The Access template called "Assets" has a great feature in which you can click a button that runs a macro called "AddContactFromOutlook". This opens your Outlook contacts and lets you choose a name to add to a Contacts table.
The problem is, I can't find any basic instructions on how to use it. The macro commands are very simple: basically just "AddContactFromOutlook".
I copied a table from the Assets template into my database, created a form and added a button to run the macro, and it works fine. But when I did the same with a table and form of my own creation, I got this error:
The Command or Action 'AddFromOutlook' isn't available now
I suspect the problem is the names of my fields, although this error sounds like something different.
I've searched online, and mostly see information about special cases, not the basics.

I am unable to submit my app for review in the Microsoft app store, and when I upload my csv and resources, it accepts them and says complete, but the submit button is still greyed out and unclickable, then The page reloads, and it still says incomplete.
Here's a link to the image : https://imgur.com/VY0Evsf
CSV file doesn't complete everything, you need to go into your Store Listing (English) and make sure every field is filled properly. There surely is something missing in there, that is why it is incomplete.
I'm new to ServiceNow and have been following the Learning Path on the Developers site. I created a Jakarta Instance and have been making my way through the tutorials. However, I have been consistently running into problems where I am missing configuration options when creating application files. I can't properly set up UI Policies, Events, Notifications, etc. because I'm missing specific options like being able to write scripts and more. I have switched to the "Advanced View" in the "Related Links" but to no avail. The account is an Administrator account and has not been modified at all since the creation of the Instance. Is there something I am missing? Other developers following this track with me currently do not have the same problems so I'm wondering if its account specific or something with configurations. I've attached my Notification file; even in Advanced View, it is missing "Send When" and "Advanced Condition" script.
An example of options not loading: Notification Application File Example
Double check that you are under the Advanced view for these sections.
These should be there for you, Send when and Advanced condition are under the When to send tab within the Advanced view.
If you don't see these under the Advanced view, you should be able to manually add the fields using the Form Designer.
Take a look at the documentation at Form design.
In short
Go to your instance and go to Settings Gear > Developer and change Application to Global
Right click the header and go to Configure > Form Design.
Verify you've selected the Advanced view
Drag the missing fields to the form.
Click Save
Change the Application back to the one you are working with
I have a quick question, is it possible to open a form created codes in access?
I have created my form but I can not find how to perceive its code in Visual Basic
Thank you for your reply
The only way I know is to export your form from access in an ASCII file, but this is not useful. Access forms are completely embedded in the mdb/accdb file and they need access executable to run. Usually you write events functions of the forms of your access project into the vba editor, but you can access properties and design details only from the design view.
I am trying to build a pop up zoom box which will be activated on a report embedded in a form allowing the user to click on the report and view a field on the underlying table which the report is demonstrating. Furthermore, the user will also have the opportunity to edit the fields contents which the zoom box, upon closing will then paste into the field in the underlying table.
A colleague of mine confirmed for me that this is possible and put me on the right track by showing me that it is possible to extract a field by creating a control on a report. However, i am missing the part to repaste the updates into the underlying field.
Being a report, Sift F2 does not allow the edit..
I would appreciate any advice available.
Thanks,
A
Fantastic effort given by HansUp in live chat directing me to exactly what i needed!
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmZoom2", WhereCondition:="[ID] = " & Me.txtPrimaryKey
i would like to distribute an access front end to some people and i want to make sure that they do not edit anything in it; however when i change the extension to ACCDR it makes all the forms and tables disappear. what settings do i have to change in order for them to be able to open forms but not view them in design view or make any changes to the forms?
The accdr extension puts your Access application into the "runtime" mode of Access, meaning the end user does not have the ability to see the built in navigation tools within Access. You would need to provide the navigation mechanism within the application yourself (for example, a startup form with links to the forms \ tables you want the users to be able to interact with).
The accdr extension hides objects from the user, but it does not prevent them from changing the file extension back to accdb and modifying your code \ objects.
To completely "lock down" the application you need to create an accde file instead. This prevents the user from being able to open a form in design view and make changes.
