I am trying to save an .mde file to access 2016. I opened the database using Access 2016 and I went to file menu at the top and don't see any Save as option. all I see is different options. please see below image:
I do see save under Home menu, but I can just click it and it saves the existing database. I want to convert this database to Access 2016 and rename it and then close it. the save button that I see under Home menu is shown below:
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Follow the below steps
Click on "File" option in the Toolbar top left.
Now click on "Privacy Options".
Click on "Current Database".
Now in "Options for the current database" will open.
Scroll down to "Ribbon and Toolbar Options".
Select the checkbox "Allow Full Menus".
Click on "OK".
After step 7 you will get the pop up "You must close and reopen the current database for the specified option to take effect" Click Ok and close the MS Acess file.
Again open the same MS Access file Go to "File" option in the Toolbar top left.
10.After completing the step 9 .You will be able to see the "Save As" option.

A custom ribbon is assigned to an (entire) database in the options for "Current Database" and displays when I open the database with a shortcut like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\MSACCESS.EXE" D:\d\music.accdb
However, if I close the database and re-open it from the File menu, the custom ribbon is no longer displayed.
If I attempt to load the custom ribbon from VBA, I get an error stating it is already loaded. (The "Client Settings" option is set to show add-in user interface errors, as of course the ribbon would otherwise not display when opened using the first method.)
I specifically re-assigned an individual form from its own custom ribbon to the database-wide custom ribbon to see if this would make the ribbon appear, but it did not when I opened the form. (The form's specific custom ribbon appeared okay before the reassignment.)
I'm using Access 16 as part of Office 365
.
Also, the database is listed twice on recently opened files. I have double-checked again and again: the exact same file is listed twice, with two different timestamps, as the last two files opened. Clicking the icon for one opens the database with the custom ribbon displayed; the other does not. If I instead browse and re-open the closed file from the Windows folder, the custom ribbon is not displayed.
Any ideas what would cause this?
dbmitch put me in the right direction. I was able to solve this and also eliminate the duplicate listing for the database on the File: Open: Recent menu by deleting all records in the table USysRibbons, performing a compact & repair, then restoring data to USysRibbons.
If I have several panes (groups) open and do CTRL+P (go to anything) and type the name of a file which is already open in another pane, Sublime will open this file in the pane I started Go to anything from. I want it to go to any of the other panes, where this file is already opened instead of opening a new instance of the file.
How can I achieve this?
There are a couple of packages/plugins that may be close to what you want:
GotoOpenFile, you can choose from a list of views in whole window or the active group:
https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/GotoOpenFile
or the newer Zen Tabs, which has some other useful file status as well as tab management

I am having an access 2000 front end. When i double click it, it is openning in design mede. But i want it to open in run mode only. It should open the form is design mode only when i click on mdb file, by pressing SHIFT key.
Can some one please assist me.
You either need to set the "start-up" options to display a default form on open, or alternatively you could create the "Autoexec" macro if you have more custom tasks to carry out on start-up.
I have created a macro to run a saved import (a file imported from Excel into Access 2007). When I run the macro, the saved import runs and the following happens:
A "Manage Data Tasks" window pops up.
I have to choose from the following options: Run, Create Outlook Task..., Delete, and Close.
If I select Run, the next pop-up asks, "Overwrite existing table or query?"
I have to choose: Yes or No.
Another window pops up and says, "All objects were imported successfully."
I have to click the OK button.
I have to click the Close button on the "Manage Data Tasks" Window.
Is there any way that I can automate all these button clicks if they are always going to be the same? (The bold faced buttons are the ones that I'll always be clicking.)
If you use the DoCmd.RunSavedImportExport Method you won't have to interact with the Manage Data Tasks dialog at all.
DoCmd.RunSavedImportExport "YourSavedImportName"
You will however have to deal with the possible errors that get raised. For example if your source file is unavailable you will get an error like
Run-time error '3011':
The Microsoft Office Access database engine could not find the object
'Sheet1'. Make sure the object exists and the you spell its name and
the path correctly.
This may be too simple, but can you use the Setwarnings:off command in your macro before you import.
Now I would like to see the macro to automate the import
How can I disable the access-options or to hide it?
Update
If you open your MS Access 2007, you usually see the button at the upper left the "Microsoft Office button" and if you click on that, you'll see the different functions like: "new", "save", "open" etc and at the button you'll see the "access options" and "exit".
Make a ACCDE copy of the DB
This will Strip out your VB source (but will leave the compiled code intact).
but first get your menu setting the way you want
e.g.
1. click Access Options->Current Database.
2. Uncheck "Enable Full Menus" for this database
3. From the Database Tools menu, choose "Make ACCDE"
Note Unless you apply a valid digital signature to you DB, Access will warn about VB script and prompt user to Open or cancel good thing is it will quit if they don't accept run VB script but its better to create a digital signature for your DB
Hope this helps
Presumably this is only for the users. You can create a shortcut which the users use on their desktops which has the /runtime command line option. The problem though is you then have to add the path and file name of the msaccess.exe file, ie "C:\Program Files....\msaccess.exe"
Using the free Auto FE Updater makes this entire process a lot easier as well as automatically updating the FE as you make updates available to the users.
