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.

I am trying to write a VBA macro that runs when opening a .docx document. I want it to force the display of the Navigation Pane and then force all of the headings (any level) to display in collapsed mode. I am trying to get the code for the Collapse command using the macro recorder.
All I have when I record the macro is:
ActiveWindow.DocumentMap = True
Right-clicking on a heading in the Navigation Pane and collapsing does not record a code line. Is there a VBA method for this event?
I "solved" this requirement for myself by means of an AutoHotKey script, which just sends the necessary mouse click and subsequent key strokes. Not beautiful, but it works most of the times.
Kind regards, Hauke
As of this writing in 2019, this is not possible through VBA. It's been asked for from Microsoft for a long time.
As originally suggested in this Microsoft forum post, the quickest way to collapse all of the headings in the Navigation pane is to right-click one of the headings and click Collapse All. Obviously this is not an automated/macro-based solution, but it's all we have until Microsoft exposes the task panes through the VBA object model.

OP discovered the name of the table in the SQL sentence, but was not able to locate it. This was because it was hidden.
To hide/unhide elements in the Nav Pane, you can read:

I want to create button that copies fields in a report which comes from a form but I cant figure how to write the VBA behind button in VBA . I am sure its pretty simple but cant figure it out. I appreciate if you can help me.
To convert an Access 2007 form to a report, follow these steps:
Open the database containing the form.
Click the name of the form in the Navigation pane.
Click the Microsoft Office button.
Point to Save As and then click Save Object As.
Click in the Save "Form_Name" To text box and enter a name for your report.
Click the drop-down arrow in the As text box and select Report from the list, then click OK.
No VBA required.
I'm looking to automate a simple process in VBA and need to "click" a ribbon button. It makes the most sense to just call the button's underlying method. Is there a way to figure out what it is?
We are using Excel 2007 and 2010.
If it's Excel 2003 or earlier, you can use the CommandbarControl.Execute method. For instance:
Application.Commandbars("3rd Party Toolbar").Controls("Button to Push").Execute
There are two ways you can do this.
Right click on the toolbar and select Customise. If you right click on the button there may be details somewhere of what Macro the button is associated with.
If you record a macro and click the button. Then you can look at the VBA workspace and view the code that is generated to run your macro (which is just clicking the button you want). This will show you what method the macro clicks.
