Taskbar Tabs
Feb 11, 2006Is there a way to make it so when you open a database the forms, tables, etc do not appear in the taskbar and just appear in the bottem right of access.
So basically, like already but without the taskbar tabs.
Thanks

Opening Forms In Different Taskbar Tabs On XP
Dec 21, 2006Hey guys,
We are running a mdb access file that spawns different 'windows' or forms if you will. We've had a request from a staff member that they be opened in different taskbar instances in windows xp. It does in windows 2k, however.
The only way of swapping forms at the moment is to click "Window" and then the form name.
Any idea's guys?
Forms :: Show Tabs And Subforms In Tabs Only If Data Exists
May 6, 2013I'm trying to clean up a form a bit and have it only show certain subforms/graphs if the data exists. I already have columns in a combobox query to show an "X" for if certain data appears:
Now, I know I could build another query and have some system go through and identify these things, but the easiest thing would be to reference the "X" in the columns of the combobox. Is there an easy way to reference values in the other (non-primary) columns? Or can you think of an easy way to make these subforms only be visible when the data exists? Maybe have an on load event for the subform?
Windows Taskbar Hidden By Pop-up
Oct 15, 2006I have searched the forums but all I can find is code to hide the windows taskbar, when actually I want the opposite.
I have a form which I have set the following properties:
Pop-up = Yes
Modal = No
Control Box = Yes (Only while designing, will change)
Max/Min = None
I have also placed code in the On Load event namely "DoCmd.Maximize"
When the form loads, it maximises as I would like but it also covers the windows taskbar, which is something I don't think my users would like at all!!! Any idea how to get it to still maximise ( as this hides the db windows) but not hide the taskbar?
Max. Form Without Hiding Taskbar!!
Jun 18, 2004Hi,
I have a form with command buttons on it (a menu) but I want the form to be full screen without hiding the taskbar. I can get the form to fill the screen with no problems, its just a matter of having the taskbar available to multi-task!!!
Also, is it possible to have a few forms open at once with each form appearing on the taskbar
i.e. START | Microsoft Access | Form 1 | Form 2
Thanks in advance!!!

Forms :: Replace The Access Icon In Taskbar?
Nov 21, 2013how I can replace the MS Access icon in the windows 7 taskbar at the bottom of my screen with my customized one. I already added under the access options the form and report icon and was hoping that this may solve the issue. But my own icon just pops up on the title bar of the main access screen, forms and the reports.

Sep 18, 2006Hi there,
Is there a way to hide the application title bar (including the min, max and close buttons) as well as the windows taskbar when Access is running? I have seen this done before where the form fills the entire screen - ie no controls or frames are visible.
Does anyone have any suggestions????
Thanks,

Problem With Using Tabs
Apr 22, 2006Hi - Could anyone please help me.
I have got a form on which I am using tabs. For some reason, when that form is opened, it is not showing the full number of records from the table. It is only opening in Add mode. If I then start to enter multiple records the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen will show me how many records I have entered and you can use the navigation buttons to switch between them, however, if I think close the form and re-open it, it goes back to showing no records.
I have tried opening it in Add mode and in Show All mode, but neither is working.
The Cycle property is showing "all records" and the data is definately being stored in teh Source table.
Any help will be gratefully received.

Of Tabs And Checkboxes
Mar 15, 2008Let me just start off by saying, I don't have any code to post as it is just an idea I have.
This is a Lease return project for work. We have an excel sheet that is broken up into tabs. Master List, Not Returned and then a tab for every month.
Here is what I would like to do.
If someone checks the box that says the leased computer was not returned, can I grab a certain batch of fields to automatically populate another Tab in this Access 2003 Form?
The second part to this would be if a person unchecks "Not Returned" in the Not Returned Tab, can I get that record automatically removed from that list view?
Similar principle for the Monthly shipping by a certain date. If the user enters in a shipped Date by say March 1, is there any way to populate a another tab into a list view?
Thanks for any advice that you gentlemen and ladies can provide.

Adding Tabs
Sep 14, 2005i have a database that stores contractors/owners & the 4 types of city permits we will be issuing.
i have created a form w/the wizard which contains all the info that i need the users to enter, however all info will not always be necessary. i would like to create a main tab with general permit information for users to enter (this is always necessary), and then 4 other tabs for which specifics may be entered dependng on which permit we will be issuing (at least 1, but up to 4 of these will be necessary). I would like 5 tabs...1 for main info, and the other 4 for specifics. i tried doing this manually in design view but for some reason i am unable to enter any data. :confused: does anyone know of a quick way to separate the fields that already exist on the form created by the wizard onto separate tabs??? thanx in advance! :)
Tabs Going To Next Record!!!

I had controls on there at one time, but now I dont and the control names are still in the list. But my biggest problem is why its going to the next record!

Colored Tabs!
Feb 22, 2006Here's (http://www.lebans.com/tabcolors.htm) a dynamite site with an A97 dowload with code for "colored tabs" which I stumbled onto. I converted the A97 code to A2K and it ran.
Many of you will be able to put this to good use.:)
Two Rows Of Tabs
May 9, 2006I would like to create a form with a double layered tab format that has the look and feel of the MS Access Options form under Tools.
What code or technique is required to make this work? For example, how do I make sure when the user selects the front row or back row of tabs that only this form is displayed.
I hope this is clear.

Feb 7, 2006I have a tab controled form and when it opens in form view the tabs are to high to be seen on the page and you have to use the scroll bars to have access to them.

Hiding Tabs On A Tab Control
Feb 7, 2008I have on one of my forms a tab control with 5 different tabs on it. Each of the tabs has a different set of fields but all from the same table. I was wondering if it is possible to hide a tab if none of the fields on it have any data in?
So for example tabs 2 and 3 have data on them but tabs 1, 4, and 5 dont. I would want to hide tabs 1, 4 and 5.
Jumping Form Using Tabs
Mar 1, 2005I have a long form that has a tab control at the bottom of it. You have to scroll down to get to the tab section. After I scroll down, when I click on one of the tabs the form jumps up. It doesn't jump up to the beginning of the form but somewhere near the beginning. I've checked everything that I could think of but nothing helps this situation.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Thank you in advance!
Can't Print Form With Tabs
Aug 15, 2005I've been sent a form which retrieves company information divided into 4 tabbed sections. Really need to print all this off but can't even print the tab which is showing - it only prints the part of the firm outside the tabbed area (company name and number)
Would be really grateful for an idiot's guide on how to do this! Reluctant to provide a link as it's confidential information.
Tabs With Related Tables
Aug 16, 2005Hi,
I have a database with a couple of tables. All of which have a 1:1 relationship to another table, patient:
- patient (id (auto_increment), name, address, etc)
- nutrition (patient_id, some, stuff, etc)
- sleep (patient_id, foo, bar)
The patient_id in nutrition and sleep is a primary key and corresponds with the id of a patient (my 1:1 relationships)
I have a couple of forms. One for each table actually. In this form the user should be able to add/modify a patient's data. These forms are not to be used by themselves.
I have another form(the main form), which has a tab-control element on it. There are 3 tabs on this and on these tabs the 3 different forms are displayed.
Now for the problem:
- when I add a new record to the database using the main form, there is no problem when adding a new patient. Woohoo! When I switch to another tab, , however, the problems start: I can enter new information, but when I leave the tab I get an error: "Index or Primary key cannot contain a null value." Blech.
I want Access to realise that it should use the id that is given to the patient in the first tab, but it seems it cannot get it automatically. (I am not sure, but I think the problem didn't occur at first, so I think I may have done something which is causing this problem.)
Any help here is appreciated.
PS I was unable to find any posts on this forum that can help me with this. The closest I could find was: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=39933
Tabs, Moving Controls
Oct 28, 2005I have a form that is growing with too many controls, so I want to
make a tabbed form and select and drag controls onto their own
tabs to make things more organized.
BUT, as I do the copy and paste thing, it doesn't copy the command
behind the buttons?
So far it looks like I'd have to recreate each control button directly
on the tab pages themselves?
Thanks in advance,
