Form_Open VBA Code not working - ms-access

I have a access database with some forms and vba code behind the forms.
On Form_Open (on every form) I have this piece of code.
Dim hWindow As Long
Dim nResult As Long
Dim nCmdShow As Long
hWindow = Application.hWndAccessApp
nCmdShow = SW_HIDE
nResult = ShowWindow(ByVal hWindow, ByVal nCmdShow)
Call ShowWindow(Me.hWnd, SW_NORMAL)
This hides Access and shows only the opened form.
My problem is that Access is starting, but the form will not open.
I have to kill the Access task in task manager.
Is there any way to solve the problem?
EDIT: Every form is a PopUp

As I understand, you need to hide main form and leave popup form open. I normally use window opacity settings instead of hiding:
Private Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function SetLayeredWindowAttributes Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal crKey As Long, ByVal bAlpha As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long
Private Const LWA_ALPHA As Long = &H2&
Private Const LWA_COLORKEY As Long = &H1&
Private Const GWL_EXSTYLE As Long = -20
Private Const WS_EX_LAYERED As Long = &H80000
Public Function SetWndOpacity(hwnd As Long, opacity As Byte, clr As Long)
DoCmd.Maximize
SetWindowLong hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE) Or WS_EX_LAYERED
SetLayeredWindowAttributes hwnd, 0&, opacity, LWA_ALPHA
End Function
Then call:
SetWndOpacity Access.hWndAccessApp(), 0, 0

Visual Basic & MoveWindow sending external app window way off screen

I'm trying to position a couple of external windows from within my application but either end up with just a piece of the title bar on screen near the top left or the window goes far to the right and ends up at x = 32767
The function declarations are in a module and the Move_Notepad Sub is part of a form.
Option Explicit On
Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32.dll" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
Declare Function MoveWindow Lib "user32.dll" Alias "MoveWindow" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal nWidth As Long, ByVal nHeight As Long, ByVal bRepaint As Long) As Long
Public Sub Move_Notepad()
'Move NotePad to 1,1 and set its Width and height to 800,720 (pixels)
Dim GoWindow As Long
hWinHand = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Untitled - Notepad")
GoWindow = MoveWindow(hWinHand, 1, 1, 800, 720, 1)
End Sub
Private Sub bMove_Notepad_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles bMove_Notepad.Click
Move_Notepad()
End Sub
I installed the PInvoke.net Visual Studio Extension extension and got the following code which finallyworked for me:
<DllImport("user32.dll")>
Public Function MoveWindow(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer, ByVal nWidth As Integer, ByVal nHeight As Integer, ByVal bRepaint As Boolean) As Boolean
End Function
<DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError:=True, CharSet:=CharSet.Auto)>
Public Function FindWindow(

Remove ribbon but keep QAT in Access using VBA

I've successfully removed the ribbon on startup by using this line of code:
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
But this also removes the Quick Access Toolbar. I want this to stay so that the user can only see the icons I've selected to be shown (Copy, Paste, Export to Excel, etc,.)
My ultimate goal is to have only these icons appear, and the header to be otherwise empty, thin and out of the way. I'm trying to save as much screen space as possible, and I do not want the user to have to ability to expand the ribobn.
Is there a similar line of code that will force the QAT to be shown. Furthermore, is there a way to select which shortcuts will appear in the QAT with VBA. I know this can be done manually, but I'm trying to automate it.
Looks like it's possible using custom Access XML
Start by going and reading through this
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Customize-the-Ribbon-45e110b9-531c-46ed-ab3a-4e25bc9413de
and then you'll need to create your own bit of XML code to control everything
here a list of the control idMso to use http://www.ribboncreator2010.de/Onlinehelp/EN/_2el0osmon.htm
the following is a something i whipped together as a proof of concept
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui">
<ribbon startFromScratch="true">
<tabs>
<tab idMso="TabAddIns">
</tab>
</tabs>
<qat>
<documentControls>
<control idMso="SaveObjectAs" />
</documentControls>
</qat>
</ribbon>
</customUI>
this is what is looks like
Not sure how helpful is replying to 5 years old thread, but who knows...
Few days ago I had to (finally) move from Access 2010 to 2021 and was stunned with new UI in general, but mostly with how much space is wasted at the top, especially for my usual scenario for distributed apps - QAT without ribbons and everything else on the right mouse. I didn't take it very seriously at first, believing I'm not the only one with such layout and ready-made solution(s) would be there, in numbers. That was a second surprise, because there are none. "Blank" ribbon is still wasting 40-50px of space with File ribbon not removable. Aside from ruining the concept, everybody will ask "Why is this blank File menu there doing nothing...??"
This is not very difficult to solve, but (like everybody else) I prefer copy/paste to writing own solution from scratch, sadly it was not there to grab :) So here's simple solution for those who want their ~40px back :)
It is assumed you handle all the usual stuff like hiding navigation bar, prevent F11, opening with Shift, hiding Taskbar etc. Or not. It will work even in "design" mode scenarios, but it's not meant for that. For now I simply hardcoded 45px for Window bar/QAT height, can be modified, calculated, but can't be bothered at the moment. Also, this will not work with Access 2010 and earlier, can be made to work if somebody wants to play with it, I'll not
Here's code
Somewhere in your start up routine add these 2 lines of code
moveMDIUp
SubClass_On Access.hWndAccessApp
Create new Code module and insert this code:

UrlDownloadToFile in Access 2010 - Sub or Function not Defined

I am trying to use the function URLDownloadToFile in Access 2010 VBA code. When i run the code it tells me that URLDownloadToFile is not defined.
I have read that this function is in the urlmon.dll which i DO have on my computer. I tried to click the references button in the code editor and load it but it would not let me do so.
How can I fix this so I can use the function? Or is there another function that will allow me to download a url to to a file?
You'll need to declare this WinAPI function in order to call it from procedures in your code.
From HERE
Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" (ByVal pCaller As Long, ByVal szURL As String, ByVal szFileName As String, ByVal dwReserved As Long, ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long
Public Function DownloadFile(URL As String, LocalFilename As String) As Boolean

DownloadFile = True
End If
End If
End Function
Private Sub Form_Load()

MsgBox "Unable to download the file, or the source URL doesn't exist."

How can I make a network connection with Visual Basic from Microsoft Access?

We have a Visual Basic application inside of Microsoft Access and we need to make a network connection. With VB6, there was a handy little control called WinSock that made this possible, but I can't find anything similar for the stripped down VB version that exists inside of Microsoft Access. Any ideas?
Since I'm not getting any answers, I'll try to clarify what I need this for.
My application sends out an email, and we're currently using a built-in Outlook object to create a message and send it in the background. The drawback is that it prompts the user to approve an "outside program" to send an email, which is frustrating our users and seems unnecessary. All of the other emailing options I've been able to find online require us to either download or purchase a control, which would be too labor intensive for us to deploy to all of our users.
I was hoping to use a socket control to manually connect to the SMTP server and send a message (since this is trivial in other languages) but I can't find any way to make a TCP connection in VBA.
I just dealt with this very issue in the last month. For various reasons, CDO was not adequate, direct use of MAPI way too complex, and the Outlook prompt you complain about completely unacceptable.
I ended up using Outlook Redemption. It's widely used by Access developers, though I found it to be rather convoluted and not terribly well-documented. But it is doing the job quite well.
The email "security" feature added by Microsoft has frustrated many developers. I don't know of an elegant solution. I've used the freeware app ClickYes Express with success, but of course that's not the answer you seek.
For the specific problem mentioned in the OP, there is a better solution. 'save' mail to Outlook. Do not 'send' it. It gives the user explicit control over what is sent, and when, and does not generate pop-up dialogs. A triple win.
But since you ask....
