Open Access Database Form from within Access database


I have included the following code to open an Access database form from
within an exsisting Access database. But when I run the code, it
appears that it opens the database because in windows explorer I can see
the database has the .ldb file extension. So it appears that it's open,
but I can't see the database or the form that I've tried to open. What
am I doing wrong. The following is the code:

'This is in the declaration part of the module

Dim appAccess As Access.Applicat ion

' Initialize string to database path.

Const strConPathToSam ples = "C:\Documen ts and Settings\My
Documents\Cares et Data Verification\Er ror Log Database.mdb"

strDB = strConPathToSam ples & "Error Log Database.mdb"

' Create new instance of Microsoft Access.

Set appAccess = CreateObject("A ccess.Applicati on")

' Open database in Microsoft Access window.

appAccess.OpenC urrentDatabase strConPathToSam ples

' Open form.

appAccess.DoCmd .OpenForm "Import Error Logs", acNormal

Thanks in advanced,

After these lines of code:

' Create new instance of Microsoft Access.

Set appAccess = CreateObject("A ccess.Applicati on")

' Open database in Microsoft Access window.

appAccess.OpenC urrentDatabase strConPathToSam ples

'-->you need to place this line of code

appAccess.Visib le = True '<--missing this line here

I am trying to open Database #2 while in Database #1 and delete a table that is in #2 so that I can copy a table from #1 into #2 - all through a function. My Database #2, as part of the start up, opens a form for user sign in. It is not starting up with autoexec. I do not want the function to open the window and subsequently open the form in Database #2. Is there anyway to get around this? If I put the open form in the autoexec and...

Hello all. I have a database that I use to send email updates to people. Everything is working fine, but one suggestion I keep getting is to add a link to the automatic emails that will open up the database, then open to the correct form and record. I can write a simple macro to open a form and a specific record, but what I can't figure out is how can I get that speciic record number in a command line link? Here's an example...

MS Access2000 Hi everyone, I've searched the forums for an answer to this question and nothing jumps out at me. When a database is opened I want to automatically run code (at start-up) that compares the path of the opened database to a specific path (where the original database is located). This is for security reasons - I need to know if the original database has been copied without authorisation. Due to network issues I cannot use...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
