I'm trying to disable users from right clicking, from within a combo box and selecting paste. The following code is suppose to work
Private Sub DESCREP_DESCRIPTION_GotFocus()
Application.CommandBars("Form View Control").Controls("Paste").Enabled = False
End Sub
but it doesn't work, any suggestions?
With this
Me.Application.CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("&File").Enabled = False
I can disable the Command "&File" in the Menu bar, How can i disable its menu option Like "Print Preview"
I want to disable the user from cutting/copying/pasting the value of a text box. What is the keyAscii of SHIFT as well as CTRL so on the keypress event for that textbox I can simply set it to a null.
Or is there an easier way to do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have several menus defined for Access 2010. However, only one is set with the visible property set to true.The user is able to show and bring up the other menus by right-clicking in the menu area. How can I disable this so the user may not bring up these menus? An example is shown in the picture below. I don't want to give the user access to the "CPLAccess" and "Datasheet column removed" menus, but I do want to keep them so that I can make them visible via VBA.
View 8 Replies View RelatedHello Everyone,
Before I pose my question I would first like to applaud and thank this forum for the excellent and timely help it has provided me so far. The assistance I have received to date, from you as members, and via the search facility has been extremely helpful particularly as I am new to this type of stuff…
My question is this...
I would like to disable users from selecting the 'Edit - Delete Record' facility from my main form upon its load. From searching the various forums I found a method upon which to disable the whole 'Edit' menu but not the specific 'Delete Record' function. Please accept my sincere apologies if this has already been posted but I simply cannot find it readily via a standard/refined 'search'. It might be the fact that I am phrasing the question incorrectly?? I don't want to severely restrict my users by disabling/hiding the whole menu but would rather limit them to accessing this option via a password protected command button?
What I have found so far.
Private Sub Form_Load()
CommandBars("Menu Bar").Controls("Edit").Visible = False
End Sub
Any assistance/guidance would be very much appreciated
Kind Regards – Best wishes to all of the registered site members

Hi,
For i = 1 To CommandBars.count
If (CommandBars(i).name <> "Right Click Mouse") Then
CommandBars(i).Enabled = False
End If
Next i
I tried to use this code.
However, right click mouse is disable.
How can I disable all menus except the right click mouse option?
Thanks.
I have a switchboard which gives two selections. Upon selecting a menu item, the new menu appears. If I select from this new menu, it runs as it should do. However, upon returning to this second menu, the button remembers where it was instead of being cleared to select the same item, if desired, again. How can the option box button be cleared as do the switchboard buttons?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Print button on a form, which actually prints off a report for the user.
Some of them seem to be trying File-->Print, which actually just prints the form instead of the report and no matter how many times I've told them to use the Print button, they seem incapable of remembering.
Is there a way to turn off the File-->Print option ?
Hi,
Newbie needing a shove in the right direction. My option group will be confusing for a user because it defaults to the Male selection
of the Male / Female option. In other words, as the user views the form to scroll through the records, the option button will always be at the Male selection, regardless of what was originally selected to update the table field. Is it possible to hide the option group once it has been used to input that record, or, have it display the correct selection for that particular record?
I just published an access database to sharepoint. However, after I set some user as contributor, those users can see structure of my database, and export tables to excel directly. Is there anyway that we can remove the access to "Setting"?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCreating a database for processing survey data into a report format. We receive these reports as paper copies, which are then scanned in using Remark Office OMR. This results in a table of data, which is intended to be appended to the existing table in the database using Save As --> Access 2007, selecting the database and target table, clicking save as, and then selecting 'Append' from the subsequent popup.
What I want to know is: Is it possible to disable/otherwise prevent the 'Overwrite' option in this window from being selected? Can I make the table or database in such a way that data can only be added, not edited or deleted?
I am using Access 2003 - by default there is a 'Type a question for help' drop down box on the menu bar - this is a tad annoying and looks similar to the 'New Mail' icon that displays from my mail client in approximately the same part of the screen....
Any ideas on how to remove the 'Type a question for help' drop down from the Access Tool/Menu bar?
Thank you.
On the form for the Addresses I have a Combo Box for picking a Country.
When I hit the Delete button while the cursor is in the box I get a Message saying:
'You cannot assign the Null value to a Variable that is not a Variant data type'
The box has 2 columns, CountryName (Text) and CountryID (number), the second is the bound column.
I tried to Set the Warnings off, catch the error in the After Update Event, but
nothing helps to get rid of the Error Message.
Is there a way to Disable the Delete button, while in he box?
Or is there a better solution?
Thanks.
Hello,
I have been playing around to see if it is possible to operate a combo box as a one shot operation.
I.e you make a selection from the combo box then the combo box is disabled.
Only prob is that I can't figure out how to do it.
Possibly by using a message box to see if selection is correct, if Ok clicked
then data entered and comboboc.enabled = false?
Or can this not be done.

Hi all,
This is a simple question i think, but how do i enable my drop down menu to work for a combo box. I have a search query bound to a form and the combo box bound to a field of that query. At present my query just display the first record for any search result from my query on the combo box.
Thanks in advance,
M-.
I'm trying to get a drop down menu to select a category then select a sub group based on that choice. Having two boxes is not an option. It has to be from just one box this is because the category is not important and the data to be saved is just from the sub group.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi Everyone,
I want to try to restrict the user not always changing the record, so i need a Disable combo box command. And i did try it by using "Name.Enabled = False" after user select the value from the combo box, but the program won't let me do that because of the record is on focus. So what can i do? I only have an idea of after the user select the value from cbo then jump the cursor immediately to the second column, but anybody can tell me how to do that?
Thanks alot!
Regard,

I would like to have a combo box that doesn't show the drop-down arrow when the user selects it. You say, doesn't that defeat the purpose of the combo box?
Well, look. In a form I have a datasheet (in a subform) that only displays data, so it is locked from editing. Within the datasheet is a field that contains a combo box with a row source from a linked table, and the control source of that combo box is the primary key. Essentially I'm utilizing the combo box because it is smart, and allows me to display linked data: this combo box contains two columns, and I set the first column's width to "0" so that it would only display the field I want. I didn't use a subform because, in datasheet view, subform fields are not displayed in the linear fashion I need, but instead go hide under the "+" button for each record.
So, even though everything is locked from editing, the combo box arrow still appears when the user clicks on the combo box field, and I don't want it to. It's just misleading to the user. Anyone know how to disable the arrows? Or, if you catch my drift, do you know of another simple solution?
I'm not a keen programmer in case you couldn't figure that out. If you've got any VB tips then let me know.
I have a table called students and one attribute is called Ethniticity and have a text datatype.......I'm setting up a form to add a new student.... for the Ethniticity part I set up a set of combo boxes ---- African American, White, Hispanic, Native American, Asian, Multicultural, Other: ---- beside the "other" option there's a text field where the user can type in their own answer.

I have a combo which I have set to activate successive combos when a selection is made in it.
Unfortunately if you delet what is in it i.e. to make it empty it does not deactivate the other combos. I presume this is a peculiarity with combos as once you have clicked in it it is active?
is there anyway of getting Acess to recognise you don't want to use a particular combo by removing the data manually or by selecting a 'none' option in the combo?
Does this make any sense?
I have a form called frmSearch with an option group called grpSearch ,a combobox called comboNyaba and subform called subform_CasesSearch has a checkbox called CaseClosed
The combobox filter the subform based on option group choice and value in textbox called NyID ... it works fine except that if the combobox is empty it give me error the code in main form i put it on Load and on current
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
With Me.subform_CasesSearch.Form
If Me.grpSearch.Value = 1 Then
.Filter = "NyID = " & Me.ComboNyaba
[code]....
Does anybody know how to add an option that says 'none' or 'no selection' or something to a list of combo options.
I use a query by form to produce a report. But I may close that report and it goes back to the form. If I want to re-run a new query I have to close the form and re-opne it so the combos are empty.
Is there anyway to have a 'none' option to empty the combo box?
