Simple Custom Ribbons??
Jun 7, 2007
OK..... After searching many sites I can't seem to find any simple way to trash the new ribbon and give my apps a toolbar or Menu I want! If it were not for the free packaging and runtime I would trash 2007 all together.... If I'm thinking correctly there is an option on the XP operating system for "Classic view" why couldn't this have been implemented into Access? How bout doing a free release of the packaging wizard for 2003???? hopefully there are some sharp folks out there that will have some ways to do this.....OK.... I'm done venting..........:rolleyes:

I have converted a 2003 database to the 2010 file format. In the 2010 database, I have created the USysRibbons table with 2 separate ribbons. One of the ribbons need to load depending on what the user chooses upon opening the database. I have a form that opens with the database and the user can either choose "Premium" or "Subsidy." I'm uncertain as to why the conversion will not replicate how the database works in 2003 but if I had to assume it would be because of the ribbons. I found a small piece of VBA that I think needs to be changed but I'm not sure to what or how. As of right now, I don't have a ribbon loading, just the form to load when the database is opened. Except I noticed that the "add-ins" opens the correct menu depending on which the user chose.
I actually went into Options--->Current Database--->Ribbon and Toolbar and selected a generic ribbon (File, which just has exit because it's the same whether the user selects Premium or Subsidy).
To clarify if needed, the user doesn't actually log in. The form that pops when the database opens has the drop down of either Premium or Subsidy. So really it goes like this:
Open database
Select Premium
Click Enter
Premium ribbon loads
OR
Open database
Select Subsidy
Click Enter
Subsidy ribbon loads
Technically, if I could have just the form pop I'd be cool with that because on the form there is an Exit Application button where the user could click and exit the database. When either the Premium or Subsidy ribbon is loaded, I already have an exit in the coding.
Public Sub openRegion(authority As String, region As String)
If (cboRegion.value = region) Or (region = "ALL") Then
'open region selected
If cboRegion.value = "PREMIUM" Then
loadPremium authority
[Code] .....

Customizing ribbons in 2007 and having a little trouble with the buttons... It seems I need the listing of the "Button idMso" and the "ImageMso"..... I think I have found the "button id" (I'll know after I try a few) but can't seem to locate a listing of the images. Anyone know? Thanks

Ok I am right now making a simple Vendor/Product database to create a line sheet for some sales folks. I have 3 tables: Vendors, Products, and an associate entity Vendors_Products to relate the two. I have a form currently that draws the Vendor Name (primary key) from the Vendor table and the Product Name from the associate entity. This allows me to create new vendors and select current product types from a drop down box. The problem is that the drop down box is too long and it is tiresome when 1 vendor has 10 product types.
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this? I thought it would be better to have option buttons and display all available products. Then you could just click all of the option buttons that apply to that Vendor and it would create the relationships...is this possible?

HI all, I have recently created my own custom toolbar for my database which works fine on my computer, but when the database is transfered to another computer via a memory stick (needs to be done as it is going to be used on remote laptops away from the main network), the custom toolbar does not carry over. Instead of the custom toolbar being shown, the normal, main toolbars are reset to the default ones shown.
Is there a way of stopping the toolbars reseting when transfering the database so that my custom toolbar is the default toolbar?
Thanks for the help!

I have a custom toolbar in my application. However, it isn't visible at the top of the application window and when I try to make it so - via View - Toolbars - it doesn't appear on the list of available bars.
I had assumed that I had somehow deleted it, but I know it's still present somewhere, as when I try to recreate it, I get a message saying so.
How can I get the toolbar to be displayed? :confused:

Hi folks:
when I create a custom toolbar on my db, would that custom toolbar be carried to other copies of my db? I'm hiding all toolbars using code and I need to display only one.
thanks

Since the introduction of 2003 when you create a custom menu you always get the 'Type in a question for help' tag and the min max close buttons. Is there any way of removing them or disabling them?
:confused:

Hello, I am trying to set up a relatively simple relationship between numeric fields in two (already related) tables. The problem is Access doesn't really support this type of relationship... or in fact, doesn't have an interface for coding your own custom relationships (if it had one, this would be ridiculously easy).
But it doesn't. So I have to turn to you.
To explain my problem better, I'll use a visual aid.
http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9123/db1zx2.jpg
My two tables are as follows, the master is called [Raw Materials] and details is called [Raw Materials Details] (the aptly named).
I guess I should rename the [Raw Materials].[Stock] to something else (as this isn't REALLY data redundancy). But anyway, what I want to do is have the [Raw Materials].[Stock] automatically equal to Sum(Stock) FROM [Raw Materials Details].[Stock]. To rephrase, I want the Total Stock field to be automatically equal the sum of corresponding stocks.
Either way, I have no idea how to go about doing this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi all,
I cant make work, a query with creteria filled within controls of a form. I will be more specific to make u understand what i want to ask.
There are 2 text fields and 2 combo boxes. All of them call a report (by pressing a button) from the main table.
in the "totalquery" query i call each control this way:
select tblPeople.name,tblPeople.tel,tblPeople.age,tblPeop le.Car from tblPeople where tblPeople.Name=[forms]![frmMyform]![combo1] OR tblPeople.tel=[forms]![frmMyform]![text1field] OR tblPeople.age=[forms]![frmMyform]![text2field] OR tblPeople.Car=[forms]![frmMyform]![combo2]
GROUP BY tblPeople.name,tblPeople.tel,tblPeople.age,tblPeop le.Car;
I want to make it display (the right) results if one of the text filed/combo is filled or with data, or all together or in combinations.
i use the OR statement,but it doesnt work if I fill in two fields/combos together and etc.
Anyone? :rolleyes:

Hello all!
Basically what I am wanting to know is how difficult is it going to be to do the following.
I want to have 8 searchable fields, first name, last name, MO, Job code, etc etc. I want to be able to type somthing in any one of these fields and then when i hit a submit button I want to to return to me all the data that corresponds to what I am looking for. I know I could just create a simple query from the query wizard but i want everything in the program to look uniform as to not throw every one off. How difficult would this be and how should I go about doing it. If you need more information let me know.

I'm just creating my first db. When I'm on a form looking at a previous record (in this case a transaction), I need to be able to make a minor change to that record (such as the date for a repeat transaction), and then save the record as a whole new record. The button commands I found in the wizards only let me save over the current recond after an edit. Anyone know the easiest way to creaet a command button that does this? Thanks for any insights.

I am in the process of developing a DB for work. The DB is used to track incident reports and lost/found property reports.
I was interested in using 2 custom autonumbers for 2 different reports within the same DB. I would like to use the format of "I" for an incident report, "F" for the found property reports. So when I start a new Incident report it would generate the following number; "I05-03-001" The "I" specifing that it is an incident report, "05" for the current year, "03" for the current month, and "001 as the next sequential number for the reports for that month.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this done? I would very much appreciate your help.

I am currently creating a new part of my database which will enable users to store data for Storage Job which we do. the form has a number of fields called "pallet ref1 / pallet ref2" etc. now when the customer phones up and gives the pallet reference number, the user will need to search these fields to find out where in the warehouse the pallets are stored. But i want to create a search that will only search fields "pallet ref1 / pallet ref2" so that it will not have to search all the feilds within each record.
ne help would b appreciated

I asked a similar question some time ago, but the answer I got didn't help out a whole lot. Maybe someone else could help me out here. I have a split db which resides on our server. This will soon be joined with MySQL so that multiple users can log on simultaneously. I have created a custom menu bar with the only buttons that I want my users to have. So far the only person that has the buttons I chose on their screen is me, everyone else has more than what I specify. Is there a way that all of my users will have the buttons that I specify? Can this be done with code? Any help would be appreciated.

Quote by Pat Hartman
>>>BTW, one somewhat undesirable thing happens when you go with replication. Access changes ALL your autonumbers to random instead of sequential. That means that from that time on, all new autonumbers will be assigned randomly to minimize the problem of conflicts between the design master and replica sets. A random autonumber can range from a very small negative number to a very large positive number. These autonumbers can no longer be used as your customer numbers or order numbers if these numbers are ever printed or given to the customer to be used for reference. A customer probably will be confused by an order number = -2. If this is going to cause you a problem, you'll need to switch to custom generated numbers. Post back for details if you need them.<<<<
I'd be interested in getting some details. Data will be entering that table through a data entry form and through appending from a second copy of the DB. I want to make the PK a random autonumber but then when the second DB is added to the Master DB have the table in the Master DB assign each record a "prettier" more usable id number. I know this is stupid but I'm not sure how to relate code to a table (there's no before update event for a table as far as I'm aware).
Thanks for any help you can give.
