Hide Access Window Task Bar And Reports

Nov 15, 2005

All,

I've been using Dev Avish's excellent code shown within the sample database section to hide access windows. I've taken his call fsetAccessWindow function and set it to 1 or normal in two separate databases. Both databases seem to work slightly differently. The idea is that opening the database produces one Visible instance of access on the taskbar which is the purple standard graphic (Access 2000 / Windows 2000). With the first database I have set up reports through the active x control as required when using dev's code and even when I hit the report button the user is only aware of one visible instance of access as the purple colour graphic.

I am trying to implement the same code in a second database and have copied the code from the previous database into this database. It works great for the forms however there is a slight glitch when report forms are accessed. Rather than remaining with the purple access part on the task bar the task bar section is split into two between the form and the report. In the previous database users would not notice that the report had been opened at all. (although technically it was still running in the backrground)

I have checked most of the properties between the two database forms and they would appear to be the same..

Has anyone got any ideas why the taskbar is behaving differently between these two databases there must be some difference between my set up but as yet cannot find it??

Thanks Mark

Hide Access Background Window

Jan 31, 2013

I am using Access 2010 and trying to hide the background access window, so that only my forms are visible to the end users.

After researching, I found these VBA codes, but I always get an error. I have changed all my forms & reports to Pop-up and Modal. This is the code that I use on OnLoad of the Main (first form):

Private Sub Form_Load()
Const SW_HIDE = 0
Const SW_SHOWNORMAL = 1
Const SW_SHOWMINIMIZED = 2
Const SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED = 3

[Code] ....

When I open my the database- the mian window is still there and I get an error

"The espression On Load you entered as the even property setting produced the following error: Only comments may appear after End Sub, End Function or End Property.

*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function, or [Even Procedure].
*There may have been an error evaluating the function, event or macro.

Do I have to change any thing in File-> Options?

Automated Access Launch Causing Access Window To Fail To Hide

Jul 10, 2006

Hi,
I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my
main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind
forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file
to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use
the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level
to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS
knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation,
but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to
have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this
impliemented? Here is the article:

Thanks!

How To Hide Form From Windows Task Panel?

Nov 7, 2006

Hi guys,

I have moved all my small databases into 1 larger database to save up on Taskbar space, but the problem is that when I use an opening form to open other forms (switchboard style) the additional forms show in the Task bar.

Is there some sort of macro that I can use to tell each form to suppress itself from the Task bar?

Reports :: Possible To Open A Report With Access Main Window Hidden?

Jul 18, 2014

I'm working on a database that produces employee contracts. To make it look as professional as possible I hide the Access main window when the splash screen loads using the ShowWindow function. The various forms to check and enter details all pop up without any problem, but when I get to the last stage where I use a report to produce the contract and then open it in PrintPreview mode, it won't display (unless I show the main window again , which looks very untidy!). Is it actually possible to display a report with the main Access window hidden?

Cannot Hide DB Window With Custom Icon

In Access, Tools->Start... I uncheck the "Show Database Window" checkbox to hide the database window when the database opens.

When I enter an icon to be used for the program, the hide DB window utility cease to work on Windows 2000, but not on Windows XP, e.g. the DB window is shown when opening the database on a Window 2000 system.

Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Hide/Unhide Database Window With VBA Code

Oct 6, 2006

Hello,

I woul like to programatically (with VBA code) hide and unhide the database window.

In Access 97, this can be done with Tools > Startup > Display database window box (check/uncheck).

But I would like my program does that himself : when the user launches the application, the database window should be hidden and when he leaves, the database window should be shown again.

Thanks.

Windows Task Scheduler, Access Is Left Running

Jan 25, 2008

Hi,
WHen I used Windows task scheduler to start my application, and then close the application normally, the application closes but Access is left running, still visible in the task bar. The only way I can get it to close is by using task manager to kill it. I found an old KB article ( # 246953) that hints that this (or something like it) is a known bug in Access 2000 but supposedly was resolved by an Office 2000 service pack 2. But I am already running Windows XP, SP2. Anyone else having this problem? Any workarounds?

Access Linking A Job Number To Multiple Task Numbers

Dec 2, 2014

I have done multiple tutorials to get the fundamentals behind me, but seem to have a few issues on the best ways of setting out what I have in mind.So the set out I have used is creating a table called tblProjects - this will be the area where all new projects are added as they come in including details such as a ProjectID ProjectNumber ProjectDescrition Client Name etc. For costing purposes we also have task numbers that need to sit under an individual Project Number EG.

ProjecNumber: 13001

[code]...

So the plan was to create another table called tblJobTasks..How then does one go about linking the project number to the job tasks... and following on I suppose where I want to get to with this is on a form having a drop down that selects the job number then another drop down that has a list of tasks specified to that particular job so when the girls are doing the data entry from a time sheet she only sees the list of tasks associated with the particular job selected in the first place..

Reports :: Hide Graph If There Is No Data

Sep 11, 2014

I have a report that contains 5 graphs, one for each day of the week. I run this report daily. When I run the report on a Monday, only the Monday graph displays data and the other graphs are blank as there is no data for that day just yet. Is it possible to hide these graphs if there is no data? I did find one suggestion to create a text box with the following code

Code:
Private Sub Report()
If [SumOfWed] = 0 Then
Me.Graph24.Visible = False
Else
Me.Graph24.Visible = True
End If

This does't work for me.Graph24 is the name of Wednesdays graph and the row source for the graph is TRANSFORM Sum([Wed]) AS [SumOfWed] SELECT [Machine] FROM [qryShiftDays] GROUP BY [Machine] PIVOT [Shift];

Reports :: Remove Restore Window Icon On Report Menu Bar

May 2, 2013

I have created a custom menu used on my reports which contains all the icons I need and anchored them to the right side of the report. I have been able to remove the min, max and the close icons from the default report menu bar at the top right hand side as well as the "Ask A Question" dropdown. But I am not able to remove the "Restore window" button that comes with the report print preview.

How do I remove the "Restore Window" icon from the report's menu bar?

I'm using Access 2003...
