Window Can't Be Moved Containing All Forms And Tables

Dec 20, 2011

Suddenly my database started to act wierd. Look at the attached image. I can't move the window containing all the forms and tables. And I need to point out that I didn't place it there myself...

How to move it? I tried everything I could come up with, i.e. remove the toolbars, changing size of tha window and the programs window, restarting, re-saving, etc.

Split Database. Update Linked Tables If Back End Moved.

Dec 7, 2007

Hi.

I'm about to move to a back end / front end system, from a single database file. Before I do so, I want to make sure I have all bases covered so to speak.

My back end file will reside on a server. I am aware that path names are sometimes changed by network administrators without warning.

From tests, I notice that, if the path to the back end can't be found, one cannot open the front end database file at all (Access 2003).

My question is: if my back end file gets moved, or the path changed, how can I get into my front end file to update the linked tables.

Many thanks in advance.

Mat.

Forms Are Opening In Same Window / How To Open Forms In Different Window

Oct 21, 2013

My application is developed in Access 2003 version. Recently we moved from Access 2003 to Access 2010. Now users are facing usability issues like - in Access 2003 all the forms are opening in different windows and they can move to forms easily. But in Access 2010 all the Forms are opening in same window, if they want to move to different forms then they need to close the current window or press ctrl+F6. How can I enable/open forms multiple window in Access 2010.

Form Moved Too Far Down 'page'

Nov 28, 2006

I have no idea how this happened, but...

I have a form that I use as a switchboard for a database. It automatically opens whenever I open the database and contains various buttons that allow me to import new data, run reports etc.

It has somehow moved a long, long, long, long (you get the idea!) way down the 'page' - i.e. the scrollbar to the right of access is enormously long with this form at the bottom and enything else I open at the top. This means that whenever I use the database any other forms, reports etc that I open are so far up the page that I cannot see them. The only way to reach them is to maximize everything. However, this makes it difficult/impossible if I need to, for example, see the design of two queries at the same time.

I have spent half an hour slowly moving the form up the page manually, but I don't seem to getting anywhere. Is there anyway to return this form to the top of the access page?

Stop A Form Being Moved By User

Feb 20, 2005

Is there anyway to stop the user from beng able to move a form. I.e. as in change its position on screen.

I am aware that you can do this by setting the border type to "none". However, I want my form to have a title bar along the top, so I cant use this method.

Is there another way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Ive found some information on the "movable" property, but I am using access 2000 and cant get it to work.

Modules & VBA :: Simple If Statement Moved To Macro

Jul 29, 2015

I have an open form with buttons to open other forms and use an If statement to position them an example is below.

Code:
Private Sub Command31_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Opener", acNormal
If Me.Frame54 = 1 Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 2500, 1000
ElseIf Me.Frame54 = 2 Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 25500, 1000
End If
End Sub

This works perfectly, however I need to put similar code as a line in a macro and cannot seem to link it.

Code:
Public Function totalmove()
If Forms.Scan_Data.Frame54 = 1 Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 2500, 1000
ElseIf Forms.Scan_Data.Frame54 = 2 Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 24000, 1000
End If
End Function

I get Error 438 object doesn't support this property or method...

General :: Small Application Not Working Since It Was Moved From Its Old Location?

Nov 27, 2012

I do IT support for different companies.

I have had a client moving to a new server a couple of months ago.

They have a small access application that reads csv files and exports them into Sage format that can then be imported into their accounts program - it also reports the total invoiced (whatever is inside the data CSV file) and has a printer friendly report with all the invoices inside said data CSV file.

The issue I have is that since the little app was moved to the new server - it stopped working.

I think somewhere in the code / options there is place to state the working path for the app. I think the app is trying to read the input data file from the old shared folder and thus not working anymore.

I can post the code and a sample CSV file. Specially because I did find a place with the old path and changed it to the new file share and it still didn't work.

Forms :: Set Where In The Window A New Form Will Appear

Apr 2, 2014

I have a pop-up form that is coded through VBA to open on certain button clicks. I would like this form to always open in the top-left corner of the window. For the life of me, I can't find anyway to specific in access where the form should open when called...

Is there a way to specify this? Or does access simply determine that itself? (arbitrarily it seems...)

Problem With The Window Sizes On Forms?

Mar 31, 2005

After much work and help from a lot of competent ppl on this forum i have finally been able to get my dB together. Now i have a problem though which i can't solve.
Problem is this:
I open a form, lets call it MENU. From this you open a second form called NewEmployee.
In this new form you insert new data about the employee(s) and then insert them in the dB.
So far so good, but when you do a print about the employee, the procedure is this:
A special form is opened (PrintOutForm), its fields are filled with data from the NewEmployee, it is printed and then closed.
Problem with this is that the MENU form is now not-maximized :) Which it was when you opened the dB.

Is this something any of you guys have encountered before?

Forms :: Button Opening In New Window?

Apr 30, 2014

I am using Access 2010 and creating a front-end for a customer database.

Take a look at the screen capture I added to this post.

What I want to happen is on that "Supplier" button. When I click on it, it opens a new window with the "Supplier" form and on the specific supplier for this product. There is an attached image of what that macro looks like.

The problem I am having is that I do not want the Supplier form to open in a new window, I want it to open within the Navigation Form, replacing the what is currently on the screen.

Forms :: Opening Image In Form And Pop Up In Window?

Jun 7, 2013

I am working on a form as a user interface. I have added an picture to the form and it will change, according to the selection in the combobox. It looks small, and not clear because of the size, and each image has different sizes. I would like to know if there is a a way that will allow me to click on it, and then it will open in another window so it is bigger with the right sizes. I was thinking that it could be something in the on click event.

Forms :: Display Some Information From Query In Pop Up Window

Jun 18, 2015

I've created a query called "JobHistoryQuery" and a form called "JobHistoryMultiForm", this displays all Jobs related to an Asset and all the information about that job. There are some fields (BilledMonth, BilledYear, BilledValue, Parts Required, PartsUsed), however, that I would only like to see if I need to see them (as there is quite a lot of information on the form and ideally, I'd like to be able to see the key information from each job from that asset with ease). What I would like is to create a button that says "Billing" and "Parts" for each job and it brings up a pop up window displaying that information.

General :: Access 2010 Split Database Hyperlinks Not Working / When Copy Of Front End Moved

Jul 14, 2014

I have built an Access 2010 split database on my computer and it functions as built. My next step was to copy it to the server at work and test it. I discovered the tables had to be re-linked and so did that. As I have read in the Access World Forums in order to function as a multi-user database a copy of the front end must be placed on the individual workstation with the back end residing on the server, however the hyperlinks in the back end will not function when the copy on the workstation is run. I simply get an unable to open "filename" error pop-up. I can run the server copy and everything functions as built. I know that the hyperlinks require all the files to be in the same folder (relative vs. absolute), but if the back end contains all the hyperlinks why does the location of the front end seem to affect the operation of the back end?

Forms :: Getting Forms To Show In A Window Instead Of A Tab

Oct 11, 2013

The picture i have attached shows how i want a form to show, WITHIN its own window basically.

At the moment on my new database i am making, it will only show in tabs along the top, no matter what i try i cannot seem to get it into its own window if that makes sense.

No matter what i do when i view the form it just fills the screen regardless of the size in the design view, i am about to throw my computer out the window over something so simple!?!?

The picture attached i think i created that database is Access 2010, this new one is in 2013, and i dont know how to do this simple thing!

Forms :: Context Menus Don't Work When Access Window Is Minimized

Sep 24, 2013

I recently completed a db for a client and they have since asked that the access window be hidden for certain types of users.This I did using

Code:
ShowWindowAsync Application.hWndAccessApp(), SW_HIDE

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.

Forms :: Form Opening Inside Access Window In Background

Apr 8, 2015

I have three forms:

Form_A (main form for the application - should always be open)
Form_B (always open, but sometimes has visibility set to false)
Form_C (opens from button on Form_B)

When I press the button on Form_B, the only code behind it is DoCmd.OpenForm "Form_C". This seems to hide Form_B, and open Form_C behind Form_A (which is the main form of the application) inside of an Access window.

I would like Form_C to open in front of Form_B. I suspect that I set up the form incorrectly or something when I created it, and it is therefore opening inside an Access window.

Forms :: Set Form Property To Window In Database Set To Use Tabbed Documents

Oct 16, 2013

I'm using access 2010.

How to set a single form's property to act as it's own "overlapping window" in a database that is set to use tabbed documents. I want most windows to have the tabbed layout but there are a few that I would like to have pop out and be their own windows.

I noticed that the Northwind database did this somehow. if you click on one of the products from the home screen a form pops up in its own window. I tried reverse engineering it, but no luck so far.
