.
...
How am I able to add these entries to the menu, the selection text will be the filter text I use to report upon.
I have continuous form in Access 2010 and I would like when user will click on record, the image, for instance, imgTest become visible for that record. But for other records the image not visible. How it to do?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI finally got tired of having 100 macros managing my different custom shortcut menus, and decided to figure out how to generate the shortcut menus programatically (because lets be honest, Macros are the devil.)
I found a good tutorial here : [URL] .....
and was able to create some basic shortcut menus like the following:
Code:
Sub CreateCopyShortcutMenu()
Dim cmbshortcutmenu As Office.CommandBar
Set cmbshortcutmenu = CommandBars.Add("CopyShortcutMenu", _
msoBarPopup, False, False)
'ID 19 adds copy command
cmbshortcutmenu.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, Id:=19
End Sub
Nice and simple, now I have a copy command. But the problem is that I also need some custom commands. Most (possibly all?) of these would be function calls.
I am running Access 2010. I have added the following to the "On Open" event on my main form:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
DoCmd.NavigateTo "acNavigationCategoryObjectType"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
Me.ShortcutMenu = False
End Sub
My main form (frmMain) is displayed when the database opens. As you can see, I am hiding the ribbon and the navigation pane from users. I also want to prevent users from right clicking on the form and opening it in Design view - trying to prevent any monkey business. However, the line:Me. ShortcutMenu = False
is not preventing users from right clicking on the form and getting the shortcut menu and going into Design view.If I go to Options and uncheck: "Allow Default Shortcut Menus" then I lose the ability to print reports because I have the ribbon hidden and this will not allow right click on reports.Converting to .accde is not an option at this time.
I am currently in the process of creating a pop-up menu to allow my users to do some simple text formatting.I have used the following code to do so:
Code:
Dim cmbShortcutMenu As Office.CommandBar
' Create the new pop-up menu instance
Set cmbShortcutMenu = CommandBars.Add("popupFormatMenu", msoBarPopup, False, True)
' Add the bold button
[code]....
The problem is that I now want to add the FontColor picker control and I keep getting an error.I think the problem lies in the type of control I want to add. According to the Microsoft support files I downloaded the fontColor control is of type Gallery and ID = 11949, so the code should look something like this:
Code:
cmbShortcutMenu.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, id:=11949
I need to replace msoControlButton with something else.
how I can have a shortcut option when right click on each item on the list box. So I got my answer with below code that opens another form "frmshortcut" with a listbox inside that shows list of options like "new task" , "edit item" . Now my problem is (like attached picture) the shortcut list (frmshortcut) will be open in another place when I right click the mouse, it is far from location of click. Also it shows some default in access when I right click in the listbox ("subform", "cut", "copy"), actually I do not like it shows these, just I like it shows shortcut list I have defined by the list box.
Private Sub ItemList_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) Const RIGHTBUTTON = 2 If Button = RIGHTBUTTON Then DoCmd.OpenForm "frmshortcut"
' DoCmd.OpenForm "frmshortcut", acNormal, , , , acDialog
Forms!frmshortcut!txtparameter = Me.ItemList.Value
End If
End Sub
Is there a keyboard shortcut that simulates the double click.
In my Sectionfrm I have a command button that opens my Ordersfrm. Because I use the Ordersfrm for reasons not always associated with the Sectionfrm I do not automatically populate the SectionID (textbox) in the Ordersfrm with the SectionID from the Sectionfrm.
When I want to link an order to a (building) section I double click the SectionID field in the Ordersfrm which in turn runs VBA code that copies the SectionID from the Sectionfrm to the Ordersfrm.
As I tab through my form I find it annoying to move away from my keyboard to the mouse to double click the SectionID, so the question is:
Is there a keyboard shortcut that simulates the double click to run the VBA code?
how to create a Report with Customize Reference No. Reference Number should be continuously adding 1 count every time a user will print report.
example:
On dec 16, morning..... reference no: THS-01 (1st print)
dec 16, afternoon...reference no: THS-02 (2nd print)
dec 17 morning.....reference no: THS-03 (3rd print)
dec 18 morning.....reference no: THS-04 (4th print) etc....
THS-XX is my reference number and it will continuously counting. Is this possible in MS Access 2007 Report? If Yes? How can i do it?
I am using Access 2007-2010 and I was able to create a report but now I want to include a stacked bar in it.
My report shows one record at a time, so the values for my chart change accordingly. The chart should have four columns: Student, Homemaker, Retired, Employed I have assigned a colour for each category in "Edit" mode (by clicking separately on each column). However, sometimes the results don't show all four values and then my stacked chart only has 3 categories, but I would like it to show the missing category and just have value as 0. But most importantly the colours get all messed up. Can I permanently assign a color for each column?
Also the order is not how I want it to show. Right now it's in alpha order..how can i customize the order of the columns?
I tried doing this in datasheet - saved; but when I switch to a report view - everything changes back...
Hi All
A quick question.
Is it possible/Easy to wipe out the standard menu for right clicking a listbox
and replacing it with a custom menu.
I would like to make some custom functions for adding and deleting records using list box contol instead of having a huge amount of buttons all across the screen
Thanks Homer
I have locked my db down so that no one can use the right-click options will in it. I did this to lock them out of the filters and properties options. Does anyone know how I can allow them to use the right-click with the mouse to only do cut, copy, paste, and hyperlink? Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a column graph I created for a report.
The Y axis has number of days.
The X axis has Member ID.
When I make the column graph the data seems to not be in any order. The report is in order by the number of days in ascending order.
How can I have the columns with the largest number show up first and the columns get smaller. I would like the largest column all the way to the left, proceeding the next one in size so it goes from largest to smallest.
I have an Access 2010 database connected to several SharePoint lists. I'd like to be able to print a report (based on a query) and add that report as a .pdf attachment to the record I was looking at when I generated the report.
At the moment I can save the report as a .pdf to a local file store, then upload it as an attachment, but is there any way to skip that step and add it to the correct record automatically?
I would like to be able to send reports in PDF straight to a folder in Drop box with the click of a button.
