I resized my A2007 Navigation Pane and somehow closed it up so tight (maybe 8 mm) that I can't resize it again (can't grab the right margin....) The pane is open and operates, I can type a search into the pane's search bar, and it works, including opening the object I find. I just can't get it to resize so I can read it.
Any ideas?
Hit F11, to close the pane, then drag it out.
It is an infuriating problem!
Just ran into this problem with Access 2010 database saved in Access 2002 - 2003 format. Click F11 to collapse the Navigation Pane. Then select the edge of the collapsed navigation pane and drag to the right.
Just had this Navigation Pane problem in Access 2010... infuriating is an understatement. Lost an hour trying to figure it out... lost a form that wouldn't save in the process.
With a database open, goto: File/Options/Current Database/Navigation Options{button}/ De-select the "Show Search Bar".
Should be able to open the Database and expand the navigation pane, now.
Thanks.
All the answers did not work for me. This however worked.
Click on the Navigation pane title, "All Access Objects" in red. Change the objects you want to display. In my case I chose "Tables" from "All Access Objects". You can choose any.
Now drag the navigation pane out.
Change to the original display objects
Cheers.

On startup I want to check whether the navigation pane (left side of the screen) is open so I can minimize it by simulating a keypress. I managed to do it for the ribbon (top of the screen) by using the method CommandBars("Ribbon").Height.
I want to do the same thing for the navigation pane. There is a CommandBars(index).Width method so I think it should be possible.
I tried getting all the names of all the controlbars but I can't manage to find the correct one. I also tried to compare the width of all controlsbars which name contain "nav" using this code
For Each cb In CommandBars
If (InStr(cb.Name, "nav")) Then
Debug.Print cb.Name & vbTab & cb.Width
End If
Next cb
I ran this code with both the pane opened and closed but I havent been able to find any differences in width.
Does anyone know how I get the correct width of the navigation pane in Access 2007?
There's this option: SendKeys ("{F11}"). The only catch is knowing if it's already open or not.
This works for some, not others (works on my machine...access 2016):
DoCmd.NavigateTo "acNavigationCategoryObjectType"
DoCmd.Minimize

Im using vb.nwt 2010
I wanted to create a context menu that shows another context menu when the item is clicked
I already have the running code for the first context menu but im lost at showing another context menu within the first one
thanks any help will be appriciated
If what you are asking is 'Can I create a sub menu on a context menu in the same way that a standard menu has one (as per my illustration)?' then the answer is yes. Just use the ContextMenuStrip control which you can find under the Menus & Toolbars strip in the toolbox panel in visual studio.
Set up the context menu the way that you wish it to be and then assign that context menu as the context menu of whichever control you want to invoke it at runtime.
I upgraded to office 2007 from 2003 (I think) but now on a couple of documents I cant see all my tabs as the worksheet window goes well below the excel window. I cant move or resize the work sheet window, It's not protected. when I try click on the top bar of the worksheet window - here you would usually be able to drag it around I cant.
however if I select it in full screen mode i can see all the tabs.
I have checked the settings and "show tas" is ticked. I've googled for an hour and tried numerous things but to no avail.
If I try view as tiles It still doesn't change.
My only option left is to copy and past each sheet.. or is there a way to copy a wwhole work sheet tabs and all?
Please help!!
Thanks.
You simply need to double-click the title bar of the worksheet window. This will cause it to Maximize, which will make it fit to the exact size of the application window.
Workbook was protected. I went to review tab . took the protect workbook drop down and unselected protect.. worked as normal then!
Hope this helps someone!
Thanks!
I have a program which runs mainly though a NotifyIcon in the bottum right of my windows screen (XP). Whenever I open the ContextMenuStrip that appears when the icon is right clicked, a box also appears in the task bar. I also have nested menus inside the menu (mouse over one item leads to another menu), and each additional menu also creates a taskbar box upon appearing. So once I am at the third or fourth nested menu, there would be 3 or 4 windows appearing in the taskbar. After the menu disapears, so do the windows in the taskbar.
How can I stop the taskbar from displaying boxes to represent these menus? I have done nothing in my code as far as I know to create this type of behavior. I have searched for similar problems but have found nothing similar. There is no "showintaskbar" property for these items as far as I can see, and no other property that I can find which would affect this. I have investigated the owner of the contextmenustrip since I read the owner may effect these type of behaviors, but that doesnt seem to be helpful as there isn't an owner property of the contextmenustrip.
I don't know what else to search for, so I am here hoping someone can give me a clue as to what else may effect this type of behavior.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
If you are using the ContextMenuStrip.Show() method, it will display in the taskbar as you describe. Try assigning your menu to the NotifyIcon.ContextMenuStrip property instead.
I have created an autoexec macro in MS Access 2007 and cannot find it!
I know its there because it runs, but I cannot find it to delete or modify. I can see other macros that I have created just not the autoexec one.
Can someone please point me in the right direction to find where it is located .... cheers :)
Do you know if the AutoExec macro is hidden?
If so, right click your left hand pane, and select Navigation Options.
Make sure that under Display Options that the Show Hidden Objects is check.
THis should then show you all hidden objects, and you should be able to access the AutoExec macro
-
Alternaticely, you can click the Office Button in the top left hand corner.
Select Access Options, and Current Database.
Under Navigation, click the Navigation Options and follow the rest above.
