allowshortcutmenues at dependand on user

[sdel_nevo]

Hi Everyone

i would like to be able to only allow certain users from having shortcutmenus with in access 2010 forms.

when the database starts the login form displays that has this code on the login button

Private Sub cmdLogin_Click()


'Check to see if data is entered into the UserName combo box


If IsNull(Me.cboEmployee) Or Me.cboEmployee = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a User Name.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
Me.cboEmployee.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If


'Check to see if data is entered into the password box


If IsNull(Me.txtPassword) Or Me.txtPassword = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a Password.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
Me.txtPassword.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If


'Check value of password in tblEmployees to see if this matches value chosen in combo box


If Me.txtPassword.Value = DLookup("strEmpPassword", "Employees", "[lngEmpID]=" & Me.cboEmployee.Value) Then
strAccess = DLookup("strAccess", "Employees", "[lngEmpID]=" & Me.cboEmployee.Value)
'lngMyEmpID = DLookup("strAccess", "Employees", "[lngEmpID]=" & Me.cboEmployee.Value)
UserFullName = DLookup("FullName", "Employees", "[lngEmpID]=" & Me.cboEmployee.Value)
lngMyEmpID = Me.cboEmployee.Value



'Close logon form and Main screen

DoCmd.Close acForm, "Logon", acSaveNo
DoCmd.OpenForm "Dashboard"


Else
MsgBox "Password Invalid. Please Try Again", vbOKOnly, "Invalid Entry!"
Me.txtPassword.SetFocus
End If

'If User Enters incorrect password 3 times database will shutdown

intLogonAttempts = intLogonAttempts + 1
If intLogonAttempts > 3 Then
MsgBox "You do not have access to this database. Please contact your system administrator.", vbCritical, "Restricted Access!"
Application.Quit
End If

End Sub


this works really well and opens the form "dashboard"

based on the "strAccess" level i have managed to hide certain buttons and reports, again this is working as expected.

what i am required to do is allow users with strAccess = "admin" to be able to view the shortcut menus when they right click.

i have tried creating a module with this code in it

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit


Public Function EnableStartupProperties()


changeproperty "AllowShortcutMenus", dbBoolean, True




End Function



and then calling EnableStartupProperties if "strAcess"= Admin but i get an error "Expected Variable or Procedure, Not Module"

any ideas as to how i can go about this.

Many Thanks

What is 'changeproperty' - VBA is not recognizing it as a method.

I don't think programmatically setting the project AllowShortcutMenu property is practical (if even possible) because requires restarting the db for the new setting to take effect. Forms have a ShortcutMenu property setting that can be programmatically set. The db AllowShortcutMenu property must be active for forms to have shortcut menu.

Hi June7

thanks for the reply

i did not realise that forms could have this set programmatically

i have added this and all is working now.
