hi all,
this morning i installed the ms access 2000 runtime and then i uninstalled it.
After that i had some problems and there was no other choice than uninstall and install the office 97.
Now for some reason the access 97 works BUT the mdb files have a notepad icon instead the access 97 icon.
however, if i see the icon's properties under OPEN WITH the icon is the correct one.
Hi, I have installed Access Developer Extensions and Access Runtime but still I can not see the "developer" option in menu. Can someone please help me to find this option.
how 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.
I am using the attachment field in my form in Access 2010. I downloaded a picture (a picture of paper clip) from the web to use it as the display image for the attachment field. When using the form, the paper clip picture is displayed so long as there is no attachment. When a file is attached, the display image changes to the type of file (in my case pdf). However, I want Access to display the paper clip icon.
I have migrated an A2003 application to A2013 and in one of the A2013 forms I get a calendar icon appear all ove the place.
I uploaded a short video at

When the form opens (shows dentist appointments by chair) the icon appears that the very top in Chair 1. I can add a patient, no problem.
When I click on an appointment in Chair 2, the icon appears in the last clicked appointment on Chair 1. When I then click on Chair 1 the icon appears on the last clicked appointment on Chair 2.There is no problem with the A2003 version. I DO NOT use the Calendar icon in my application or any third party software.
I am using a MS access mdb file to display some record from oracle database using odbc connection.I have a table (linked table) called map_detail in mdb as well as oracle with same table structure.I formed one query in mdb (sql query) select * from map_detail where batch_no="SSO15121".It is always fetching some other result, but when I am changing the query by changing the batch no "SSO15148" it is working fine. I noticed that for cases it working.
I have a procedure in Access that exports three reports to Excel, combines them in a single workbook, and then applies Excel formatting to some of the sheets. This procedure works the first time, but if I run it again it fails. In particular, I notice that things like "ActiveCell" and "Selection" will continue to refer to the previous workbook (dim xlWkb), even though I've activated the current worksheet/workbook.
Code: Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Dim xlWkb As Excel.Workbook Dim xlBwkb As Excel.Workbook
[code]....
'BillingTemp, etc. are defined earlier in the procedure. I essentially am exporting Access reports to temporary Excel files, and then opening the files and putting them in a single workbook.
Set xlBwkb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(BillingTemp) xlBwkb.Sheets(1).Copy After:=xlWkb.Sheets(1) xlBwkb.Close False Set xlBwkb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(PrismTemp) xlBwkb.Sheets(1).Copy After:=xlWkb.Sheets(2) xlBwkb.Close False
[code]....
'After combining the exported reports into one Excel workbook, I apply some formatting to some of the sheets.
Dim i As Integer Dim rng As Range Dim b As Range Dim lastRowB As Integer Dim Indication As String Dim ws As Worksheet
I have an unbound combo box that I set up in a form using the combo box wizard in Access 2010. I selected the option that says, "Find a record on my form based on the value I selected in my combo box." The problem is that the combo box will not always display the correct record. It seems to only display the first record of a group of similarly named records in a table.
Example:
Code: Last Name First Name SSN Smith Alex 123-45-6789 Smith Jane 234-56-7891 Smith Mary 345-67-8910
If I select Smith Jane, the record for Smith Alex will display. I know that this has something to do with the bound column property, but I am unsure what to do to fix the issue.
What I have tried: I tried setting the primary key as the first field, but then I could only search by the primary key, which is unrealistic for this database. Users will be searching based on last name. How do I make the combo box select whichever record I select from the drop down list?
I am opening an excel file from access and changing the formatting from "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm" to number with 15 decimal places.Then I am linking the file to the database and subsequently doing a lookup on the date time on the access form against this table.The excel file when formatted from vba in access shows the wrong number
datetime = 03/05/2013 11:26 database number = 41397.4763888889 Excel file number = 41398.4763888889 (which would equal 04/05/13 11:26)
now if I do it manually then I get 41397.4763888889 or if the macro is in excel I still get 41397.4763888889.Also I have tested the code with manually editing the excel file and this works fine.
Code: Private Sub Command288_Click() Dim s As String Dim t As Integer Dim ws As Worksheet s = LaunchCD(Me) MsgBox (s)
[code]....
also this brings up a form and then I select the field required for the lookup and with the button is pressed the rest of the code runs as follows.
Code: Private Sub LoadData_Click() Dim w As String w = Forms![frmList1]![Combo0] w = "[" & w & "]" Dim dtA As String
firstly thanks to all the guys here without whose help, I would not have been able to finish my database. However, there remains one question to which I havent found a satisfactory answer. I have checked through all the threads here.
I have made an .mde for my application and I want to customize my application icon to my company icon. The DB by default shows the access icon which I would like to change.
The threads here deal with issues of changing the desktop shortcut icon or changing the icon for forms. These threads do not address the problem I am facing.
I want the icon to be changed from access icon to a customized icon. I am using MS access 97. Any help will be greatly appreciated. If there is a thread which I may have overlooked, plz point me out. Thanks in advance FXP.
Hi, this is my first message on this forum ;)! I have a little problem with my Access 2000 (with 2003 too on another compuer), in fact when I put an icon on a page of my Tab Control, the background of that icon is white and not transparent (the file I use is an "ico" file and so it HAS a transparent background, anyway I treid all the possible file types); the strange thing is that when I put an icon on a button, the icon is shown properly. Here is an image of my problem:
I'm working on a user's database that needs some cleaning up; however, when I go into the "View" menu, the option to use the Toolbar is greyed out and I therefore can't utilize the Toolbar.
What do I have to do in order to have use of the Toolbar?
when a toggle button object is selected on a form, it becomes ghosted. What property is changed? I want to reset all the other toggle button images when a new one is selected.
I trying to find out if it is possible to have a systray icon load when you start a access database or form? This way I could do pop up messages and icon changes thru out running access. Any advice, links, or imput would be great. Thanks !
I have an Access database split into FE/BE. For the front end, each user has his own directory on the lan. The directory is named with the UserName.
I've created an installation program in Access. It basically installs the icon on the user's desktop using Environ("UserName"). It also installs an Excel file the program needs on the hard drive.
Here's the problem...Right now, the installation program grabs the shortcut off the lan and installs it, but that shortcut has one user's UserName hard coded as the target. That one piece of information needs to change for each person. Is there a way for the program to modify the target based on the username of the person running the installation program? Without this piece, I need to visit every user after he runs the installation program and modify the properties of the new icon to point to his specific directory.
In an attempt to keep the aged and wise users of the DB from overlooking the "display as Icon" cbo when embedding PDF's, and thus finding them unaware of attached documents, I'm searching for a way to select this by default to eliminate the problem altogether.(leban's didn't seem to say anything helpful on the matter)
A problem I have seen a couple times has come up again... Wondering if anyone knows why this happens? This is always with a split DB.... Using "Remote Access"..... The user signs on, a shortcut to the Frontend of the application is there...... But when clicked... nothing. I personally did not load this one onto the clients server, but I believe the administrator has done this to use a bit of group security abilities. I think he has put the Frontend in their "Documents" folder and then puts a shortcut to the frontend on their remote desktop (Server)....... But time after time it loses the path to the frontend....or maybe doesn't recognize that it is an mdb file....Not sure. Anyone had this come up before??
I read some solutions to replacing a default Access icon for forms. However, I was wondering if there is a simple solutioin to removing them all together without causing an error?
I have obtained some VB code shown below which adds an icon to the windows task bar as I intend to put some additional code behind this that displays messages near the clock when something happens in the database. The problem I have is that the code does add an icon but the icon is literally blank. i.e. it makes an additional icon space but does not display any picture. The code is not actually for VBA so I need to tweak it. I am struggling with telling it which icon to display. Does anyone know how to refer to the application icon using code??
The code I am working on is: (there is also a module but I will post this if you need it.) -------------------------------
Private Sub AddTrayIcon()
Dim nid As NOTIFYICONDATA
' nid.cdSize is always Len(nid) nid.cbSize = Len(nid) ' Parent window - this is the window that will process the icon events nid.hWnd = frmSystray.hWnd ' Icon identifier nid.uID = 0 ' We want to receive messages, show the icon and have a tooltip nid.uFlags = NIF_MESSAGE Or NIF_ICON Or NIF_TIP ' The message we will receive on an icon event nid.uCallbackMessage = 1024 ' The icon to display nid.hIcon = frmSystray.Icon ' Our tooltip nid.szTip = "Always terminate the tooltip with vbNullChar" & vbNullChar
' Add the icon to the System Tray Shell_NotifyIconA NIM_ADD, nid
' Prevent further adding cmdAddIcon.Enabled = False End Sub
Private Sub cmdAddIcon_Click() AddTrayIcon End Sub
-------------------------
This is the code that is the problem. I dont think VBA has this function so I need to tell it where to find the .ico file I use for my database. Thanks folks.
I don't know if this is the right place to post this but here goes. How do you display an icon or image in a field in a subform in Access2003? I tried inserting an image into a field with its data type set to OLE Object. This doesn't work. I insert a bitmap or icon file (*.ico) into the table. When I open up the subform the field displays the word "Package" for Bitmap image". Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank you :D
or by putting its sql into a string and executing using CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strSQL
i get an error message saying too few paramters - expected one
i'm fairly used to these messages which mean that in the query is a non existent or misspelt field and i find them by running the query in the query viewer and letting access highlight the missing / misspelt field
the weird part is that when i run this query as a stored object by clicking on its icon i get no error and the query does the job it is supposed to do
does anyonw have any idea why this situation could occur?
