How Do You Undo Lost Shortcut Menus?
Jan 7, 2008
Hi everyone! Well, I goofed... I was trying to figure out how cause access to launch a switchboard I made and NOT launch the regular shortcut bars or database window. Well, fortunately the help file told me I could change that in tools...startup options...
I found it, and it worked great, except I can't get back into my regular shortcut menu features, including the startup options themselves to reverse it. I did figure out I could reclaim the database window by pushing f11, but sadly have been unable to figure out how to get to my shortcut menus and back into startup options. Anyone know how I can get back in?
Next time I'll have to make a copy before doing that...

In Tools, Startup I deselected all options but now I want to display the toolbar and menu again. I can't figure out how to undo what I've done.
Help appreciated.

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.

A problem I have seen a couple times has come up again... Wondering if anyone knows why this happens?
This is always with a split DB.... Using "Remote Access"..... The user signs on, a shortcut to the Frontend of the application is there...... But when clicked... nothing.
I personally did not load this one onto the clients server, but I believe the administrator has done this to use a bit of group security abilities. I think he has put the Frontend in their "Documents" folder and then puts a shortcut to the frontend on their remote desktop (Server)....... But time after time it loses the path to the frontend....or maybe doesn't recognize that it is an mdb file....Not sure. Anyone had this come up before??

I wanted a Switchboard page in Access to open automatically when the database was opened. I've done that but, as I did it, while in the Tools/Startup to set Display Form Page (in this case a switchboard page but it's not opening full screen and I ow have no way of editing anything), I stupidly de-selected the options there...
Display database window, Display status bar, Allow built in tool bars allow toolbar/menu changes.
Now I have lost the tools Menu, the View Menu and others (where one sees, File, View etc at the top of the window) and I can't work out how to get them out. I can no longer view my Access pages in Design View so I can't amend the any pages.
Can anyone tell me how to get my View and Tools menus back on my Access app window?? It's a bit of an emergency... been up all night and have to hand this in as coursework at uni in about 3 hours and I've screwed up right at the end and can't do the last couple of things before putting it on a CD for my tutor to mark.
Help!
I'd also like to know how to get it to open the first form at full screen.
Thanks.

I have a Memo box where the user puts comments and then I have a check box that if check automatically puts a specific phrase on the first line of the Memo box (before any other text currently in the box). What I am trying to do is have it so that if the "check box" is UN-checked it will remove the line that it just added to the Memo box. I have been able to get it to undo everything in the Memo box, but what I really need is for it to just undo the last line of text that was enterd when the user checked the box.
Example:
Memo Box:
This is the line that the checkbox just added when the checkbox is set to "True"
This is the test data the user has already put in the box...
==================
User now UN-checks the checkbox (I want the Memo box to read.. see below) Thereby deleting the line "This is the line that the checkbox just added when the checkbox is set to "True""
Memo Box:
This is the test data the user has already put in the box...
How can I accomplish this?

Hi, I have found the answer to most of my problem, thanks to previous posts.
I am using the Undo command on a Date field. However it seems that my code is maybe not staying on the event to action the undo.
After it runs the Focus goes to the next field Me.LeaveDays and the value is automatically entered, unless I comment back in the Goto's in which case the value will be zero.
I want to be able to Undo the EndDate (and preferable the StartDate, and Setfocus to StartDate) EndDate will do if not possible.
Don't want to Undo the whole form, although that could be a last resort.
My code is in the before_update event, image posted (ignore faded fields, not visible/needed in final solution)
Private Sub EndDate_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo Err_EndDate_BeforeUpdate
Dim intLeaveLeftAL As Integer
Dim intLeaveLeftSL As Integer
Dim intLeaveDays As Integer
Dim dtNullDate As Date
Dim varNullField As Variant
intLeaveLeftAL = Nz(Forms!frmAddLeaveRecords.fsubLeaveAgTots.Form![DailyALInc] - (Forms!frmAddLeaveRecords.fsubLeaveAgTots.Form![ALDays] - Forms!frmAddLeaveRecords.fsubLeaveAgTots.Form![ACDays]), 0)
intLeaveLeftSL = Nz(10 - Forms!frmAddLeaveRecords.fsubLeaveAgTots.Form![SLDays], 0)
' Use the WorkingDays function to calc the number of Leave Days
' set LeaveDays and requery the form
intLeaveDays = WorkingDays(Me.StartDate, Me.EndDate)
If Me.LCode = "LC41" Then ' Sick Leave
Select Case intLeaveDays
Case Is > intLeaveLeftSL
MsgBox "Employee does not have enough Leave" & vbCrLf & "to take as Sick Leave.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Entry in Error"
varErrorCondition = True
Me.EndDate.Undo
GoTo Exit_EndDate_BeforeUpdate
Case Else:
End Select
ElseIf Me.LCode = "LC11" Or Me.LCode = "LC13c" Then ' Annual or C/Fwd Leave
Select Case intLeaveDays
Case Is > intLeaveLeftAL
MsgBox "Employee does not have enough Leave" & vbCrLf & "to take as Annual Leave.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Entry in Error"
varErrorCondition = True
Me.EndDate.Undo
GoTo Exit_EndDate_BeforeUpdate
Case Else:
End Select
End If
Me.LeaveDays = intLeaveDays
Me.LeaveDays.Requery
varErrorCondition = False
Exit_EndDate_BeforeUpdate:
Exit Sub
Err_EndDate_BeforeUpdate:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume Exit_EndDate_BeforeUpdate
End Sub
The ifs and cases work fine, just like to send the User back a few steps
appreciated :) :)

Hi All,
Is there a way that I can make a button which will undo all the changes being made on a form (on multiple records). I have a continious form with a checkbox after each record and want to restore the 'old values' if necessary.
Thanks.
I know it's possible by record, but the tricky part is to do this on multiple records.

We have an mdb back end on our server with read / write permissions for several approved users. One of them (don't know who yet) has converted the mdb file from 1997 to 2000. Is there a way to undo this? :o (a few have both versions on their machines which is why this was possible to begin to with)
We have had this set up for almost four years now, with no issues might I add but always knew in the back of my mind something like this would happen.
Thanks

I would like to be able to check to see if undo is available.
ie. i have a button thats called 'Cancel' When clicked it undo's changed and then closes the form, but if there are aren't any changes to undo it flags up an error saying not available.
I would still like it to close the form even if there are no changes to undo.
So check to see if the undo is available then undo and close if not then just close the form.

Hello All,
I am finding this one difficult so felt I should post my issue.
I have status field on my form. It is a bound field.
A combobox - inactive, active.
I wanted the field to do the following when changed
If change then msgbox = Please enter reason in activity notes
a vbYesCancel
If they select it calls the activity notes form - this portion works.
If they select cancel I tried making the field do
form.field.undo (Me.statusid.undo) - something similar
Cancel = True
to reset the field to the original state.
This fails and says my object is not valid
I would be happy to take any suggestions . As always thanks in advance.

Hello,
I use a listbox and a command button on a form as criteria to open another form.
The click event of my cmdbutton has the following code that runs after selecting a record in the listbox:
If IsNull(Me![NAME]) Then
MsgBox "Sorry! No record selected"
Exit Sub
End If
DoCmd.OpenForm ("myform")
I have now created a menu bar and would now like to remove the command button and place it somewhere that can run when I select the menu to open a specific form.
Basically I need that when I select a menu from my menu bar, the code should verify is a record in the listbox has been selected.
If yes, then it will open that form, if not it should run the undo command and not open the form but bring me back to the form on which is placed my listbox (frmEforms).
Any help? Thanks.

I have a form with an undo button which works fine...sometimes.
The issue is if the user hasn't clicked out of the text box they have updated before clicking the undo changes button only the changes they have made to that text box are un-done.
My question is when the user clicks the undo chnages button how do I code it so the changes to the whole form are undone even if they haven't clicked out of the last text box they updated.

I have a form that has multiple text boxes. Was trying to add an Undo button that behaves exactly the same as the (Ctrl+Z) or the undo button used in microsoft access, word, excel ..etc. as it only undos one action in a click. When added the undo button i used just a normal button and added a code to it. if i type in different text boxes and press on the undo button it undos everything modified since the form was opened. Is there a way to change that ?

Hi, i am stumped.
I have two tables Tbl_Referrals and Tbl_CMSData. Both of these tables have an identifier in called ConflictID. I have created a query which selects the records from both tables where the conflict ID is the same.
I have a form running this query. Down one side of the form i have all the details from Tbl_CMSData and on the otherside of the Form i have the corresponding details from Tbl_Referrals. I need the user to be able to update field by field from Tbl_CMSData to TblReferrals. This is done by means of a simple update query for each field. This all works fine.
Problem - I need an undo button for each field. Me.Undo does not work becuase the changes have been made by a query and not on the form.
Is there a way of undoing what the query has updated? Possibly by setting the focus to a Tbl_Referrals and then undoing the changes?
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have a form and a linked subform which are linked by Purchase Order Number. When items have been delivered on the purchase order, the user should update the continuous subform with the number of items that have been delivered. This works fine.
The problem I have is using an exit button that does not save any of the changes to either the data in the form or the subform. It doesn't matter if there is a prompt to alert the user that there have been changes made.
I have been messing around with DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo in the on click event of my exit button which kind of works when changes has accidentally been made, but is very unsophisticated - any ideas?!
Thanks
Georgina

I have a main form (A) with a subform that is another form with a datasheet(A_SUB)
On the form A is an undo button which rewinds any changes that occur to A that I do not wish to commit. However when I make a change to A_SUB the changes are not rewound. I considered implementing an UNDO for A_SUB but this is messy. What would be a better solution?

Hi,
I have a question.
How can I make undo delete records?
When the user select all the records, and then click "delete" key. Then it will delete all records.
I want to setup that there must be at least 1 record left.
If they select all the records and delete all, then it will undo delete all records. We have to keep at least 1 record.
What command to undo delete all records?
Please let me know, thanks.

I am using unbound forms and multiple recordsets to save data into a number of tables. The save procedure is two parts: the first one saves data from a temporary table tblT to tblA. Second part takes the primary key of this new record in tblA and stores it with additional data in tblB.
In case there is an error, this procedure creates all kinds of problems. Usually the errors happen in the second part of the code and by then the data has already been saved in the tblA. On Error, the sub exits. When the user makes changes in the info and retries to save, the sub again tries to save data from the tblT to tblA, but now runs into primary key problems as the data already exists! (the reason for this is because the primary key field for tblA is filled with an autonumber generated by tblT).
Ideally, on error, the sub should delete the last record (or two or three, as the case may be) from tblA so that they can be re-stored by the sub on resumption. I cannot get either an SQL statement or a recordset to identify exactly these records to delete them. All help is highly appreciated! Also, any suggestions towards alternative methods of achieving this are most welcome!
Thanks in advance!

I was curious,
How do you add a Menu to a form? Like is there a way to have a Main Menu bar and add the individual menus/menu items with custom events? As well can i cusomize the context menu for the form, or make a popupmenu that is executed upon clickin a command button?
There is a lot of help on how to attach menus to properties and such, but I can't find an item "Menubar" in the access interface.
Thanks
