Help with code

Hi all,
I am trying to learn a little about programming (I know next to nothing
so far) and have found some code which hides the toolbars. However, this bit
of code is a little too effective and hides all of them including hiding the
database window, disabling menu changes. What I am after is the same effect
as disabling all the check boxes in startup which still leaves 'File',
'Edit', 'Insert','Records','Window' &'Help'. I want to do this via code so
that with a click of a button, I can show them again from a protected form.
This cannot be done though when the boxes are unchecked from startup.

Here is the code I have.

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim l As Integer
For l = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(l).Enabled = False
Next l
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Web", acToolbarNo
End Sub

Any help with this would be much appreciated :o)

This is how you control what gets effected. You test the name of each
Commandbar as you loop through them all using the 'If' statement.

In the code below the If statement asks the question 'If the name of the
CommandBars(l) is not equal to (<>) "Menu Bar" then set the enabled
property of Commandbars(l) to false". Because there is no 'else'
statement following this, nothing will happen when if the name of the
command bar being tested IS "Menu bar" IE. it will NOT be disabled.


Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim l As Integer
For l = 1 To CommandBars.Count
IF CommandBars.Name <> "Menu bar" then CommandBars(l).Enabled =
False
Next l
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Web", acToolbarNo
End Sub

re: Help with code

Hi Mr Smith,
Thanks for your help however, when I run the code from a command button
I get the following error:
Compile error: method or data member not found.
the following line is highlighted: If CommandBars.Name

Could you shed any light on this?

Many thanks for your time,


Mark

re: Help with code

Sorry, my bad.

Try this: If CommandBars(l).Name ....
^^^

We MUST stipulate which iteration of the CommandBars 'collection' (as it
is known) is being tested.

re: Help with code

Hi Again,
Sorry to be a pain. I have changed the code as you suggested and it runs
with no errors. Unfortunately, the menu bar is still hidden. I have read
through your posts and I understand what it is doing (to a degree) and
cannot understand what is going wrong......

Just incase I am still doing something wrong, here is the code as it is now:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim l As Integer
For l = 1 To CommandBars.Count
If CommandBars(1).Name <> "Menu Bar" Then CommandBars(l).Enabled =
False
Next l
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Web", acToolbarNo
End Sub

I really appreciate your help on this,

Mark

re: Help with code

Sorry, I just flicked thourgh a brief test to give you some code to work
with and didn't chekc the results as thoroughly as I should have.

What you can do to test/see what is happening is this. In your For l =
1 To CommandBars.Count code, enter the line;

Debug.print CommandBars(1).Name

so you have

For l = 1 To CommandBars.Count
Debug.print CommandBars(1).Name
If CommandBars(1).Name <> "Menu Bar" Then
CommandBars(l).Enabled = False
Next l

Then, in your VBA window, select 'View' menu -> Immediate Window

Next place your cursor on the line

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)

and pres F9. This sets breakpoint which halts execution of the code to
help you 'watch' what is taking place. Now open your form from the
database window and you will se that the line;

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)

will be highlighted in yellow. Now press the F8 key to 'step' through
the code one line at a time. When the line;

Debug.print CommandBars(1).Name

is higlighted and you then press F8, you will see the name of th
CommandbBar currently being processed in the Immediate Window we opened
earlier. The line

If CommandBars(1).Name <> "Menu Bar" Then CommandBars(l).Enabled =
False

will now be higlighted. Press F8 once, then Alt-Tab to the main Access
window to see if the menu you want to retain has been removed. If it
has, the name of that menu bar will be the last one to appear in the
Immediate Window. You can the add this name to your 'IF' statement. So
where we currently have;

If CommandBars(1).Name <> "Menu Bar" Then...

you add any extra conditions as follows

If CommandBars(1).Name <> "Menu Bar" AND _
CommandBars(1).Name <> "Other menus bar name 1" AND _
CommandBars(1).Name <> "Other menus bar name 2" Then

And so on.

Hopefully this should equip you with an understanding as to how to
decifer the results you need for yourself. If not just reply back. I'm
only too happy to help.

Good Luck,
Mr. Smith.

PS: Do you use Windows XP?

re: Help with code

Hi again,
I have followed your instructions and I am a little confused. After
going through each step of the code, the only thing to appear in the
immediate window is "Task Pane". I have changed the line "If
CommandBars(1).Name <> "Menu Bar" Then" to read "If CommandBars(1).Name <>
"Task Pane" Then" and run it again and the menu stays visible.

This shows that the code is working OK but I was hoping to see a list of all
the command bars. With the task pane visible, I can still use too many
functions from the menu and not the same as when I disable the menus from
startup :-( Any ideas?

Thanks again for your help and explaining in novice terms what your going on
about. It's a great help learning what exactly it is I'm typing.

Regards,

Mark
