Can I write a shell code in Access 2007?

19 New Member
Hey,

I have an autoexec macro in my program. When the frontend of the program opens up, I want the macro to run a module to check the local drive (C:) for the same program. If the program is in the C: drive, I want the open program to overwrite the original program. If not, I want it to save a new copy in the C: drive. I also would like this to happen without the user being asked where to save or what to call it.

What I am trying to do is put the frontend on sharepoint so it is accessible through the network. My issue is when the program is opened from the site, It asks the user if they want the program to be read-only or editable and I don't want this. The program only works when editable is selected, so my plan is to set users to only be able to open it as read only, then have the program save itself so it can be editable and the user could use it to its full potential.

Anyone know how I could go about this?
Also is this possible or is there a better way around it?

Let me know if any clarification is needed.

Thanks in advance.

I've been clicking around Access 2007 Beta 2 and can't see the custom menu bar designer. Is it in the beta? Maybe I'm blind. The question that comes to mind is: Will custom menu bars be the same height as they were in previous versions or will they be the "ribbon" style that takes up a huge portion of the screen? Also when I use Access 2007 to open an Access 2003 database that has custom menu bars they display as they did in Access...

If you are looking for opinon on what's useful in Access 2007, there's a new article at: http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html Covers what's good (useful features), what's mixed (good and bad), what's gone (features removed), what's fixed (old issues solved), what's broken (new bugs), configuration, compatibility, should you buy, and links. It is opinion, so you may disagree, but hopefully it's an informative summary.

Why the heck was this dropped? All my dbs use ULS even the complex ones. It aint perfect, it's too fiddly, but it works. How will I be able to say "These users can run these reports and these users can't." in Access 2007? Will I have to create my own tables (tblSecurityGroups, tblSecurityUsers) and code the whole thing? Thanks, Paul

I work with a highly programmed Access database (some 15,000 lines of VBA code, much of it automating data entry on forms -- and believe me, it's very tight code). In Access 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003, no performance problems. However, when I open the same database in Access 2007, it's as slow as molasses. Data trickles onto the form instead of an immediate display in Access 2003. This happens regardless of whether I keep the Access...

A client of mine likes some of the new bells and whistles in Access 2007, and is thinking about converting our A03 format MDB to an A07 format file. However, while some of the users have A07, many do not, and it's not clear when they would get it. His thought was to use the upcoming Access 2007 runtime to allow the users who are still running Office 2003 to be able to run the database. While I use multiple versions of Access on my...

Just found out that the Microsoft Rich Textbox does not support full text justification, since it's based on Version 1.0 of the RichEdit Window Class, and full text justification is only available in versions 3.0 or later of the class. However, also just found out that the new Rich Text property in Access 2007 ALSO does not support full text justification! This seems incredible, that MS would create a brand new application, and not...

10 years ago, the below was written (see very end, after my signature RL). What, if anything, has changed?

Now that I type this I realize that unless I put the database onto a...

I have recently installed Office 2007 (SP1) retaining the previous installation of Office 2003. I have converted an Access 2003 database to Access 2007. The database contains the VBA code 'DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdLinkTables' to initiate the dialog box to rebuild links to tables held in a back-end Access database (which has also been converted from Access 2003 to Access 2007). The code runs without problem in the original Access 2003...

Hi !! I'm about to develop a new project for a client. Should I go about it in Access 2003 or 2007 ? Purchasing it either for me or for my client is not a major consideration here ... what I'd like to know is the stability, speed & ease of use of both the products. I believe Access 2007 has a new file format too and that it may be slower.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
