I had a splash screen created for my Access 2007 database, but the decision was made not to have a splash screen. I deleted it, but now every time I start the database up I get an error that says the splash screen is still being referred to.
I think I've searched everywhere in my database forms and macros, but I can't find any reference to the splash screen. Would very much appreciate some assistance.
Thanks,
Derek
Open the db
Cick the OFFICE BUTTON (top left)
Select the ACCESS OPTIONS button on bottom of window
In the left Panel - CURRENT DATABASE should be selected/highlighted
In the right panel, the 4th item listed is DISPLAY FORM: Change that pull-down menu to be NONE.
Click OK

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!
We have migrated from SSRS version 2008 to 2016.
We have a report having multiple parameters such that the parameters pane exceeds the laptop screen dimension.
Due to which the multi-value drop-down parameter present at bottom of screen is not opening as it does not have the space to open it.
In previous version, we used to click the "small upward arrow" present at bottom middle of screen and the screen used to expand.
But this is not happening in new version. Please suggest how this bottom drop-down can be viewed.
Also, changing the position of drop-down is not an option as there is forward dependency.
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.
I am designing a web database using Access 2010
I have put a macro which uses the openform action
The Window Mode for this Action is "Dialog". in the dropdown this is the only option which is available for this setting.
when the form opens up, i can see that it is very small and its size is fixed.
I want to set the initial size of the form, or atleast make it resizeable so that uses can enter data properly in the newly opened form
I had the same problem, but found this:
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=G78tE7JjgDcC&pg=PA775&lpg=PA775&dq=access+2010+macro+set+window%2Bmode&source=bl&ots=bvmf2qN0fL&sig=gcAysal_0g1jJ3gOJP2c5WGVbKE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=yMkeUI-KJaWG0AXNu4GoAw&ved=0CE0Q6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=access%202010%20macro%20set%20window%2Bmode&f=false
(bottom of page 775)
Shows that Access 2010 macros are web based and only open forms in dialogue mode, not tabbed mode as in access. This does not show any other way around the problem! But I'm still looking.
Has anyone found a way to change the icon displayed in the Office Button in A2007?
Having converted an MS Access 2003 app to 2007, it's very annoying that my app is now displayed as an MS Office app instead!
You can certainly hide all of the ribbon and the office button with one line of VBA code in your startup. You can use:
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
The above will hide the office button the QAT and the ribbon.
edit:
You were asking how to hide everything. It is just a simple great one of code that will accomplish this for you.
If you are looking to build a custom UI, then you are free to do so. About the only limitation of a custom ribbon is you HAVE to have file button (but, I think every program I installed for 15+ years had a file option anyway).
So, you are most free to customize what that file button shows. You question simply asked how to hide everything and the above does that with ease.
So, if you do want a ribbon, then your custom ribbon can specify startfromScratch = true, then the only UI options you add to your ribbon is what the user will see.
However, a custom ribbon will always have the file button (or what we often call pizza button and that simply part of the ribbon).
You can also consider using menu bars and not showing the pizza button, but 2007 does not have a built in menu bar builder like previous versions did. This abilty to show only a custom menu bar is outlined here:
