I have set up a secured database using access 2003 which I want to roll out to users who will only have access runtime installed on their pc's.
The problem is there are some additional options that I want to add to a new menu (export, change password etc) that I need them to be able to view in runtime - when I set up a new menu in access 2003, it doesn't seem to be visible on anybody else's PC when they are logged into the database regardless of whether they have full access or runtime.
I have developed an application and packed it into a runtime version. However, in the runtime version the shortcut menus do not work. The reason why I want the user to have that possibility is that the application has two hyperlink fields and it is much easier for the users to be able to browse to the documents instead of typing each link with all the errors that might give as well. Any help would be appreciated.
After searching through the "search" field, I realize lots of us are having problems with the menu's in access 2007.
After converting my 2003 DB to 2007, my menus are still there, but displayes as Add-ins instead of as the menu bar. I can't find any options to change during the conversion. I have tried importing my Logon window with the options "menus and icons" clicked, but this didn't change anything. If I open the DB in 2003 Format, then go to the options in Access 2007 I can choose the menubar, but if I convert to 2007, the menubar is only available as add-ins. Is there any way round this?
Appreciate any help - it is so time consuming trying to figure this out - and I seem to go round in circles, ticking options on and off... perhaps some dear soul has already found the answer!
Hi, I have hidden all the menus and added one of my own custom menus to a DB that I was creating. That DB has been completed. Now when I open a blank DB to commence again, I have the same hidden menues and my one custom menu. Is there away in Access 2003 that I can replace the template, for example, MS Excel and Word have .dot and personal.xls. Is there an easy way to bring them all back. I checked in startup for a restore defaults, however this does not work. Any ideas. Garry
I started access today and all my icons and menus are gone from the interface. I am forced to right click on all my queries and tables to perform any action. All I have at the top of my window is the usual "Microsoft Access" caption. Absolutely nothing else. Other than that, Access is fully functional provided I can use the right click commands. Has anyone encountered this? Help!
I’ve attached a zipped example of the problem I am having with customised navigation buttons.
In my main database the form “subfrmPersonsContact” works perfectly. I have exported it to a new database and now the customised record count fields do not work at all – they are in fact blank even though the navigation buttons do still work.
The code running the form and the record count fields is listed below – I have no idea why it’s not working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Rusty :D

I want to print different versions of a report depending on on the user login id "quserid" which I have on a login form "authorise".
As a simple example I have tried using a single user with the syntax shown below but get an error message "Object required". I suspect the problem is in the way I identidfied the quserid field. Can anyone please advise me on this. Regards Peter
If AUTHORISE.quserid = "ADMIN" Then Dim stDocName As String
I've been reading everywhere on this site trying to find out how to do this, but just can't seem to grasp it. I see people saying it can be done, but can't find more specific details on how to go about it. I just want to view a pdf file from within the access environment. I need to be able to view contracts from my app, and joy oh joy they are all in PDF form.
Any help is greatly appreciated to get me started on this. I've tried using the Active X Adobe Acrobate Control but to no avail.
we are traders of metal scrap. we have lots of material pictures on the basis of container numbers. We want make a user form where on entering the container number the relevant picture will be shown.
:eek: Our office is planning to switch over to MS Office 2007 including Access 2007. I've just been looking into converting our Access 2003 databases to the new version. One thing I noticed about the datasheets appearing as subforms is that each field header/label/caption/column selector thingie has a dropdown menu. The down arrow of the dropdown menu takes up valuable realestate where the field name is being displayed.
Question: Is there a way to turn off those individual datasheet dropdowns and get rid of the arrows so that the form doesn't have to be redesigned, due to increased column width considerations which the down arrows cause, just to display the full field labels as they always have been in Access 2003?
Viewing a report from an Access Webpage... I can not, unlike from a form, create a button to view a report. Is there anyway around this? Is there no functionality to display the report as an html page or so?
I am trying to view a Crystal Report within a Microsoft Access Project. I am recieving the following error " object does not support this property or method". I have registered the crystl32.ocx and the crviewer.dll. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks Jacqueline
if a relevant user opened the db. All well and good, except they then wanted to be able to see the Access link in the taskbar (which SW_HIDE doesn't do) - so I changed it to SW_MINIMISE and they were happy again until..They then realised (and it was a surprise to me as well) that the right click context menus used to filter and sort continuous or datasheet forms were no longer available to these users - nor was the context menu for datasheet columns to freeze or hide columns - see attached.
I've experimented with a number of options and these context menus are available if ShowWindowAsync is not called or if called with SW_HIDE, but not for SW_MINIMISED, SW_SHOWMINIMISED, SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE, SW_SHOWNOACTIVE.
Why the shortcut menus are not available when the Access window is minimised? The requirement being that the context menus are available to all users the Access link appears on the task bar for all users the access window is hidden for some users.I should say that due to hiding/minimising the access window all forms are popup and modal.
I have created a report in Access 2002, that I use to export to Excel. My problem is the field names in the report are quite long and some are very similar to each other. I can not find a way to view a list of the field names for the report while in Desing view.
I have no real formatting on the report as I only use it for exporting, and looking at the report itself in Access, all the field names are truncated
Any help on how to view which fields are in the report and how could I easily add another field in the middle of it if needed.
I am very new to access and have a question which I think is very easy to answer. What I have is an access file with a listing of companies, their contacts and what services we provide for them. (each company/client/service is listed in a row with each new set of information on the row below it).
What I am looking to do it to create a data access page that anyone in our office can view. I want the access page to have a text box where they can type in the name of the company, then click a 'search' button. That will then display the results in a box below everything. The results would be the contact and the services (there are other columns in the datasource as well, but I didn't list them).
If anyone can shed some light onto my problem it would be most appreciated!
if let say i create a page that have database (*.mdb file) and for my client side, the PC don't have Microsoft Access, can they view the page that have *mdb file?
I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard. But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007. I can't use the Package Wizard.
We have two computers in a work group. On computer1 I have the back-end and front-end database files in the shared folder and 2 users out of 4 can access the database no problem. When the other users try to access the database they receive the error message "Microsoft Access can't Find The Database 'C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsdb.mdb' Make sure you entered the correct path and filename" On computer2 I have the front-end database files in the shared folder and pointing to the same back-end database on computer1. Again 2 users out of 4 can access the database no problem. When the other users try to access the database they receive the same error described above.
I expect that this is some sort of windows permissions issue? There are some clues to this fact .. The two users that can't access the database are limited accounts, but I tried making them administrators and this had no affect. Their shared documents folder does not have a hand underneath it?
Any help on this appreciated as it's really starting to annoy me now!
I have access 2003 installed, which I use to make systems ( doh )
Anyway, I have just installed Access Runtime on the same machine so that I can test my databases on the runtime version to make sure that all works ok. However, I have installed several times now, but I can not find runtime anywhere to run it... Can you not use runtime if you have full blown access installed ? Or am i just having a blonde moment ???
