I am trying to display only my form on startup.
Tools-Startup allows you to eliminate"Database window" default menu and toolbar but I can't eliminate "Microsoft Access" window.
I don't know if there are other settings that I am not aware of or there has to be code built.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Sorry if this is a really dumb question - I have just started using Access and I couldn't find the answer to this doing a forum search.
I have made a database consisting of a table and a form. All I want to do is get the form to appear automatically when the database is opened. I am using Access 2007.
Many thanks,
Sammy

how do I get access to the default navigation buttons on a form ie back, forward, new and last buttons. I want to right some VB code that acts when the buttons are pressed. How do I do it?I don't really want to create my own buttons and do onclick events.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI setup a splashScreen in startup, and I uncheked all check boxes.
Now, as soon as I load database starup form shows, and does
not allow to do any modifications.
Is there any way i can "Undo" or drop splashScreen, and get back
to normal loading of database.
Thank you.
I've never actually had to do this before so i dont know how! Im sure its really simple.
How would i set the database to automatically open a form when the database loads up?
Hello Guys,
I have proj name m1.mdb which has forms and reports.I have 2 forms form1 ,form2.In form2 I have button that creates new database named m2_date.mdb and creates report and form1 by using property DoCmd.TransferDatabase acExport, "Microsoft Access", sFilename, acForm, "form1", "form1", StructureOnly, StoreLogin,now this form1 has to be seen first when any user doubleclicks m2_user.mdb,so my question is, is there any way i can setup startup form properties dynamically ,without using startup form manually from tool properties of toolbar.
hope to get answer..
thanks

Ok, I have a Forms_Menu that has many command buttons which control other functions of the database. What I want, is when a user opens access to have a page displaying a title, and then the Forms_Menu to open up automatically. Does anyone know how to do this???
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi guys. I am stumped with a 45 second delay when I startup my application. I get the delay on networked workstations only when another workstation is up showing the Main "switchboard" form. Each workstation has their own copy of VBA (not compiled) with networked versions having linked tables to the server's .mdb
It seems like the workstations know that the main form is up somewhere else and need to negotiate with it. All have the (Access 2000) Default open mode to Shared, Default record locking to No Locks, and Open database using record-level locking On.
:confused:
I am having a problem with my form. When it opens up, it is maximized, which is what I want. However, the vertical scroll bar on the right does not begin at the top of the form, but towards the bottom. I have to scroll up each time so that I can see the top of my form. Is there a way to make the form startup at the top of the form?

I have a db that I want to password, so that anyone pressing either F11 or holding shift down at the start, will be prompted with a password.
.....But, I want the user to be able to see the start-up form and associated forms without having to enter a password.
Is this something that is possible to do in Access97?
I have searched the forum for an answer, but can't find anything.
Thanks, Steve.
I bet there is a simple explanation for this.
I have a form which opens automatically when the database is opened, but I want it to open in the maximised view so it takes up the whole screen.
Hello,
I have a couple of buttons on a form that I am havinga little trouble with.
The first button increments an integer variable which changes the colour of a box dependant upon the value. When a new record is opened I want it to be 0 which sets the colour. So on the form load event I have put Status (variable identifier) = 0.
when a new record is pulled up the box is white, should be a different colour, vbgreen, when I click on the button to increment it changes, so where should I put the declaration so that for each new record the colour is reset to the starting colour.
The other slight problme that I have is that another button inserts the time into a memo field. If I click the button again it just over writes the previous time stamp.
Is there a way to put each new click on a new line? Also I want to preced the time stamp with a a statement like the frist click was at time(). The second click was at time(). So I guess that I need to just increment a var for each click to then wrire 1st click, 2nd click etc. But how do I get the "1st click text/2nd click" text and again where do I put this variable so that it begins at 0 for each new record?
Many thanks.

I have been building a new db in my personal drive at work which has been working perfectly, until I transfer it to the main network drive so that others can use it.When I try to open it, I now get an error saying that windows cannot access the file (code 0x80070002) - although it does in fact open it anway, eventually.
I have removed and re-instated various bits of code, and discovered that it's linked to the 'Display Form' function within Access Options > Current Database, that I have used to open the form 'Homepage' when the db is opened. When the dropdown is set to 'None', the db opens fine, but when a form is selected, the error occurs. I have tried using an AutoExec macro to open the Homepage form, but this generates the same error too.
I have on very large form in my db that takes several seconds to load. I want to optimize things, so I am trying to have it load hidden in the background when the db first starts up, this way it can be immediately called on when it is needed later. Please read further :
I want to have a splash screen that loads as well. I have set the splash screen to the default form when the database opens. However, I am not quite sure how to get the other form to load in the background as hidden, AFTER the splash screen opens and appears. I tried calling it with the oncurrent event of the splash screen, but then splash screen wont appear until after the other (hidden) form has finished loading. I have tried different orders of events, but am having no luck getting the desired results.
Summary: I want the splash screen to show first, then the big form to open (hidden) in the background. The user can click on a continue button on the splash screen and then the main switchboard will open.
I have a table with a field [drivers name] that I want to default to another field in a form in the same db, is this possible???

I setup a button in order to start the filter by form action. Is there a way to enter values into the fields using VB after the filter by form action has been executed. I would like a default value be placed in a certain field every time filter by form is executed. Thanks in advance.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a form that has a textbox for a search of my database (in the header), and then in the detail section there are fields for the data to be shown in. Right now, one of the data entries comes up as a default when I open the form, and I cannot find a reason for it. Is there a way to change this? I've tried setting defaults for the fields, but those are only shown if I do a search and nothing matches. Thanks for any help.

We have a database form that we use to create "SDN" forms for our engineering department. We want it to autogenerate a number for us for each form. We want this field to be 5600 + the record number. How do I do this?

Hi, im new to the forums - this is my first post.
On a form i have a text box which holds the date that a file batch was taken to be processed. Each file holds the date of when the batch it originated from was taken. At the moment for ease of use the 'Default Value' of the text box is set to the batch's date.
I want to set it up so i can change the default value of the cell, so that when a new batch is to be processed the new date becomes the default value.
I am invisaging a button which brings up another form with a text box into which the new date can be put. when the form is saved and closed, the date recieved cell on the master form assumes the new default value.
gawd... methinks that was an awful explanation.
please help!
I have a form that is designed from one table. In this form I want one field to have the default value of a different field only if the one field has a value entered.
I've tried in the default value tab to enter =IIF([different field] is null,"",[different field]) nothing happens when I enter a value into the "different field".
I am having some difficulty with the default value in a form.I would like it to be the value in the previous record. I have been using DLast, but for some reason it doesnt seem to work for some of my fields. For the field "Station" it works but for the field "Field Officer" it returns an error in the form.
