Toolbars Disabled?
Feb 26, 2007hello,
I have this filename.mdb file which was given to me for revision, so I opened it with MS access but once I opened it, the toolbars are disabled so I can't switch to form view, design view etc. How can I resolve this? I remember when I once did VBA Access that you can do this 'disable' thing. Only that I forgot it how now. So if anyone could please help me in this? I need to 'have those toolbars back' so I can start editing the file. Please do help me.
Thanks in advance

Help With Accessing Toolbars And Right-clicking
Dec 5, 2006Hi all! Hope you can help me yet again!
My company recently completed a fairly large website for a local travel-agency. The website runs on a MsSQL and .net platform, but (It is a big but(t) by the way) a pricing calculation database is a old MS Access 2000 application.
The users of this DB have MSA2000 installed on their computers, and the database is made with one application DB and connected tables.
My problem is that I have to make some small changes to this DB, but when I start it up, the toolbars is hidden and right-clicking is disabled. (F11 works).
Is there a workaround this problem?
No Toolbars, Menus Or Tables
Nov 22, 2007Hi All,
A previous employee of the company I work for setup an access database, which works well. But he populated some drop down lists and didn't give us the option to add additional items to those lists.
He has also done something that when the database is opened the usual access menus and toolbars disappear.
I'm pretty sure that the lists are collected from a table in that database, but I can't view the tables either :(
I have managed to get the start form into design view and also to open the code builder, but I can't see anything in there.
If anyone can offer any help or suggestions on how to access the tables when it's been locked out, I'd be grateful.
Kind regards,
Rich
Hide All Access Toolbars And Menubars
Nov 22, 2005The below code will hide ALL menu bars and ALL tool bars. Ensure that you have a way to unhide the menu bars and tool bars before you hide them! You should place the hide all tool bars routine in your opening splash screen form for it only needs to be run once when the db is first opened.
This will hide all menu bars and tool bars
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = False
Next i
This will unhide all menu bars and tool bars
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = True
Next i
An added bonus is the right-click mouse button option is disabled if the menu bars are disabled with the above code.
Use the 'ShowToolbar' command if you need to display a tool bar or menu bar...
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "YourToolBarNameHere", acToolbarYes
This will hide a tool bar or menu bar when needed...
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "YourToolBarNameHere", acToolbarNo
This will hide the menu bar...
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Menu Bar", acToolbarNo
You can also hide/unhide the database window with code...
Hide the database window
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
Unhide the database window
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
Remove the "Type a question for help" on the default menu bar in Access 2002 or 2003
Application.CommandBars.DisableAskAQuestionDropdow n = True
This command will prevent the db from opening up a separate window tab on the Taskbar
Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsinTaskbar", False
The above commands have been successfully tested with Access 97 and Access 2003.

All Menus & Toolbars Missing In Access
Nov 14, 2006I 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!

Toolbars: View, Tools, Startup Menu
Aug 29, 2007Hello,
I've read most of the General category on Toolbars and Startup Menus, but still can't figure this out. I have no VIEW or TOOLS on my toolbar, so I can't get to the startup menu, toolbars, or anything else. When I go to Customize, one option is Built-in Menus. When I try to drag the VIEW or the TOOLS to the menu bar, it won't happen. I have tried the Shift trick, but it did not work either. Can someone help me?
Disable Design View/toolbars Vs. MDE File
Feb 16, 2008There aren't too many threads on this subject folks. I am looking to understand this a bit more. From what I know, complete security of a database can only be accomplished by making an MDE file. But, the downside there is that MDE's cannot be edited by anyone, so any backups or changes that need to made must be done with an MDB.So, what I want to know is, if I want complete security of a database (as in, no changes allowed to be made, except by me), my only option is to make an MDE file and then transfer all the data back and forth between that and an MDB file whenever I need to make any design changes.Am I right?Thanks!

Custom Toolbar
Mar 29, 2006HI all, I have recently created my own custom toolbar for my database which works fine on my computer, but when the database is transfered to another computer via a memory stick (needs to be done as it is going to be used on remote laptops away from the main network), the custom toolbar does not carry over. Instead of the custom toolbar being shown, the normal, main toolbars are reset to the default ones shown.
Is there a way of stopping the toolbars reseting when transfering the database so that my custom toolbar is the default toolbar?
Thanks for the help!
Custom Toolbar
Jul 13, 2006I have a custom toolbar in my application. However, it isn't visible at the top of the application window and when I try to make it so - via View - Toolbars - it doesn't appear on the list of available bars.
I had assumed that I had somehow deleted it, but I know it's still present somewhere, as when I try to recreate it, I get a message saying so.
How can I get the toolbar to be displayed? :confused:

Custom Relationship - Need Help!
Jul 31, 2006Hello, I am trying to set up a relatively simple relationship between numeric fields in two (already related) tables. The problem is Access doesn't really support this type of relationship... or in fact, doesn't have an interface for coding your own custom relationships (if it had one, this would be ridiculously easy).
But it doesn't. So I have to turn to you.
To explain my problem better, I'll use a visual aid.
http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9123/db1zx2.jpg
My two tables are as follows, the master is called [Raw Materials] and details is called [Raw Materials Details] (the aptly named).
I guess I should rename the [Raw Materials].[Stock] to something else (as this isn't REALLY data redundancy). But anyway, what I want to do is have the [Raw Materials].[Stock] automatically equal to Sum(Stock) FROM [Raw Materials Details].[Stock]. To rephrase, I want the Total Stock field to be automatically equal the sum of corresponding stocks.
Either way, I have no idea how to go about doing this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Help Again With Custom Query
Aug 27, 2005Hi all,
I cant make work, a query with creteria filled within controls of a form. I will be more specific to make u understand what i want to ask.
There are 2 text fields and 2 combo boxes. All of them call a report (by pressing a button) from the main table.
in the "totalquery" query i call each control this way:
select tblPeople.name,tblPeople.tel,tblPeople.age,tblPeop le.Car from tblPeople where tblPeople.Name=[forms]![frmMyform]![combo1] OR tblPeople.tel=[forms]![frmMyform]![text1field] OR tblPeople.age=[forms]![frmMyform]![text2field] OR tblPeople.Car=[forms]![frmMyform]![combo2]
GROUP BY tblPeople.name,tblPeople.tel,tblPeople.age,tblPeop le.Car;
I want to make it display (the right) results if one of the text filed/combo is filled or with data, or all together or in combinations.
i use the OR statement,but it doesnt work if I fill in two fields/combos together and etc.
Anyone? :rolleyes:
