    Sending Emails With Windows 11 Office 365 (New Outlook)

    Do be aware that classic outlook will cease to exist (or at least not supported) in I think 2029. Although Classic (i.e. the outlook application) is still available, at some point you won't be able to download it.

    Solved Afterupdate with no update.

    May be missing the point, but you can use the timer event - away from my computer at the moment but set the timer for say 1/2 second. Reset the timer on each key press. If user hasn’t typed anything for 1/2 second, assume they have finished

    Solved Avoid Duplicates Of Multiple Fields

    not sure how many fields you can have in a composite unique index (certainly more than 2) but what I have done in the past is hash all the relevant fields and store the hashed value in a unique indexed field

    Solved Afterupdate with no update.

    Have you ever been pressured into building something with a bad design?

    much the same in the UK. Pretty sure there is also a flag raised if you withdraw large amounts of cash - not sure what the level is but would guess £10k

    What pc hardware/software to speed up Microsoft Access?

    Suspect it is a problem with the forum presentation - It looked fine when I copy/pasted from the browser. I'm not prepared to spend more time on this. Suggest do what I did - copy paste the OP's questions to your browser.

    Have you ever been pressured into building something with a bad design?

    Been asked - yes, pursuaded - no Last one a couple of years ago was for a theatre company - an employee had built it using only macros and no documentation. And data wasn’t properly normalised.

    Full rebuild; migrating old tables and lots of other fun stuff. General pointers requested.

It used to take about 1 1/2 hours to create 600 reports and email them to each person with copies to managers. The new boy on the block decided that access was not a...

    Label not showing on subform if value is 0
