I have this filename.mdb file which was given to me for revision, so I opened it with MS access but once I opened it, the toolbars are disabled so I can't switch to form view, design view etc. How can I resolve this? I remember when I once did VBA Access that you can do this 'disable' thing. Only that I forgot it how now. So if anyone could please help me in this? I need to 'have those toolbars back' so I can start editing the file. Please do help me.
I was not sure were to post this question so i thought "General" would be a start.
I have a number of toolbars i would like to copy to a new database i am not sure if this can be done, but any help will be useful to me as i am stuck on this issue.
On my database, for startup, I had the toolbars taken away from the user. Is there a quick shortcut to pull them back up? I noticed that the 'Tools' option is gone.
i am wanting to find some way of turning off the menus and toolbars in a startup macro and is it possible to turn off the warning messages that appear when appending or deleting rows in a table. many thanks
Hello Guys, I need to know how to enable toolbars and edit a text in a report... the database is locked by previous employee and I can't get to design view so I can change a text... There isn't any tool bar up there.. just EXIT button..
My company recently completed a fairly large website for a local travel-agency. The website runs on a MsSQL and .net platform, but (It is a big but(t) by the way) a pricing calculation database is a old MS Access 2000 application.
The users of this DB have MSA2000 installed on their computers, and the database is made with one application DB and connected tables.
My problem is that I have to make some small changes to this DB, but when I start it up, the toolbars is hidden and right-clicking is disabled. (F11 works).
A previous employee of the company I work for setup an access database, which works well. But he populated some drop down lists and didn't give us the option to add additional items to those lists.
He has also done something that when the database is opened the usual access menus and toolbars disappear.
I'm pretty sure that the lists are collected from a table in that database, but I can't view the tables either :(
I have managed to get the start form into design view and also to open the code builder, but I can't see anything in there.
If anyone can offer any help or suggestions on how to access the tables when it's been locked out, I'd be grateful.
The below code will hide ALL menu bars and ALL tool bars. Ensure that you have a way to unhide the menu bars and tool bars before you hide them! You should place the hide all tool bars routine in your opening splash screen form for it only needs to be run once when the db is first opened.
This will hide all menu bars and tool bars Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count CommandBars(i).Enabled = False Next i
This will unhide all menu bars and tool bars Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count CommandBars(i).Enabled = True Next i
An added bonus is the right-click mouse button option is disabled if the menu bars are disabled with the above code.
Use the 'ShowToolbar' command if you need to display a tool bar or menu bar... DoCmd.ShowToolbar "YourToolBarNameHere", acToolbarYes
This will hide a tool bar or menu bar when needed... DoCmd.ShowToolbar "YourToolBarNameHere", acToolbarNo
This will hide the menu bar... DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Menu Bar", acToolbarNo
You can also hide/unhide the database window with code...
Hide the database window DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
Unhide the database window DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
Remove the "Type a question for help" on the default menu bar in Access 2002 or 2003 Application.CommandBars.DisableAskAQuestionDropdow n = True
This command will prevent the db from opening up a separate window tab on the Taskbar Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsinTaskbar", False
The above commands have been successfully tested with Access 97 and Access 2003.

I started access today and all my icons and menus are gone from the interface. I am forced to right click on all my queries and tables to perform any action. All I have at the top of my window is the usual "Microsoft Access" caption. Absolutely nothing else. Other than that, Access is fully functional provided I can use the right click commands. Has anyone encountered this? Help!
The problem is when the users views a report there is no toolbar for them to print the report. The user can click on file print but they would prefer to see the icons on the toolbar.
I have set the startup to not show the toolbars I have also tried just to show each one individually with no joy.
How do I show the print preview toolbar. I do not want the user to be able to design the report I only want to allow them acccess to print the report or maybe export to word.
Hello, I've read most of the General category on Toolbars and Startup Menus, but still can't figure this out. I have no VIEW or TOOLS on my toolbar, so I can't get to the startup menu, toolbars, or anything else. When I go to Customize, one option is Built-in Menus. When I try to drag the VIEW or the TOOLS to the menu bar, it won't happen. I have tried the Shift trick, but it did not work either. Can someone help me?
There aren't too many threads on this subject folks. I am looking to understand this a bit more. From what I know, complete security of a database can only be accomplished by making an MDE file. But, the downside there is that MDE's cannot be edited by anyone, so any backups or changes that need to made must be done with an MDB.So, what I want to know is, if I want complete security of a database (as in, no changes allowed to be made, except by me), my only option is to make an MDE file and then transfer all the data back and forth between that and an MDB file whenever I need to make any design changes.Am I right?Thanks!
How do I regain the full menu bar in my dbase. I had unclicked "Allow Full Menus" and "Allow Default Shortcut Menus" and now I need to regain those features.

I have created a log in form in my database and users will enter their name using a combo. Is there a way I can force them to use the mouse and select their name and not type in the data? Basically something that will disables all keys from the keyboard? Thanks.
The # character in a hyperlink is used to separate hyperlink parts. Here is a case when I do NOT want this character to do the separation: a network file where the # character is part of the filename: k:datasomeFile#ref02.doc.
How can I put this URL into a hyperlink field in a table and NOT have Access treat it like this: Address: k:datasomeFile Subaddress: ref02.doc which then of course results in the usual "Unable to open..." error.
(I tried replacing the # with %023 but when Access seems to convert it automatically to #).
I'm creating an Access form and there are three sections to the form of which the user should only fill out one. So, they are controlled by a radio group and the desired action is as follows:
There is a default choice (by far, the most common) and it will be selected when the form is opened. When the user selects one of the radio options, the section controlled by that radio option will become enabled and the other two sections will become disabled/locked.
So I found that each box (textbox, combobox, etc) has the property enabled and locked. So I just set this accordingly depending on what is selected. The actual result is that the boxes will be grayed out and become disabled, but will never become enabled again.
Here's some abbreviated code:
Private Sub accountRequestType_AfterUpdate() If Me.accountRequestType.Value = 1 Then enableSection1 disableSection2 disableSection3 ElseIf Me.accountRequestType.Value = 2 Then disableSection1 enableSection2 disableSection3 ElseIf Me.accountRequestType.Value = 3 Then disableSection1 disableSection2 enableSection3 End If End Sub
So an example of a disable function (which seems to work) is as follows:
Sub disableSection1() Me.text123.Enabled = No Me.text123.Locked = Yes End Sub
And for an enable function (which doesn't seem to work):
Sub enableSection1() Me.text123.Enabled = Yes Me.text123.Locked = No End Sub
So I'm a bit lost here, any ideas would be great. Are there different steps I need to take in order to enable them again? Am I being clear?
How can you disabled a click event on a text box ? I don't want to use ENABLE = false because the background of the texte box comes gray. So, any alternative solution?
I have an mdb file that is being used in Access 2013. The menu appears in the Add Ins as it is supposed to and it works for the most part. For some reason, it remains visible but is not clickable/operable after I do the following code. This all works flawlessly in earlier version of Access so it must something peculiar to 2013 (no surprise there....). hat would cause the ribbon to stop working, what to do when it does, and best of all, how to prevent it from occurring in the first place?
This code is for an option box that either prints a report or creates a pdf and then sends the report as and attachment to a CDO generated email. Other than it (seemingly) turns off the menu..THe site won't allow me to post links so the code is an attached txt file
I have a 'legacy' Access DB which I need to get into.
Unfortunately there is a problem, whenever I try to open it (using MS Access 2003) there is an error (Disc/Network error 3043) and the database closes immediately.
How can you open an MS Access db with all macros/vba etc disabled, so that the code causing the error does not execute and I can find out what is going on ?
I have not been able to find any such options in the MS Access 2003 open dialog or menus.
I have a frmUserLoginScreen that opens frmMainSelectionScreen, which has 4 command buttons on it. Dependant on user level, some of the command buttons are disabled.
I have four user groups, manager, admin, IT and guest. When the guest logs on, the frmMainSelectionScreen only has one command button enabled. Once clicked, this opens frmClientDetails which has a command button that enables the user to add a record.
Basically, I want the add record command button to be disabled on the frmClientDetails if the user is a guest.
I've tried all sorts of code to reference the other forms but I'm not having any luck. Has any kind fellow got any ideas?
