hello everyone,
I have a database that has only two tables and one form. There is about 100 people that will be using this system(not all at the same time), and I want to hide everything from them except the form, including the microsoft access window behind the form. if i just make the access window small and put it behind the form, that looks alright, but i don't want to have to go to everyone's computers and do that! i've already hidden everything else, i just can't figure out how to make it seem like it's a stand-alone application. Any ideas???
Thanks very much in advance

how to hide the the 'Details' section in my form when viewing it in Split Form. I tried to use
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load() Me.Detail.Visible = False End Sub
but that just makes the Details section look blank, as oppose to not having it there at all.
have only the Form Header and Datasheet visible in the Form View of my form. Similar to the 'Contact List' form in the Contacts Template that comes with Access.
I have one main form with 3 tabulated sub forms. My main form consists of two fields. When the user clicks tab 2 (subform 2) or tab 3 (subform 3) the main fields should hide
I tried to achieve this by using the on click event at the tabbed forms. I referenced the two main fields and used the visible property followed by a form requery. It didn't work.

What I need to do is, not have a form pop up when all the conditions are met. I have 30 some users that log into the db.
I have a form that pops up when the date of the project is past due. to certain users when they log in. I am using the Environ("username") theory, which works very well. But when the user has COMPLETED all the necessary dates, the form still comes up, (but of course it’s blank).
How do you hide the canned record scrolling keys on the bottom of a Form? I have placed my own controls and do not need them to confuse the Operator, or cause problems.
I've got Form with some drawings on it and I'd like it change depending on what the user has entered in certain fields on the same form. For Example: when the user selects a certain type of item in the "Item1" field, I'd like the graphic to change (or another one appear) in the form. Basically an "If this is true, show this picture" type thing. I've been trying a few things to make this happen, but to no avail... :( Any incite anyone could give would be most appreciated.
Hi All. What I would like to do, is have a form popup when the main form is opened in my db, which will detail all the changes I have made to it since the last version (this bit is OK) and also, I would like a checkbox on the popup form, that the user can tick once they have read the details so it will not show up everytime they open the main form. (Just like the "hidestartupform" property within the Northwind Database)
I create the form and all that, but do not know how to do the checkbox so once it is checked, the form will not appear.
Hope this makes sense and someone can enlighten me and point me in the right direction?
I do not like the look of combo boxes on continuous forms. I think that they really take away from an aesthetic I am trying to create. However, I really like their functionality.
What I would like to do is have a text box for the field when the control does not have focus, but switch it to a combobox when it does. Now, this is pretty easy to do - however, it ends up switching all of the text boxes on the continuous form to a combo box and back. I only want to switch the currently selected record.
Does anyone know if this is possible, or have any ideas as to how to accomplish this?
I want to develop an Ms Access Main Form, which will be able to :
Move automatically to the Left of the Database Window On Mouse over to be able to show with animation (done that) When Mouse pointer isn’t on the form to be able to hide with animation (partially done, only when the form loses focus)
Actually I want to have a form with buttons placed on the left of my desktop (hiding Ms Access Window – done that after Internet searching), which will be hidden and when I move my mouse pointer over the form to show.
Check my example. I’m waiting for your comments – suggestions
Can you have a hidden field in a form? Trying to set up an order process system where I need to take a wholesale price of an item then mark it up (behind the scenes) and display only the customer price. How can I accomplish this.
I would like to have 3 buttons on a form. When clicking Button1, Button2 and Button3 should be shown and Button1 hidden. When clicking Button3, Button2 and Button3 should be hidden and Button1 shown.
How can I do this when it is not possible to manage the object being clicked? I tried the following which did not work because of managing an object clicked is not allowed.
I am trying to hide certain fields on a form based on the value in another field (if yes or no). I used the change event to enable/disable the fields in question. however, this doesn't work. This is the code below...
Private Sub Combo314_Change() If Me.Combo314 = "Yes" Or Me.Combo314 = "No" Then Me.Reason_Label.Visible = False Me.Combo316.Enabled = False Me.Label946.Visible = False Me.Label77.Visible = False Me.care_not_qualified_date.Enabled = False
I have a small access project completed for my office, I have almost everything turned off so only the user can see the main form, but I can't figure out how to hide the ribbon bar on the top, can you do this. This is access 2010 by the way.
I have moved all my small databases into 1 larger database to save up on Taskbar space, but the problem is that when I use an opening form to open other forms (switchboard style) the additional forms show in the Task bar.
Is there some sort of macro that I can use to tell each form to suppress itself from the Task bar?
How can I get access to hide certain fields or controls on a form if a certain field has no data?
Allow me to explain further:
I have a form that displays data = frmPlantMain and a associated image = Image1 The image is stored outside of the db as a jpeg and the field in the record source table (Image1) contains a link to the image. For example: C:databasePicture1.jpg
There is also a hidden text box that contains the message "No Image available" = lbl_NoPix This would be displayed in place of the image if no image has been inserted.
I also have a seperate "insert new image" command button = cmdInsertPic
If the current record has a image then I want to have the controls Image1,lbl_NoPix & cmdInsertPic hidden. This seems fairly easy but it gets more complicated now.
If there is no image I would like these controls visable so that the user can add a new image. I would then need the record to be requiried or refreshed to reflect the fact that a new image has been added.
This is where I fall down - I do not know how to tell access to look at the field in the table (Image1) and if there is no linked or associated image then set the visable propertys of controls a,b & c on the form to true.
I hope I have explained my problem correctly and I thank you for your time in advance.
I recall using a database (created by someone else that I don't have contact with) whereby, when you open it, the user-end form opens up on your Windows desktop, but the usual MS Access window is minised/hidden.
I have a split form design. I want to hide a field which I have already set a default value for. But when I make it invisible, the default value is not being recorded.
I want to show or hide a box on a continuous form. If there is a date in the ShopOut field i want the label to show up , if not then it will not appear.
I am trying
If IsNull(Me!ShopOut) Then Me.StillinShop.Visible = True Else Me.StillinShop.Visible = False End If
however, it shows the box whether there is a date in ShopOut on not. Is it possible to do this in a continous form or do i need somekind of me.record#.ShopOut or something.
I need to hide my subform on load or open of the main form but am experiencing some weird results. I have tried putting Me.SubForm.Form.Visible = False in both the on open and the on load of the main form and it works only if the tables on which the subform have records in them. If the tables for the subforms are empty I get an error 2467 telling me that "The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist." I find this strange because from all I can find the subform loads first.
How can I hide the subform when the main form opens no matter what records exist or don't?
