Im having an intermittent problem where forms open in view mode but minimised, looking like a small inch-sized box with the 'X' close button visible.
It normally seems to happen when Ive made a change to the form or code in the forms module, but happens randomly when being used in view mode.
I can only get round it by either re-importing a backup of the form or making the form border sizeable, either way it's not too professional.
Any ideas how I can solve this one?
Docmd.Restore seems to work on the form load event

We have an existing web application with hundreds of input fields through different applications that has been installed at several sites. At this most recent site, however, we have started having an issue with the back button automatically filling in input fields. This is an issue because the only time we allow the back button is if an error occurred in processing. So the flow is as follows:
1) ask user to scan a barcode
2) an error occurs on the back-end and it directs them to an error page with only a back button
3) the user hits back and is directed to the input page, input form is now filled with the previously inputted data.
I know this is some form of caching or browser issue because when I hit the web app from my personal pc, it doesn't do it. But when they use their android scanning devices and if we load it up on the application server, it does.
I have fixed this on a couple of pages with autocomplete="off" on the input fields, but it just isn't feasible for us to change this on each of hundreds of input fields if we can avoid it. I'm looking for some browser or windows function to turn off to disable this.
I have tried turning off all of the chrome autocomplete fields, and I have tried disabling the cache in dev tools with no luck. Is there another way to disable this without using that autocomplete tag?
If inputs are inside form you can put it on form.
If not you've only one option to use a global script to add attribute on each input something like below but it'll put it on every input and I'm not sure if it'll have any side effects for your case:
field.setAttribute( "autocomplete", "new-password" );
Hope it helps.
I had a button click event in my access form which has
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmStudentsAll", acNormal, , , , acDialog
Clicking this button opened the frmStudentAll in dialog view but all of a sudden today clicking this button did not open the form. I thought Access was crashing everytime I clicked this button but I can still edit the VBA but I cannot press any of the buttons in GUI. My thought is that the acDialog is opening a really small form somewhere that I cannot see and I cannot press anything without closing it. I am having to close Access using task manager.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmStudentsAll", acNormal
Opening the form in just normal view works fine but this is not really what I want. I did not do any new Access updates recently. Not sure why this is happening.
The problem is that the form does open, but is positioned off-screen.
This is a common issue when you have a multi-monitor setup or have different users with different resolutions using the database.
By default, Access stores the location of the form relative to the database window. If a specific user has two screens, or a very large screen, he can easily position it where others can't reach it. And even a single user can position it where he himself can't see it, by first positioning it on the first screen while Access is open on the second screen, and then opening Access on the first screen.
To avoid it, set Auto Center to Yes in the property pane for the form. That makes sure the form is always centered with respect to the Access application window, so always is on-screen as long as Access is on-screen.
Alternatively, when you're locked out of the database because of this issue so can't adjust the form, you can use Forms!frmStudentsAll.Move 0,0 in the VBA Immediate window to reposition it. That way, you don't have to close the database when this occurs.
Not sure if this will help or not but, I'll throw it out there anyways. I had a similar problem when I had two monitors set up. Then lost one. There was one program that I would use all the time but, all of the sudden it wouldn't work. Took a while for it to kick in. That program was opening on the second screen that was no longer there. Just a shot in the dark... Good luck!
I am currently working in MS access 2013, and having an issue with some forms that worked previously. I have gone back and edited them to have different functionality. I need the forms to be pop ups. Now, they work perfectly when they aren't pop-ups, but as soon as I change the forms to pop-ups the forms pop up off screen. I have no clue how to fix this.
Now the first thing I did was start from an old verison, and I was just going to remake the form; however, as soon as I change ONE thing from those old forms the form starts popping up off screen again.
Has anyone had this issue or know how to resolve it?
If you have two monitors or if your application is created in a secondary monitor and used in a single monitor machine, this behavior is expected. As EvDev mentioned. Set the "auto center" = Yes and edit your application in the default monitor.
Set the Auto Center property of the form to True.
OK. So first, I will try my best to explain so good. My friend has gotten cursed out on this forum for not explaining, so I will explain. :)
Ok so I have my program built and all. But then it hit me! Wouldn't it be better to add a news feature? One teeny tiny problem? I cant? How would I implement a interactive code into an HTML page.
Like can i connect a button to a URL that will make the program do something. Almost like you can open cydia tweaks with there identifier and url EXAMPLE: http://handleopenurl.com/scheme/cydia And then i can add urls so i can update the program, without updating the files.
Or even just a featured news thing would be nice. But how would i implement this perfectly. I tryed a webrowser, but the page is too big for it. I am good at html, not much at css, i mostly use Adobe Muse http://www.adobe.com/Muse
Last question. Kinda defies the first thing i said about having my program finished.
Is there a way i can add a plus button and make it add more buttons and more labels and all?
This would help with allowing users to customize more then what the program can handle. By The Way, its a winter board Theme Maker. So I have a bunch of icons with there bundle identifiers and I create the folders with VB.net and all that stuff. But i want users to be able to click a plus button to add MORE text boxes and file browsers.
Any ideas? Maybe DIM 1 as NewFileBrowser? But i need to move all the buttons and i need it to be able to be clicked an infinity amount of times. I can do the coding for all of these buttons, but i jest need to know how to create them <1 Move them and the button so that the button goes further down each time, and more boxes will go further down. Much help apreciated. THANKS:)
EDIT:
Are you trying to say that you're wondering how to have a web browser control in a vb.net >app, which displays a web page, and when a button is clicked on the page, your app detects >it and does something? – Thraka
That sums up the top part. I am using windows forms, and it is coded in VB.net
If you get the object you want, like the button, you can hook the event and have it call code in your form.
Find the object using the Browser.Document.GetElementById method.
With that object, add an event handler to the Click event.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.htmlelementeventhandler(v=vs.110).aspx for information about the event handler used
I have an issue in our currently running .net application. we are using autocomplete extender control associated with city textbox for city selection. Due to slow internet connection, when user uses this application with partially rendered, it is not suggesting for entered city (highlighted in red).
I have used Page_Init event for first disable the textbox, than enable it on Page_Load, but it's not working (to prevent user for enter text when the page is not loaded completely).
Is there any solution to overcome this problem?
After loaded successfully,
So you want to disable the textboxes until the page has loaded? I am not sure if it will work like you want but have you considered using jQuery to disable the textbox? For example here, here, here
