Forms :: Set Form Property To Window In Database Set To Use Tabbed Documents
Oct 16, 2013I'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.

Hide Database Window
Feb 23, 2007I am looking to minimize the access window when my database is opened. I already set it to do that from the startup menu, but all that did was open my specified form on open. I want it to actually only show my form w/ acces on the startup tray. Any suggestions?

Jan 31, 2013I am using Access 2010 and trying to hide the background access window, so that only my forms are visible to the end users.
After researching, I found these VBA codes, but I always get an error. I have changed all my forms & reports to Pop-up and Modal. This is the code that I use on OnLoad of the Main (first form):
Private Sub Form_Load()
Const SW_HIDE = 0
Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
Const SW_SHOWMINIMIZED = 2
Const SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3
[Code] ....
When I open my the database- the mian window is still there and I get an error
"The espression On Load you entered as the even property setting produced the following error: Only comments may appear after End Sub, End Function or End Property.
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Even Procedure].
*There may have been an error evaluating the function, event or macro.
Do I have to change any thing in File-> Options?
Hide Access Window Task Bar And Reports
Nov 15, 2005All,
I've been using Dev Avish's excellent code shown within the sample database section to hide access windows. I've taken his call fsetAccessWindow function and set it to 1 or normal in two separate databases. Both databases seem to work slightly differently. The idea is that opening the database produces one Visible instance of access on the taskbar which is the purple standard graphic (Access 2000 / Windows 2000). With the first database I have set up reports through the active x control as required when using dev's code and even when I hit the report button the user is only aware of one visible instance of access as the purple colour graphic.
I am trying to implement the same code in a second database and have copied the code from the previous database into this database. It works great for the forms however there is a slight glitch when report forms are accessed. Rather than remaining with the purple access part on the task bar the task bar section is split into two between the form and the report. In the previous database users would not notice that the report had been opened at all. (although technically it was still running in the backrground)
I have checked most of the properties between the two database forms and they would appear to be the same..
Has anyone got any ideas why the taskbar is behaving differently between these two databases there must be some difference between my set up but as yet cannot find it??
Thanks Mark
Hide/Unhide Database Window With VBA Code
Oct 6, 2006Hello,
I woul like to programatically (with VBA code) hide and unhide the database window.
In Access 97, this can be done with Tools > Startup > Display database window box (check/uncheck).
But I would like my program does that himself : when the user launches the application, the database window should be hidden and when he leaves, the database window should be shown again.
Thanks.

Automated Access Launch Causing Access Window To Fail To Hide
Jul 10, 2006Hi,
I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my
main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind
forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file
to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use
the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level
to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS
knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation,
but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to
have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this
impliemented? Here is the article:

Forms Are Opening In Same Window / How To Open Forms In Different Window
Oct 21, 2013My application is developed in Access 2003 version. Recently we moved from Access 2003 to Access 2010.

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.

Using Column Property In SQL
Oct 23, 2007Hi all
I have searched through this forum and on google, and I know that I can refer to a combobox's column property IN VBA by

When I do this in SQL, it complains that there is an "unidentified function" (column). What am I doing wrong?

Property Value Is Too Large
Nov 14, 2005I guess I have too many columns in my database and I'm getting the error message "Property value is too large" when trying to open the database table. When I was using Access 2000, I was still able to open the database but using Access 2003, the database will not open. Is there a way around this so I can open the table to fix it?
View 14 Replies View RelatedOnLoad Property
Mar 3, 2006What I'd like to do is for my combo boxes to say something like "Select One" when the form is first loaded, until the user opens the box and selects something. My combo boxes work fine now, but they are currently empty when the form loads.
From my google research it appeared that the OnLoad property would probably help me do what I want, but I can't seem to find this property anywhere in Access. It's not anywhere in the property window and the help search doesn't return any results.
I'm using Access 2003 from MS Office Professional Edition 2003.
Am I missing an upgrade or does my version not have this property, or am I just missing it?
Selected Property
Jan 12, 2005Hi all
I have a lstbox on a bound form. the lstbox is based on a query. I want the first item in the box to be selected. This is what ive used:
Private Sub roll_class_select_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.Requery "lststudents"
Me.lststudents.Selected(0) = True
End Sub
But then the form gets stuck. None of the other controls will work. The first list item is selected but it then wants to be the centre of attention and everything else can bugger off.
Any ideas as to how I can fix it??
