View RepliesSuddenly most of my ribbon functions are greyed out. I noticed it when I was trying to change a simple format. I tried closing outlook and reopening it but nothing is changed. I also tried other databases and still no dice.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am just starting find my way around Microsoft Access However I am currently stuck on something to do with table events (data macros).I added a Before Change and After Update macro to a table and added a RaiseError method to each of them.
I tried to update a record in the table. A dialog appears corresponding to the Before Change method. I deleted the Before Change method and then once again tried to update the table. No dialog box appears The After Update macro does not seem to fire.I tried all the other "After Events" and nothing seems to fire.
i have built an application , all i have is one main form and every action take place inside it. Before making it as .accde file for code protection, i want to hide table pane, navigation ribbon, the Main form Tab. i.e only Main form should open like a applicaiton and not inside access as a tab.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on creating an events log. In my table I've got a field that pulls the individual's username (that they use to log into the computer) and logs it against their log entry.
As part of my query (for my daily events log report) I'm pulling up said username.
I'd like to give access to the specific user to edit his (and only his) entries from the report, but I'm getting a type mismatch with the below code:
Code:
If me.UsernameID = "KraussLJ" Or Environ$("Username") Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmShiftLog"
DoCmd.FindRecord Me.ID, acStart, , acSearchAll, , acAll
Else
MsgBox ("You are not authorized to edit this entry")
End If
(before you ask, "KraussLJ" is our ops manager who insists on having final editorial control over the shift log before sending it higher up the chain)
I can get the msgbox to run if I block out the
Code : Environ$("Username")
, but beyond that I'm a little stuck. Should this be a dlookup function or am I overanalyzing this way too much?
Set default controls comes as grayed out. I am in design view of form.

When the user clicks on the report to zoom in, then the buttons become available and the user can print. At that point the user selects the printer and prints the document.They all share a networked back end and a locally installed front end (same version for everyone)

Looks like it might be a time saver.... But no examples actually showing Access.
Hi
I am trying to get a blank ribbon to be in place when a user opens my application. I have an Adp linked to SQL Server. If I create a table in SQL Server named ribbons and have the app read the data in that table in the AutoExec macro (this runs the code that reads the data) then assign the new ribbon to Application.LoadCustomUI RS("RibbonName").Value, RS("RibbonXml").Value it works and the blank ribbon is displayed. The problem is that this is no use because if the adp is not connected to the database on startup it causes an error as no connection has been established.
Instead I have put exactly the same xml file into a module but this does not have the same affect even though I call the same Application.LoadCustomUI method. I havent really done anything different except change how the xml is found. The problem with this method is it just pops the new ribbon into the list of available ribbons so then the user would have to choose the ribbon, shut down and restart, that is no use.
Has anybody got any idea what can be done about this? I will post the code below.
Thank you for any advice on what can be done.

First method (which works but is no good for distributing the app)
Autoexec calls the following
Public Function LoadRibbons()
Dim RS As Recordset
Set RS = CurrentProject.Connection.Execute("SELECT Ribbons.RibbonName, Ribbons.RibbonXML FROM RIBBONS")
If Not RS.BOF Then
Application.LoadCustomUI RS("RibbonName").Value, RS("RibbonXml").Value
End If
RS.Close
Set RS = Nothing
End Function
but using the following and calling it in autoexec just puts the ribbon in the list and doesnt use it
Function CreateRibbon()
Dim xml As String
xml = _
"<customUI xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"">" & vbCrLf & _
" <ribbon startFromScratch=""true"">" & vbCrLf & _
" <officeMenu>" & vbCrLf & _
" <button idMso=""FileCompactAndRepairDatabase"" visible=""false""/>" & vbCrLf & _
" <button idMso=""FileOpenDatabase"" visible=""false""/>" & vbCrLf & _
" <button idMso=""FileNewDatabase"" visible=""false""/>" & vbCrLf & _
" <splitButton idMso=""FileSaveAsMenuAccess"" visible=""false""/>" & vbCrLf & _
" </officeMenu>" & vbCrLf & _
" </ribbon>" & vbCrLf & _
"</customUI>"
Application.LoadCustomUI "BlankRibbon", xml
End Function
There seems to be some inconsistency in controlling the ribbons in Access 2013.I have managed to use the USysRibbons custom table and XLM to hide the ribbon in one app, but when I set the same config up in another db's the ribbon wont hide.
I've then made an empty db and tried in this and it still wont hide.What are the "current db" setting that must be set to make the ribbon hide?
Any way to move the navigation bar up to the ribbon?
I have been able to add the - First, Last, Next, Previous record buttons but I am stuck at the search box...
I'm getting ready to deploy my database and I would like to Hide the "Home" tab and replace it with a custom tab with just the bare minimum of options. I have alreadyused the access options to hide the other tabs that re normally visible, but can't find how to hide the "Home" tab.

The first control I select I'm able to click the Filter button on the Ribbon and get shown a load of checkboxes to filter the field on (see capture.png)On subsequent controls, clicking the Filter button on the ribbon doesn't show the checkboxes for that control (see capture2.png).

When switching focus to the subforms, the Ribbon Tab for the Main Form stays active and the subform's Ribbon is not activated.

I am upgrading an Access 2000 system to 2007 and replacing user toolbars with Ribbons.I have a strange parsing error that I think is not my error.
I have placed the following control into a group:
<control idMso="GroupPrintPreviewClosePreview" label="Close Preview" enabled="true"/> and "the system" rejects it with Error Code 0x80004005 Element <group> is not expected in <group>I
t turns out that it is finding the word Group within the double quotes and interpretting is at part of the XML syntax.
Change to another idMSO and the problem goes away. Same happened with another control that had the word Group in the id.
I have the following xml script in my table and I want to make the 3rd button be a image that is saved in my c drive.
Code:
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui" onLoad="onRibbonLoad1">
<ribbon startFromScratch="true" >
<tabs>
[code]....
I found the following getimage script but am not sure how to apply it to my button, I have seem various examples on sites but just can't get it to work.
Can I somehow set the icon path like C:Image1.png
Code:
Public Sub getImages(control As IRibbonControl, _
ByRef image)
Set Image = LoadPicture(getAppPath & control.Tag)
' Maybe something like
' Set Image = LoadPicture(c:image1.png)
End Sub
I want to restrict the users to only be able to access certain tabs in the ribbon .example "user1" cannot access the external tab and the create tab, but can access all others.
