here is the issue:
operators are entering data but sometimes forget to put the part serial number. they then go to the entry.
this is what i want to do:
the operator will not be able to go the next screen (complete the entry) unless they enter the part serial number. where and what should i enter that will prevent the issue?
I have tried to make a login screen, I have also searched for information and tried some of the examples but, I just can't get one to work. Is there someone or somewhere where I can get information on how to build one step by step in simple easy instructions....(access 2003).
Also, how do you get access to open all the windows, tables, queries etc in full screen mode. I have expaneded them and shut it down and then reopened it but they still want to open out of full screen mode.
Thanks, everyone has been a great help in creating my first Access program.
I have this splash screen, which welcomes all the users. It has an OK command button that exits the screen, and a checkbox that says "Do not show this screen again". I still do not have the code behind the checkbox. Thus I was wondering if there is a way where I could entirelly close or "get rid" of the splash screen until the user loggs in again. Because right now there is no code behind it, so everybody that checks it and click OK, leaves the screen. But they can still open it, if they select the "splash form".
I have a database that makes use of standing orders. That means that if a client has a standing order to receive products during for example 4 time as year (quartely at the end of the month). to automate the new entry by copying an old entry in the database.
Let's say I have a client where we will have to send a product at the end of June, it will look at a field where the next send date is, and when it reaches 2 weeks for that date, to create a new entry in the database based on that entry. This way, it will pop-up in our open cases and we are aware of it and also will be visible in our report.
I am working on creating an access database for tracking physical assets linked to locations. I need to make a combo box list to show items other than the current location of the asset. Basically I need it to refer to last enery of the user and define the new possible entries. so we have a unique relationship between location and asset. The assets and location will always remain fixed and there is never going to be any addition. I am creating a web form so that it can be uploaded into sharepoint.
Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to use a splash screen in the middle of your program? Ex. Can I have a splash screeen to display at the beginning of my database and then have another splash screen open during my program. If i click on a command button to display a form, cause I have a splash screen appear before that form load? Is till possible while using Data Access Pages as well? thanks in advance
Hi, i want to add security into my database, but i dont want to use the built-in workgroup security.
Is it possible to create a login screen that will allow different access rights depending on the username? If so can sum1 please help me with the code?
How to I get the screen to show the top of the form? Solid lines and xs show what is shown on the screen.
This is used for bigger resolutions. I am modifying the layout of the forms depending on the screen resolution. Also what is the highest resolution anyone has seen an access database running at?
Auto resize and Auto Centre are both already set to no. Using access 2000. There are no scroll bars on the form.
I have a button on a form which closes the form and opens a different one. This causes the screen to "flash" as one is closed, the main menu becomes visible very briefly and then the new form opens.
In Microsoft Excel I used to use the VBA code:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
to prevent this and only allow the final state to be displayed. I've tried this with Access and it doesn't seem to work.
I have a form that has a bar down the left side of my form that is right next to the navaigation bar. It has a arrow pointing toward the form. If I click on it nothing happens. Don't know what it is and would like to get rid of it if possible.
I've had a search and can't find anything along these lines...
I've got some code which plays about with reports and it looks awful when it's running - is there an equivalent of Excel's "Application.ScreenUpdating = False" functionality in Access (2000)?
Hi, I hope someone can help! I have purchased a programme that operates using MS Access. The software loads and functions perfectly on my desktop computer, when I put it onto my laptop, it loads but when I agree to the terms and conditions a switchboard should open but all I get is a grey blank screen with only file, window and help. I did have Nortons 2005 internet suite on it but I have removed that thinking it had something to do with that, restarted my computer removed and reloaded the software and the same happens. I think there is something wrong with the settings on the laptop or some form of script blocking. I am absolutesly exasperated. Please help with any suggestions as I know that the software is functioning and I know that Access is functioning and obviously Access thinks it is displaying everything or there would be an error box. Please help!!
I have learned how to create animated command buttons within a form. This works out great, but this brought on new ideas.
Currently, all I have is a stand alone picture (our logo) that is stored in the same directory as the db and to my knowledge this has nothing to do with access at all (other then it pulling the .bmp). I would like our Logo to be animated (simple rotating) during the Intro Splash screen.
i am a new memebr so i want to say hello to everyone, anyways i have created a database in microsoft access and have created a login screen where i have created different users and given them different access rights and permission in using my database, and that all works fine when i log on to the database from where the computer i created all these rights i get a login screen where the user enters the username and pass and then that opens up the database and allows the to view parts of the database which they are allowed to however my problem is this...
it works fine on the computer i created these access using the security (user-level security wizard) feature in microsoft access but when i open the database on a different computer it doesnt bring up a user login screen, meaning it lets anyone access the database etc so what do i do??? please help
I couldnt find a search facility to see if this had been covered before, so apologies if it has been answered before.
I have created an application in Access (2002) which from the users side of things will start in a form and give them no access to the back end.
Unfortunately, it is entirely possible that different users will have their screens set at different resolutions and so the application will be unusable on some and too small on others.
I was wondering if it was possible for access to automatically resize according to the users screen resolution.
I have searched the MS Knowledge Base and help files etc, but I think it is looking less likely that it is possible. Creating 5 or 6 different versions for different screen resolutions would be a none option.
How can I make my DB dectect the users computer screen resolution and adjust my forms and reports to it?
What is hapening is that is I make the DB on 1024/168 and than the user uses 800/600 the forms and reports look huge..... Is there a way to fix this automaticaly?
I made an Access DB program in my PC. I have 17 inches monitor and so I designed everything to fit in that screen. When it was deployed in the user's computer, it did not fit in his screen as he has only 14 inches monitor. The command buttons and other things were not visible and were out of view of the screen. I changed the screen resolution but it made the fonts look much smaller. I have used 12 pt fonts in my Prg. Is it possible to correct my forms so that it automatically fits in all sizes of screen?
