hi everyone i'm super new at access. i think it's neat for now.
i just made a form that people can use to insert information. we have a network drive here and it would be super cool to be able to convert the form into an Executeable file that way people can just click on the exe Icon and open up the form without having to go into access and then open the form.
please let me know
I am using MS Access to develop a DB application for one of my clients. Now I want to give it my client in a form of .exe file in which he can only use the menubar I have designed. I dont want him to see the MS Access toolbars

I am trying to make my database as secure as possible so I can sell the application I have written. Certian things are stored in a table to make the application unique to the buyer to hopefully stop free distribution.So I need to make sure that the user cannot acces the tables and make changes to them other than via the front end.I have a password protected backend but the users can still edit the contents of the table via the front end.Not sure if this is the easiest way but I am considering the following:I want to open the main form when the database is opened, and then close the whole access application when the main form is closed.Also, is there a way to change the text in the Top Bar that says Microsoft Access to something else plus change the Tab Name on the Windows Program selection bar at the bottom of the screen.Would using the Access Developer Extensions be the best answer to my problem??http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/technologyinfo/devtools/accessextensions/default.aspxHas anyone used these?

2.Is there any way (or is it possible) that can change mdb/ mde to executable file (.exe), and can be ran in Access Runtime? :confused:
Thanks
I've made a few databases in the past for an engineering test facility with some (limited) success. Recently we purchased a time sheet program that works as a stand alone program, but uses Microsoft Access to operate. Everything is table driven and there are filters and all the good stuff from Access, but it's a seperate program - I don't have to open Access to run this program. This would be great if I could make database programs that could run on their own, so to speak. Any chance one of you could point me in the right direction on how to learn to do that kind of thing? Do you need stand-alone Visual Basic or can I make the program within the limitations of Access? I have both so it doesn't really matter, but outisde of VBA within Office products, I'm a programming noob. Thanks in advance.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was asked to create an Access db with search functionality in a form and have done so, now I have come across a problem………..
The team I have created this for do not have Access installed on their pc’s and this is and archive search db that I have created so will only be using it very rarely!! As a result I wondered if there is a free viewer or anything I can do to get them to use this db that I have created without having to purchase 12 licenses for an application that will rarely be used!
Any suggestions ?
If you make your database into a executable file to package it, does the other person you are sending it to have to have or own Access to use it. I was under the impression that I could create a database, package it as its own program and give it to someone that does not have access and it would still work? If not, how would I do such a thing.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat I would like to do is create a list box that will only display the information from another form that is related to the current form.So I have a form call Equipment Catalog and that form is related to Equipment features 1 to M relationship and the Equipment Features is related to a Features form M to 1.
So what I want to do is display all the related equipment features in a listbox that is related to the current PK of that form.So if there is only one feature on one form the list box will only display that one item however is there is 6 features on another it will display all 6.I have been trying SQL and Queries but I still can't get it to work.
The user will be creating a new project that contains a bunch of releases. The releases have standard names which are stored in a table tbl_ReleaseNames It should be noted that the list of names is not static.
The user selects which of the releases pertains to their project and then based on their selections, new records would be created in tbl_RFP_Release and then a subsequent form would open where it would display each of these newly created releases where they could enter additional information. I thought of creating an unbound checkbox associated with each of the standard names, and then checking to see if the checkbox was checked and then creating the new records followed by opening up the new form.
I've built a PostgreSQL database for some ecology data and am trying to use MS Access 2010 to make a front-end for it.
I've created a form to display site data; it includes such fields as site ID, site name, county, state, landscape, etc. (There are more, but if I can get the idea down with a couple of these, I should be good to handle the rest). One can click through the form and see 14 pages of site details, which is fine because there are 14 sites.
What I want to do now is make a search form in which one can enter values for site ID, site name, county, etc, and somehow get the pages of the display form that match those values. It's not terribly important to me how that output looks - whether it's a list of matches that allows for clicking on a match and showing just one page of the display form, or whether it's a filtered subset of the display form pages that one still clicks through to view them all.
if there is code to write, where do I type it? Do I start my search form by making a form with the search fields as values, or is there some other way? How do I make those search fields into search boxes rather than display boxes?
I have 2 tables and I can create 2 forms from them but when I try to use both tables to create one form the form is blank.

Any way in which i can create a report from a form ???
During the create form from wizard process, there is a screen which gives the option of applying a style. Can this be bypassed or can a 'none' option be added.I'm new to access, so any suggestions are welcome. I think creating a form in design view will build with no syle, but how do you add fields?thanks

View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a data entry form that needs to become an invoice form.
The problem I have is that the background colour prints too, tried "print data only" option, but as it says on the tin, only the data is printed.
Ideally I want the formatting, field headings, but not the background colour.
Is the only option to remove the background colour?
Or should I create a "print" button that runs a report for the selected record?
Many thanks
daz.
