Switchboard (Disable Items)

Jul 18, 2005

Hi Folks,

I have created a switchboard that has 8 more sub switchboards. They have got items from 1 to 8. My database is setup with users and their authorised access levels. Admin has level 1, Manager level 2, Users Level3. Now what i want is that when admin logs in all the items in the switchboard must be available, but when a Manager with leve 2 or a user with level 3 logs in to the database then certain items on a specific Switchboard must be diabled For example lets say Sub Switchboard No 3 and its item number 4 (SwitchboardID = 3 and Item Number 4) should be disabled. I tried searching it on the Forum but no use. All i request you is to help me in this issue.


Warm Regards

Switchboard Items..need More Than 8

Aug 17, 2005

How can I increase the number of items on a Switchboard?

When I change the code, "conNumButtons = 8" to 20, an errors says only 8 items are allowed on a switchboard page.

When I select debug, the VB opens and the following line is highlighted yellow: "Me("Option" & intOption).Visible = False"

Do I need to change this line, or delete? to accommodate more items on a switchboard page, or am I stuck with only 8 items?

Thanks.

Listbox: Disable Some Items

Dec 7, 2007

I have a list box bound to a table. 3 columns (ID, item, open). only item is visible. The box contains forms or reports that will open on double click. The column open contains the name of the form or report to open

Some forms and reports are a work in progress, hence, they are still listed in the list box but the open value is blank and of course won't run.

I'd like to change the colour of the list list box items that won't run.

I'm thinking maybe some kind of If.. isnull type statement...

any ideas are appreciated.

Switchboard Items Playing Dead

Oct 2, 2004

Hi - would like some help.

I have a switchboard on which I have items which when clicked should bring up forms or other switchboards but do nothing. They just play dead. They did work in the past (i.e in the last hour) but don't anymore. I haven't edited anything on the switchboards or the forms beng called so am a touch puzzled

Any Ideas or answers much appreciated

General :: Change Switchboard Items For Different Users

Oct 8, 2014

I have two versions of the switchboard items table. (A2003 switchboard). I have a login form, and I want to be able to change the switchboard items for different users

so I have code that does this

close the switchboard,
copy the new switchboard items table
reopen the switchboard

And every time, it says it cannot copy the table because the switchboard items table is in use. The code in the switchboard opens recordsets, and I have quadruple checked that they are closing correctly, after use. The switchboard itself is bound to the switchboard items table

I have just tried something different which is to manually close the switchboard - and then I CAN copy the tables.

Might the code be atomic in some way. The switchboard does not release the locks until the code completes?

I thought about it, and got round it now, by just copying the data from the new table to the master table, rather than trying to copy tables, but I am still curious.

have a drop down menu on a form. When it has been updated to a certain value I want some of the field on my form to be disabled.

I am thinking it is a afterUpdate event, What would be the code to disable another field on the form

would it be something like this

If Forms![frmPlacements]![CostType] = "consultant" Then Forms![frmPlacements]![Wages].Disabled


CostType is a drop down menu with entry as follow: consultant, permananent, none and when consultant is selected the Wages text box should be disabled

Please look at the following post in a forum

General :: Error Reading Switchboard Items Table

Jun 26, 2013

I have two options on the main switchboard page and when I click on the second option it goes to a secondary page that gives me 3 options with the third option being to return to the main screen. When I select that option it does go back to the main screen but then on the main screen it shows the return to main screen option as well and when I select it.... it says " There was an error reading the switchboard items table." But I want the main screen to only show the original two options only.

User Security Access 2013 For Switchboard Items

Aug 3, 2015

I have user security level setup with username and password.I have set forms and tables etc to security levels.what i am having trouble with is setting user security levels to command buttons on the switchboard.Example if you sign in Mary Jones and you click on the command button (open Tom Smith switchboard) button on the main switchboard and your not tom smith you get a message access denied.

Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If Forms!frmLogin!cboUser.Column(4) <> 2 Then
MsgBox "you cant open this form"

[code]...

it is a switchboard page. and putting CoCmd.OpenSwitchboardPage that does not work either..when you look at the event on click of the command button a macro opens up but I dont see how you can edit it.

General :: How To Manage Items In Set And Individual Items

Jul 31, 2013

I just want to know how to manage items in set and individual item. Suppose my product list are

individual items = A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K
and 5 pc set = A,B,C,D,F
and 3 pc set = G,H,K

How should I design the table. Previously I designed the table for individual items and whenever orders for set is placed user had to enter individual items with quantity.

E.g. order is for 5 pc set = 3000

A=3000
B=3000
C=3000
D=3000
F=3000

Now I need to just say 5 pc set and it should be automatically populated. And also if order have combination of individual and set items.

Linking From Switchboard To Switchboard On Two Or More Databases

Nov 21, 2006

I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.

I have the original database with the name of "Cell MFG Screen" that contains a switchboard. I am now creating a db to keep track of manufacturing waste (which will also be on the same server when completed). That switchboard is called "Cell Waste Weight". Again, I want to keep these db's separated from one another as well being able to add future dbs. Now, what my plan is to make up a one db that consists of only a switchboard that will be used as the main switchboard to be able to navigate to other dbs that are located on the server.

Does anyone know how this is done?

Thank you in advance for your help,

~Kilch

Help With Switchboard

Jan 31, 2006

Brief Summary,

I have limited experience in Access but have a bit more understanding of databases and tables. I am helping a friend create and access database to track the time his employees spend on different job sites. i am using a template from Microsoft called "Time and Billing" I am going to be manipulating the structure a bit but other than that the template should work fine.

My main struggle is I need to have a screen that the employees access that takes them straight to add / edit a time sheet. i want the rest of the data, reports, views to be password protected. Ideally the switchboard would load up to a page that had a button from employees to click on where they would be taken to the form and a button the owner could click on, enter a password, and be taken into the back-end where the main switch board and the rest of the data resides.

If anyone can help me out that would be great. Oh yeah, The Access database in is Access 2000 being used on a machine running XP Pro.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Switchboard

Mar 17, 2005

I think this is a simple request for those who know.

I want to display my switchboard to a user group, (read and update ).

The switchboard needs to be full screen and have no means of being minimsed or close, except by the exit button (obviously) on the switchboard.I also do not want to show any of the tool bar icons as well.

I want to retain it as it is now to me as 'admin' when I log in, that is with the ability to minimise and close etc.and all icons

How do I achieve this?

Switchboard Help

Jul 7, 2005

I would like to know if there's a way of adding a switchboard page that goes to a table instead of only forms and reports and such? Because I have subdatasheets that I would like to see when I click on a button from the switchboard, instead of just simply going to a form and not being able to work as easy as it would be to work with a table that displays the subdatasheet right there.

Thank you,

Charlie

Switchboard

Nov 10, 2005

I have copies of a split database (front end) placed on each employee’s computer, and I noticed my switchboard screen does not appear when the employee opens the database on their computer. I went through a lot of work designing the switchboard and would like to have it appear upon opening the DB. I know everything in the database is linked so there is no reason the switchboard should not appear. Any suggestions on how to make this happen?

In addition, I have pictures on the switchboard buttons, and I also noticed when I go to the second screen, the buttons on the second switchboard screen uses the same pictures as the default screen. Is there a way to not have it do that?

Thanks.
