I'm having some issues with the property sheets on both MSAccess 2003 and 2010 (I'm using both because our offices are transferring over to access 2010).
Problem : Whenever I want to edit any form, the property sheet displays fine but it won't allow me to select/edit any of the objects properties. I'm unable to even change tabs. Is there a fix?

Attempting to tidy up the mess that is our SQL Reporting Services. While I am sorting permissions there are some reports that users would like access to that I don't wish to provide them full access to the folder said reports reside in.
You can add a report as a favorite if you can see it in the 'Report Manager' however since the report(s) in question people only have the hyperlink to because they don't have permission to enter the folders is there anyway I can add an 'Add To Favourites' Button within the report?
Or is there another method that I am missing?
I know that you can create a Linked Report which can then be placed into another folder that they can access already. Then, they have access to the copy of the report that is created which is linked to a separate folder so they never have access to the folder you want to keep private.
You just click on the arrow next to the report on report centre and click create linked report.
Here is a simple guide:

I have an Access database than when opened it shows a form, however, this is not a switchboard and I can not see an Autoexec macro that is doing this. Is there any other way a designated form can be display on start up? What am I missing.
In the Google Apps Script editor, I can set a user property by opening the File > Project properties menu, and then selecting the "User properties" tab. However, it seems that the PropertiesService is unable to access the values set in this menu. Is there a way I can access the values set through this menu in my script?
Set {"propertyA", "valueA"} in "User Properties" tab (pictured
below)
Run PropertiesService.getUserProperties().getProperties()
Output: {}
If I were to then run PropertiesService.getUserProperties().setProperty("propertyB", "valueB"); and then getProperties() again, the output would update to show only {propertyB=valueB}.
Similarly, as my searches all direct me to the PropertiesService, where can I find documentation about these menu properties? (Specifically, I'd like to know when I should use the menu option versus setting the values programatically.)
No. The GUI for accessing user properties was never updated when the UserProperties class was deprecated in 2014. The issue was finally resolved with the redesigned Apps Script IDE in 2020, which removed the GUI for accessing properties altogether.
Although it is possible to access the legacy IDE and modify script properties via the menu, the only way to access user properties is programmatically with PropertiesServices.getUserProperties(). Google has also published a guide to the Properties service.
In Excel 2010, is there a setting that prevents a user from being able to access the properties of a form or ActiveX control?
I am working with a user who can open up an Excel file and insert controls (both form and ActiveX) on a worksheet. However, when that user clicks any object and goes to it's properties, the properties for the sheet are displayed instead of the properties for the selected object.
Additionally, any macros that attempt to access the control through the sheet throw an "Object doesn't support this property or method" error, because the control is null. See the example below that attempts to reference a dialog control named "CommonDialog1" on a worksheet named "AddParts":
Worksheets("AddParts").CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
I am able to run this exact same macro on other computers from the same workbook without any issues. Is there some user setting in Excel that is preventing the user from being able to access objects?
To answer the above questions:
1) The workbook is unprotected
2) Enable all ActiveXControls without restrictions is checked. However, I was able to work around this issue by using the built-in Application.GetOpenFilename VBA function to get the file dialog instead of using the ActiveX dialog control.
I'm still not sure why the ActiveX control wasn't available to the user, but this work-around was able to allow the user to use the Excel Workbook.
Had this exact problem and found this solution
Close Excel.
Start Windows Explorer.
Select your system drive (usually C:)
Use the Search box to search for *.exd
Delete all the files it finds.
Start Excel again.
"Cannot insert object" error when adding ActiveX control like Microsoft DataGrid to Excel sheet
I have data in access in the form of a table. I need to export it to excel in the form of an excel sheet where i should even be able to make updates to the data if necessary. I have to do this using VBA. And also one more thing the data I have in access is which i have generated using SQL
Why do this with VBA? There are multiple simple ways to do this from the normal interface options.
And what do you mean by, "the data I have in access is which i have generated using SQL"?
