This example shows how to turns a popup Microsoft Access form into a special always-visible sidebar or top/bottom bar on your screen — similar to the Windows taskbar, but completely customizable and made for your database application. Main things it can do: Sticks to one edge of the screenYou...

This example shows how to modify the behaviour of the MsgBox function by increasing the font size, buttons and window. It's far from being perfect, but it can be useful as a starting point for those who want customize larger MsgBox messages. Some examples:

Surely this approach can be used into your function, but AFAIK only for the old MsgBox style, not for the new ones that can be used in MS Access 365.

After reading this article by Colin Riddington also known as @isladogs : https://isladogs.co.uk/msg-box-timeout/index.html I've been experimenting with this topic and discovered that we can change the title, message, or button caption of a standard MsgBox after it has been displayed using some...

Selecting files/folders using Windows API. I don't think this topic is new, but I couldn't find an easy way to drag one or more files from Windows Explorer and drop them into a textbox, so after doing some AI research, I ended up with this database. Warning! In 32 bit MS Access this code is...

This example shows how to save any text from the clipboard to a table so that it can be pasted later anywhere.

Yes. Years ago, I did what you want to do in a project and I've always regretted it. I remind when I wanted to add a new API module it, was a pain!

My point is that's a good idea to delete #if VBA7 conditional if not needed but it's a bad idea to move all the APIs to a single module because : - Sometimes the same API can use different parameter types on its declaration on different utilities. - Having a module for each utility or utilities...

I'll try to explain but it's not easy for me. By default, when you open several databases, they are stacked on the same taskbar button. Example of two MS Access instances on the same tasbar button (Bad!): You have to manage to open every MS Access front end on a different Taskbar button, for...

Hi @KitaYama , According to my tests if there are several front ends opened on the same computer, each one must have its own taskbar button, if they are stacked on the same taskbar button it doesn't work properly. I hope this helps. I've only tested it on two monitors with no issues:

This code allows you to place a small status icon (e.g., a red circle, a green check, or a number icon) over your Access taskbar button. It also allows to create and display dynamic images (using GDI+) over the taskbar button. Some examples: If you are opening multiple front ends on the same...

Yes, I know it doesn't work on standard forms because they are not top level Windows as popup forms are. Thanks for your feedback. :)

Are you sure it is a popup form? Arnelgp's form has rounded corners, but yours doesn't.
