    Ghudson do you mean delete the link to the images before deleting the buttons? Because I have deleted every form - taking with it all the images - yet it is still 12MB. I made a copy of the database and deleted absolutely everything - yet it is still 12MB. I wonder if access is hanging onto...

    12MB database with nothing in it!

    I had a database that was 25MB. Due to people changing their minds I have to delete an entire section of the database that took up nearly 1/3 of it. Yet I noticed that the space it occupies didnt go down much - even after a compact and repair. So I made a copy of the database and started...

    help needed for access database

    Not knowing too much about ASP, I'll say that it reads the picture string and inserts an image based on it. The best thing you can do is create an 'image not available' picture, and use it as the picture for those products without pictures. So all pictures should have a check box, but those...

    Read only...help!

    This might be obvious but I am am going to ask anyway - did you try right clicking the database and going to properties to make sure 'read only' is not selected? Another thing is you may have set up security that gives write access to certain profiles only. However I can rule this out because...

    Maybe you can use VB coding attached to a button to get data automatically. The dlookup function allows you to get a value from the table based on criteria. The onclick code can be something like: Private Sub myCommand_Click() On Error GoTo Err_myCommand_Click Dim myValue 'The value of the...

    Picture advice/help

    Hi guys. I have been told to make my database look 'sexier' but I am a bit worried that the pictures may slow it down or increase it's size unneccesarily. Speed is an issue because we have some offices that dial in and access it that way and as such are limited to their connection speed. So...
