‘Deactivate’ the Navigation Pane

[mlr]

Hi, hope someone can help...

Is there a way to ‘Deactivate’ the Navigation Pane while a Form is open?

I have a Custom Navigation Pane that I want to deactivate while a Form is open, so for the duration of the active Form one can’t click on any other selection on the Navigation Pane then on Close of Form it to reactivate the Custom Navigation Pane.

I have locked the Navigation Pane for no changes or renaming.

Thanks
Mark

You can use the property "Control Box". If you set it to "No" (e.g. by right-clicking on the form, selecting "Properties" and then setting "Control Box" to "No") then your pane won't be visible.

Marcin,

The Control Box is No and NavPane still shows, which is fine I just want to block access to it while a Form is open. Once the Form is close the NavPane to be accessible again to choose another Form. ...So can only have one tab/form open at any given time.

Sorry should have stated using MS Office 2007 & 2010.

use acDialog parameter in the command that opens your form - it will keep focus on the form until closed

spikepl,

I'm not using a command to open a Form, using the Navigation Pane as the selector to Forms & Reports.

Thanks

Or, if it is always needed to be that way, change the form's MODAL property to YES and then whenever that form is open, nothing else can be used except that form until that form is closed, just like if you open it with the acDialog option but with the added benefit that you don't need to have the option in the command to open it.

(just another possibility - so I thought I would suggest it).
