I'm sure there must be a simple answer to this question but I have been unable to locate the answer.
I recently finished a database program under Access 97 and unchecked the boxes to allow menus. Now I need to fix a few mistakes and need to access my code or the menus to do this. Is there a way to get access to my code.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Is there anyway possible to restore a database to a former state?
what happens is that I updated some information unknowingly, now I get into my database, and I cant find some data, which I suppose i updated probably the last time I worked on a the table.
Any clues on how to handle this?
I have a restore from BackUp form. When the form is activated it runs this code
Code:
Private Sub Form_Activate()
Dim strRestore As String
strRestore = "C:GungogManagerBackUp"
If Len(Dir(strRestore, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MsgBox ("There are no BackUp files available"), vbOKOnly
Me.btn_Restore.Enabled = False
[code]...
It was working, but since adding the bit in red its not working. I basicly want it to look for the directory and if it dosent find it the pop up with message, but if the dir does exist then to populate the combo.
Hi
Hoping someone can help me here. I have a form which is maximised on startup which also has the min/max and close button disabled. What i'd like to do is also prevent the user from restoring the form to ie. click the restore button which then makes the form smaller as i'd like the form to permanently remain maximised.
I'm not sure if this is possible, but if not is there a way to size the form to fit the height and width of the screen as if it was maximised regardless of the screen resolution the user is using.
Any help would be appreciated.
In our forms, we have managed to export a backup of our application (to accdb file) in a specific folder.
We now are trying to make a backup restore function that restores the backup (the accdb file).
However, we have some difficulties with restoring this backup in a form (like browsing for this specific backup file).
How to make this restore function?
I was curious,
How do you add a Menu to a form? Like is there a way to have a Main Menu bar and add the individual menus/menu items with custom events? As well can i cusomize the context menu for the form, or make a popupmenu that is executed upon clickin a command button?
There is a lot of help on how to attach menus to properties and such, but I can't find an item "Menubar" in the access interface.
Thanks

I have an application that hides all the normal Access menus, so that the user can only use the buttons that I have put on the screen forms. Now however, when I open up access, I cannot get to any of the Access menus. It shows the toolbar, but not the normal FILE/EDIT...TOOLS/HELP menu.
How do I toggle this back on? Everything I have been able to find so far tells me to go to the TOOLS menu ---- I cannot get to the TOOLS menu.
Thanks. BTW, I am not really as stupid as this post makes me sound.

I did something in the start up options with this database.
Now when I open it I can't get Access to function as normal.
There is no right click, no tool barr or menu.
Any ideas?
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:
I have the following code in the on_load of all of my forms to disable all menus:Dim i As IntegerFor i = 1 To CommandBars.CountCommandBars(i).Enabled = FalseNext iThe problem is that when I open a report in preview mode I cannot close, print, etc.Two questions:1. Is the above approach the best way to disable all menus and toolbars?2. How do I add a custom toolbar (already created) to the report preview only. I've tried doing in in the properties and by me.toolbar = "custom toolbar." Neither approach works. I suspect that the code I've used to disable the menus is keeping me from adding custom menus where I want them?I should also mention that I have also turned off all of the menus, toolbars, etc. in the options/startup.Thanks for your help!

I've created 2 menus using macros and everything works perfectly.
The 2nd menu has 2 commands and I want the second command of the menu to be "activated" only if a specific form is open.Otherwise the command must be in the menu, but not enabled. I also want to put a line between these 2 commands. Is it possible? Thanks in advance
Hello everybody
Could someone please explain me how can I create a couple of menus that execute commands in my db? I would like to open certain forms or reports using menus. If it is possible pls give me an example, of 2 menus each having 2 commands. Thank you in advance
In Tools, Startup I deselected all options but now I want to display the toolbar and menu again. I can't figure out how to undo what I've done.
Help appreciated.
How do I make my own menus? Is there some kind of wizard or what? I know how to select a menu to use, but as far as making one I've never done/seen it done before.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHi All,
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.
Kind regards,
Rich
Hi all,
After searching through the "search" field, I realize lots of us are having problems with the menu's in access 2007.
After converting my 2003 DB to 2007, my menus are still there, but displayes as Add-ins instead of as the menu bar. I can't find any options to change during the conversion.
I have tried importing my Logon window with the options "menus and icons" clicked, but this didn't change anything.
If I open the DB in 2003 Format, then go to the options in Access 2007 I can choose the menubar, but if I convert to 2007, the menubar is only available as add-ins. Is there any way round this?
Appreciate any help - it is so time consuming trying to figure this out - and I seem to go round in circles, ticking options on and off... perhaps some dear soul has already found the answer!
Hi
I went into tools, startup and unchecked allow full menus. Now when I open the DB, I don't have the tools menu so I can check the allow full menus. I need to get this back so I can continue working on the DB. There must be someway to get this back/reverse it.
Access 2003
Thankyou
Garry
Hi, I have hidden all the menus and added one of my own custom menus to a DB that I was creating. That DB has been completed. Now when I open a blank DB to commence again, I have the same hidden menues and my one custom menu. Is there away in Access 2003 that I can replace the template, for example, MS Excel and Word have .dot and personal.xls. Is there an easy way to bring them all back. I checked in startup for a restore defaults, however this does not work. Any ideas. Garry

with the help of this site, i have made big advances in learning and adapting code, in building my access FE on an SQL BE.
however, i have a problem, i cant find any information on in how to resolve.
i am using menus to navigate between forms, but i cannot synchronise the critical value between the forms.
so i am on a form with critical value, say hullID
i use a menu command to open another form, but i need the form to open with the same hullID as the critical value as the previous form which is about to close.
because i can go to the new form from any form, using the menu command, i cannot directly link the critical value,
is there a way to use the critical value from the current focus form, to the new opening form
many thanks in advance
I have written a DB for work that collects information on a range of events (eg safety incidents, improvement suggestions, etc) and reports on them. I am now trying to improve the security & integrity of the data by restricting user access to menus.
I can use the start up options to turn off menus, etc but want to allow users to use the default right click menu in forms to sort & filter the forms. But I don;t want users to have access to the other default menus (eg the one containg form deisgn). Is there a way to just select this particular menu to pop up on a right click?
Because I have not been able to find an answer to this I tried designing my own toolbar containig the sort & filter commands I needed. I created a custom tool bar using the menu/customisze options and called it "tbarSortFilt".
As soon as I place it in the menu bar it goes "dim" and I cannot select the options. When I over ride the start up options ("shift" key) and then right click in teh form both the default menu come up (as expected) and the "tbarSortFilt" menu lights up -- but is not active.
I have also tried
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "tbarSortFilt", acToolbarYes
to no avail.
Clearly there is something pretty basic I am not doing. How can I use the strat up options to turn off toolbars and then show AND activate my customized toolbar?
Regards Stephen :confused:
How do I hide the built in Access menus on a DB? i.e. the file, edit, view etc.
Recall.
I have attached a screen shot of my application. I want to create menu commands instead of command buttons. How can I create menu in access 2010.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a custom menu bar that has a couple of menu lists, with a list of five custom commands that i want to run,depending on what is selected.I know you can assign a macro to each command,but is there a way to know which command has been selected.
What i want to do is to have 1 macro that will run several functions depending on what was selected, rather than 1 macro for each button
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!
