Start Up MS Access From Vb And Bypass Startup Macro
Jun 14, 2012
I know that I can startup MS-Access manually and bypass the startup options, including any macro that is set to run automatically, by holding the Shift key down when launching the application. I have:
Code:
Public Sub AccessStuff()
Dim myaccess As New Access.Application
myaccess.OpenCurrentDatabase(" orfs006slsops_repts\_RS DevSOPSOP.MDB")
Dim db = myaccess.CurrentDb()
End Sub
which works nicely and opens the database just fine. However, this mdb has a startup macro defined in it. I can't hold down the Shift key since I'm doing this from a program. In this case, how can I bypass the startup macro?
If I hold down the SHIFT-key and click on my access database the database boots up with the startup options! I can't get into my database even if I hold down the SHIFT key!! Help me, please
I am able to bypass the shift key so I can disable ribbon and all menus at startup.
But the issue I have is anytime someone makes a copy of the database or it is their first time opening it they get prompted with the security warning:
"Security Warning - some active content has been disabled, click here to enable"
and it gives them complete access to see the back end of the database because while that warning message is popped up ... before they click "enable" they can go do anything in the database including see tables, data, and vba.
Once they click "enable content" that first time the bypass takes effect and the ribbon and all menus disappear, but if they dont click it they can navigate all around the db
I am trying to write a more complex macro that will start another macro at a preset time, however I am getting stopped at the first hurdle - getting a macro to run another macro.
Here is the code i am using at the moment, all I want to do currently is click the first button, then get the second macro to execute. But no luck, getting error 2157 "cannot find the procedure"
I have a button that runs a macro to delete records in 12 tables. I want to create a message box before that macro runs warning that you are deleting records in 12 tables and are your sure you want to run the macro.
I need a message box with an ok and cancel button. Where do I put the msgbox funtion in this code?
Thanks !!
This is my code:
Private Sub cmdRunDeleteMacro_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdRunDeleteMacro_Click
I have a problem where i unchecked the "allow built in toolbars" , "allow toolbar menu changes","allow full menus" and " allow default shortcut menus" from the TOOLS Menu item (STARTUP) How do i get back all the menus to show when the application starts up?
Hello to everyone!, Could I ask a help how could I possibly code MS Access Startup to set the MenuBar, ShortCut Menu, FormMenu, Special Keys to OFF to prevent user from using these keys when my application starts?
I have a database that will be used by a few users who are not very comfortable with Microsoft Access. I have a login screen and a introduction/splash popup. I was wondering if it is possible to bypass the Microsoft Access pop-ups that ask the user if they want to "block unsafe code.." or The security popup that says "This file may not be safe" so that the users go right to the login screen I created within the database. I am worried that there will be variations in answering/clicking these Microsoft Access questions thus causing a variety of complaints when trying to access the database. Thank you
Hi I've just moved my PC over to Office 2007. I have previously created an application in A2003 that consists of three databases which I move between frequently using command buttons running the following code to close the current one and open the new one:-
Private Sub Command14_Click() Dim RegSet As New QwestLib.QRegistryFunctions On Error GoTo Err_command14_Click
Application.Quit acQuitSaveAll Exit_command14_Click: Exit Sub
Err_command14_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_command14_Click End Sub
In 2003 this worked fine but we always had to enable macros on opening the new one. This is now not required as the application is "Trusted" but in A2007 every time a database opens the "Getting Started with MS Access" window opens.
Is there some way I can switch this off as it is unnecessary and time consuming.
I'm trying to migrate an Access 2000 project to Access 2007. I want that the frontend doesn't look like Access. This means: no ribbons, no office button, no Quick Access Toolbar, no database panel. In 2K, this was rather simple, but in 2007 I only managed so far to get rid of the ribbon (by replacing it with a blank ribbon) and the navigation pane, but I can't figure out what to do to hide the Office button and the QAT. Can anyone help me with this ?
I thought I had this figured out, but apparently am still missing something...
When I start my DB, I get the default 'Security Warning' message every time asking if I want to cancel or continue... I thought this was an options setting under the Tools/Macro/Security setting. However, when I change this setting (default is Medium) to Low, exit Access and restart the DB I get the same warning message and the security setting is back to medium.
Am I in the right area to fix this? Why would my settings default back?

Sorry if this is a really dumb question - I have just started using Access and I couldn't find the answer to this doing a forum search.
I have made a database consisting of a table and a form. All I want to do is get the form to appear automatically when the database is opened. I am using Access 2007.
Thought I best ask this question BEFORE I run into trouble.
If I were to set my database to hide the database window and all menus on startup so that users can only do what I want them to do and not edit anything. How do I go about reversing this if I needed to edit something as I would not be able to see any of the regular menus?
It would be good if the solution involved some sort of admin password rather than a sneaky short cut that a user may accidently stumble across.
This may sound a bit silly, but my Access 2003 refuses to start.
I recently re-installed Office 2003 after a fresh installation of WinXP. Word, Excel etc work as normal. This is the message that comes up when I attempt to start Access:
"Please wait while Office 2003 Prof. Ed. configures. Required data is being determined"
after that nothing happens. Any ideas?
Please note that I'm using the German versions of OS and Office. My translation probably doesn't match the original message.
I just started working for a company the other week and they threw this query onto my lap with an unrealistic deadline. My programming experience is primarily in VB6, so I am not completely familiar with coding Access queries.
I was given code that was written for SQL, and the programmer that came up with it is unfamiliar with Access, so I am stuck trying to decipher this. If anyone could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it, as I am thoroughly confused and don't know where to begin. Here is the programmer's original code: while exists(select top 1 accNum from NoteFile where patindex('%' + char(10) + '%',dbtrref) > 0) begin --Insert note into table insert into #TL19Note(AcctNumber, Note) select accNum, (case when patindex('%' + char(10) + '%', dbtrref) <= 0 then dbtrref else left(dbtrref,patindex('%' + char(10) + '%',dbtrref)) end) from NoteFile
--Delete note from Note String update NoteFile set dbtrref = right(dbtrref,len(dbtrref)-len(left(dbtrref,patindex('%' + char(10) + '%',dbtrref)))) where len(dbtrref)-len(left(dbtrref,patindex('%' + char(10) +'%',dbtrref))) > 0
--Delete rows with no more notes delete from NoteFile where len(dbtrref)-len(left(dbtrref,patindex('%' + char(10) +'%',dbtrref))) <= 0 or patindex('%' +char(10) + '%',dbtrref) <= 0 end
--Eliminates any that are CRLR or just spaces delete from #TL19Note where len(Note) < 10
--Update the date update #TL19Note set NoteDate =left(Note,patindex('% %',Note)-1), Note = right(Note,len(Note)-patindex('% %',Note))
--No '@' means no time? update #TL19Note set NoteTime = '0000' where left(Note,1) <> '@'
--delete the '@' - we know which ones have it because NoteTime is null update #TL19Note set Note = right(Note,len(Note)-patindex('% %',Note)) where left(Note,1) = '@'
--Update NoteTime, take time out of note update #TL19Note set NoteTime = left(Note,2) + substring(note,4,2), Note = right(Note,len(Note)-patindex('% %',Note))
I recently bought a new computer and it was kinda cheap, so no office products were installed on the computer. A friend loaned me her copy of Office 2003 which didn't have Access on it. So, after installing Office 2003 I picked my old Office 97 CD and installed just Access 97. Then I go to open the database and get this annoying message.
Microsoft Access can't start because there is no license for it on this machine.
Hi guys. I have some forms in my access database and i want load one of it automatically when i double click on my access.mdb . I be happy if some one teach me how i can do that.Thanks
I was reading the threads related to bypass issues...
Now I know how to disable (or enable) shift key of a database with password using the code provided by ghudson: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=51479&highlight=bypass
In other thread he provided another way to enable or disable the shift key using another method: (developed by Ricky Hicks):
this one can easily disable or enable the shift key of any database... even if that is disable with the password protected method provided by ghudson...
so... my question... is there any method that will ONLY allow enable or disable the key with a password?
Is there a way to change the shift key and use another key on startup?? Security for me isn't a big issue... but I'd still like to protect things from being tampered with. I don't want to use MS security (I use it on other DBs) but its not really approriate on the one I'm developing. Any ideas??
On my form the first control which gets focus has a code which cannot contain a null value. It may happen nevertheless that users may need to just close the form without making an entry in this control (listbox).
Is there a way I can add a code to a cmbbutton to skip that forced entry meaning to leave the control null and exit the form? Thank you.
