Screen Updating

Aug 3, 2006

I have a button on a form which closes the form and opens a different one. This causes the screen to "flash" as one is closed, the main menu becomes visible very briefly and then the new form opens.

In Microsoft Excel I used to use the VBA code:

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

to prevent this and only allow the final state to be displayed. I've tried this with Access and it doesn't seem to work.

Is there an equivalent?

Turn Off Screen Updating

Jun 15, 2005

I've had a search and can't find anything along these lines...

I've got some code which plays about with reports and it looks awful when it's running - is there an equivalent of Excel's "Application.ScreenUpdating = False" functionality in Access (2000)?

Forms :: Updating Multiple Records On A Screen?

Feb 12, 2014

I have a screen with multiple records from a database. At the top of the screen I have a button that lets the user change the mode between read only and edit modes. The current mode is displayed near the button. When the user decides to update a record or records he goes into the edit mode and starts changing the records. The user may change any number of records on the screen. When editing is finished he presses a button called save and close gets feedback and leaves the screen. Now in this process how do I keep track of the records that are changed on the screen . Plus he can hit the page down key and go to the next page and make changes there also. Is it possible to stop the hitting of the page down key. What indicators can I use to spot the records changed?

A Simple Login Screen / Also Access In Full Screen

Jul 27, 2006

I have tried to make a login screen, I have also searched for information and tried some of the examples but, I just can't get one to work.
Is there someone or somewhere where I can get information on how to build one step by step in simple easy instructions....(access 2003).

Also, how do you get access to open all the windows, tables, queries etc in full screen mode.
I have expaneded them and shut it down and then reopened it but they still want to open out of full screen mode.

Thanks, everyone has been a great help in creating my first Access program.

"Do Not Show This Screen Again" : Splash Screen

Aug 1, 2006

Hello all,

I have this splash screen, which welcomes all the users. It has an OK command button that exits the screen, and a checkbox that says "Do not show this screen again". I still do not have the code behind the checkbox. Thus I was wondering if there is a way where I could entirelly close or "get rid" of the splash screen until the user loggs in again. Because right now there is no code behind it, so everybody that checks it and click OK, leaves the screen. But they can still open it, if they select the "splash form".

Forms :: Updating Fields Via Code Not Updating Table

Dec 16, 2014

I have a form that has combo boxes and text fields (as well as sub forms). There is also a button linked to some code that says'

Private Sub cmdQuote_Click()
'Creates quote date and prints quote
Me.QuoteDate = Now()
Me.cbAgentID.Requery
DoCmd.OpenReport "Quote", acViewPreview, , "BookingID = " & Me.BookingID
End Sub

When the button is pressed the QuoteDate field (it is bound) should be be populated, but unfortunately it is not. I have played with refresh and requery but cannot derive a solution.

Is till possible while using Data Access Pages as well?

Screen Positioning

Apr 13, 2005

How to I get the screen to show the top of the form?
Solid lines and xs show what is shown on the screen.

This is used for bigger resolutions. I am modifying the layout of the forms depending on the screen resolution.
Also what is the highest resolution anyone has seen an access database running at?

Auto resize and Auto Centre are both already set to no.
Using access 2000. There are no scroll bars on the form.

Blank Screen (No Switchboard)

Aug 8, 2005

Hi, I hope someone can help! I have purchased a programme that operates using MS Access. The software loads and functions perfectly on my desktop computer, when I put it onto my laptop, it loads but when I agree to the terms and conditions a switchboard should open but all I get is a grey blank screen with only file, window and help. I did have Nortons 2005 internet suite on it but I have removed that thinking it had something to do with that, restarted my computer removed and reloaded the software and the same happens. I think there is something wrong with the settings on the laptop or some form of script blocking. I am absolutesly exasperated. Please help with any suggestions as I know that the software is functioning and I know that Access is functioning and obviously Access thinks it is displaying everything or there would be an error box. Please help!!

Animated Splash Screen

Oct 18, 2005

I have learned how to create animated command buttons within a form. This works out great, but this brought on new ideas.

Currently, all I have is a stand alone picture (our logo) that is stored in the same directory as the db and to my knowledge this has nothing to do with access at all (other then it pulling the .bmp). I would like our Logo to be animated (simple rotating) during the Intro Splash screen.

Is this a possible task?

Database And Screen Resolution

May 15, 2006

I couldnt find a search facility to see if this had been covered before, so apologies if it has been answered before.

I have created an application in Access (2002) which from the users side of things will start in a form and give them no access to the back end.

Unfortunately, it is entirely possible that different users will have their screens set at different resolutions and so the application will be unusable on some and too small on others.

I was wondering if it was possible for access to automatically resize according to the users screen resolution.

I have searched the MS Knowledge Base and help files etc, but I think it is looking less likely that it is possible. Creating 5 or 6 different versions for different screen resolutions would be a none option.

Thanks for reading.

DB Program In Small Screen

Jun 27, 2007

I made an Access DB program in my PC. I have 17 inches monitor and so I designed everything to fit in that screen. When it was deployed in the user's computer, it did not fit in his screen as he has only 14 inches monitor. The command buttons and other things were not visible and were out of view of the screen. I changed the screen resolution but it made the fonts look much smaller. I have used 12 pt fonts in my Prg. Is it possible to correct my forms so that it automatically fits in all sizes of screen?
