I've created a database that starts up with one form opened, from there users can access all the forms and rapports they need.
To make things as simple as possible I've removed all unneeded navigation and menu's, including the ribbon.
But because the database is moved around a lot I need the users to have access to the Linked Table Manager, just this one menu item.
So my question is if there is way to just show this menu item and hide all the others?
Or if this is not possible if I can link this item to a button an a form?

I have developed an application that tracks financial transactions. In the form used for data input, there is a dropdown where the user would choose the reason for the transaction from a fairly long list of choices. To clarify the choices, there is also a gallery that gives transaction codes and explanations for each of the choices in the dropdown. My client has asked if they can click on the choice in the gallery causing the dropdown to select that choice.
I created a variable that is blanked out when the screen with the form in question is opened. I also set the default of the dropdown equal to the same variable. From there I can choose an item from the gallery via an icon and set the variable equal to the desired field in the gallery, which causes the dropdown to populate with the desired value. However, if the user chooses from the dropdown first, then tries to choose from the gallery, I lose the functionality due to defaulting to the variable no longer works. I want to reset the dropdown when I choose from the gallery, but I can't get the dropdown to reset from the icon in the gallery since the gallery is outside the form.
Thanks.
Sample ComboBox
Is there a way to create a combobox like the one shown in the mockup above? One where I can search/filter within the dropdown itself (red text in image), where the column headers would normally go (if enabled). I've been asked to create this specifically in our access database, and I'm not sure if it's possible. If this is possible, what combobox properties would need to be changed to make it happen?
I suppose that my question will be considered silly, but I'm really stuck.
How can I view all tables in the *.accdb file?
I use Microsoft Access from Office 14 to open and edit that file. Then I go to the Database Tools tab and select Relationships, where I expect to see all the tables, but actually I can't.
I see there some tables and even saved queries. And some of these queries use tables, that I can not find.
I'm newbie to the Access, but have to make some edits to the database.
UPD:
Somehow I've managed to view necessary tables through the maze of Object dependencies. Is there a more simple way?
It sounds like some tables are set as Hidden and you don't have the View Hidden Objects setting checked.
Press F11 to show the navigation pane if it is hidden. While that is open, right-click the top of the bar and choose Navigation Options. In the next screen, you'll see an area Display Options, whose first checkbox is Show Hidden Objects. This will allow you to see greyed icons for hidden tables in the navigation pane. It also adds the names of hidden tables to the "Show table..." box in the Relationships.
In relationships right click anywhere in the empty box, show table, select all tables, click add
I'm creating an Access database for data entry, so I put together the form shown in the image below. It works great besides one problems I'm having that I can't seem to nail down.
I want to create a form that navigates by hiding and un-hiding subforms when clicking the buttons in the top bar. The subforms themselves are linked directly to the table (not a form, but the table itself). I did this in order to have an easy way to enter multiple entries in an excel like fashion that the users are familiar with. Entering the data works fine. Closing the form and re-opening it however causes the subform to show each individual record and the record navigations must be used to cycle through each one.
The intention was for the records be shown in the same fashion as if I just opened the table. Is there any viable way to accomplish this?
We are currently building a request form in html that will allow users to look through a learning catalogue and if they want to apply for it they click the apply button which takes them to a request page and automatically chooses the resource from a drop down to save them having to choose it themselves.
Is there any possible way to do this?
Thanks.
