Remove The Design Window ?

Aug 30, 2006

Is there a way to remove the design window from your project ?

I have made a program but, the problem I am having is that when
I run it and say the query results show up I close that window and
then the design window shows up. I need the close button on the
other windows but I need to block out the design window when I
use the program.
I also know about the start box where you can uncheck items and
they are removed. Am I missing something ?

thx

Reports :: Remove Restore Window Icon On Report Menu Bar

May 2, 2013

I have created a custom menu used on my reports which contains all the icons I need and anchored them to the right side of the report. I have been able to remove the min, max and the close icons from the default report menu bar at the top right hand side as well as the "Ask A Question" dropdown. But I am not able to remove the "Restore window" button that comes with the report print preview.

How do I remove the "Restore Window" icon from the report's menu bar?

I'm using Access 2003...

Remove Duplicate Entries In Query Design

Oct 27, 2013

I am attempting to filter the data in query design such that it will not return anyone in the database has there name present more than one time.

For example, in the image below under the Owner_Name field there is "Abbot, Mark C Etux Wanda C". This name appears twice in the database. My criteria is the name can only appear once, therefore this record would not be returned after the query. In query design I would like it to return only name records that appear once in the entire database if there is a way to structure that.

Feb 15, 2005

Hi,

I have a parent window which upon clicking on a button will pop-up a child window containing a listbox. The listbox recordsource is a subset of the parent window. I want the user to select a record from the listbox which will load the selected record onto the parent window.

From parent window to child window, I used
docmd.openform ,,,,,,[argument] and me.openargs in the child window

Queries :: Crosstab Design Is Slow When Opening And Saving In Design Mode?

Oct 6, 2014

I have had to use my first crosstab queries.

I now understand that when opening and saving crosstab queries Access (2010) runs that query to ascertain the column names. Unless you hard-code them. Running the query takes at least 20 minutes.
I have hard-coded where I can, but one report takes arbitrary dates so I can't hard-code them.

I believe that turning off AutoCorrect might make a difference to whether the query runs - but I don't want to turn it off.

Forms Are Opening In Same Window / How To Open Forms In Different Window

Oct 21, 2013

My application is developed in Access 2003 version. Recently we moved from Access 2003 to Access 2010. Now users are facing usability issues like - in Access 2003 all the forms are opening in different windows and they can move to forms easily. 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.

DATASHEET --- Allow Design Changes: Design View Only DOES NOT WORK

May 18, 2007

I have a sub form in DataSheet view and I would like to lock the design so that the User should not change the layout

Even when I set the property of the Datasheet �Allow Design Changes: Design View Only� users are able to unhide the hidden columns and they can also change the size of the column by dragging the column end line

Does any one know how to lock the design of datasheet ( I am using this sub form datasheet for data entry but do not want users to change the layout)

Thanks

Good Design? Bad Design? Problems..

May 5, 2005

I'm going to make up names and values -- I'm interested in the structure.

Table ALPHA:

COLA DAT1 DAT2 DAT3
1 5 7 9
2 4 14 8

Table BETA:

COLA_IND DAT1 DAT2 DATN
1 a b c

Table CHARLIE:

COLA_IND DAT1 DAT2
2 d e

Table DELTA:

COLA_IND DAT1 DAT2
2 f g

Ok, the idea here is that the data in table ALPHA contains data with COLA a key such that selecting 2 would yield the data row "4, 14, 8."

Now, COLA_IND is a "COLA" key for table ALPHA (sorry, I can never remember which side is called the foreign key). So, from tables BETA, CHARLIE and DELTA, I can access any row in ALPHA based on the key "COLA_IND"

Here's the fun part. When I build my query, it wants to use an inner join on the keys from all these tables... In order words:

SELECT blah blah blah INNER JOIN blah ON (ALPHA.COLA=BETA.COLA_IND) AND (ALPHA.COLA=CHARLIE.COLA_IND) AND (ALPHA.COLA=DELTA.COLA_IND)

What I'm looking to do is expand BETA, CHARLIE and DELTA with the information from ALPHA based on the key COLA_IND. I don't think this is doing what I want.

Any comments?

Thanks in advance...

Query Design.DB Design Question

Sep 10, 2007

Hey,

I've got this problem and im 95% sure its going to need a query in order to achieve this answer im looking for.

I'm creating a Software Licensing Management db and its all working lovely. However my only problem remains is the graphical representation (text box within one of the forms) of howmany licenses are/aren't(doesnt matter if this number is a +/- number) available.

In order to achieve this answer I dont think you'l need the table structure of any of my tables other than these two:

tblLicenseInformation
License_ID
LicenseDescription
NumOfLicensesPurch
SoftwareOverview_ID

tblHardwareSoftwareLicense
HSL_ID
Hardware_ID
Vender_ID
Software_ID
AppEdition_ID
AppVersion_ID
SoftwareOverview_ID
License_ID

However I would like to add a column to either of these tables named 'Availability' or something similar which will show the licenses available.

I've tried a number of Update/Append queries but all have failed. I want this Available running variable held within the table due to it not changing to much of the current db design as i baisically finished the project and they asked for it! any ideas of how to efficiently achieve this will be much appreciated!

cheers

Design View Keyboard Shortcut - Expand Columns In Design View Of A Query

Jun 5, 2014

I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.

What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.

The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.

(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column
(2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need
(3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading

Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!

Pop Up Window With F12 Key

Jul 20, 2007

For my Access DB, I have unselected the relevant options in Tools � Statup to hide the Objects window so that inexperienced users don�t corrupt the design of the forms, reports etc. However, I find that hitting F12 key brings a pop up window �Save Form (name of the form open appears here) To: ��.(blank text box). As ��(form or data access page options here)� with OK and Cancel buttons. Hitting OK saves the form as it is and typing something after �To� saves the form in that name. Though it doesn�t corrupt the DB in any way, I find this pop up window an irritant. Is there a way to stop this?

Database Window

Mar 13, 2007

I've imported somebody's access db which hides the database window by default. When I click the db window button in the toolbar, the db window pops up high up and is somewhat hidden by the toolbar. I can't pull it back down as the top is hidden and when I try to move the toolbar,the db window simple moves up so I can't grab it and move it. Any suggestions?

Database Window?

Apr 14, 2008

This may seem silly and I've seen no mention of it in this forum yet but the "Database Window" from previous versions of Access is now called the "Object Browser"? I had code to hide the database window on startup but can't seem to find a way to hide the object browser on startup. Any ideas? Also, is there another way to view my objects in ACC07 because this way is slowing me down tremendously! It's much more difficult to find the objects I'm trying to work on and visually see where I left off. Any help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

After Displaying A Window...

Jul 6, 2005

Hello all you experts and thanks in advance for your help.

I want to issue a message box after a window (a form) is displayed. I have attached it (in VBA code) to the onOpen event but the message displays before the window is displayed. So I tried, OnCurrent, then onLoad, but in each case the event triggers the message box before the window is displayed.

Is there an event which triggers AFTER the display of the window. Note that I don't want the message box displayed several times so onGotFocus is out.

Many thanks in advance,

Phillip

Running Mdb From Command Window

Dec 13, 2005

Hello - Here's my problem:

I've created a mdb that i'm trying to run from a command window. When I type "vemacro.mdb" at the command prompt the mdb runs fine. But - after it runs I get a popup error window that says "cannot find the file "f:vevemacro.mdb" (or one of its compenents)." But - it DID find it and ran it just fine.

I'm running ms access 2003 and windows 2000.

Can anyone tell me what is causing this to happen??

Thanks!
