Trying to find and download Bob Larsons

Access Front-end Auto-Updating Utility.​


I can't seem to find the actual link anywhere. Including BTAB's website. Is it still available? Thanks.
 
 
Strange. It seems most/all of the items can no longer be downloaded. I got download error messages on each of the items I clicked on

That's the last link I have for Bob's utilities --when he left he (or someone) moved his materials to Juan Soto's site
itimpact.com
I am able to open the first few links

Hi @jdraw
That's the same link I've used in the past, but the downloads from his site no longer work for me
 
Or you could go with a shrotcut that runs a simple bat file
Code:
md c:\DwgLog
del c:\DwgLog\DrawingLog.accdb
copy "\\BSCCTIMBERLINE1\Timberline Office\AccessApps\Data\CommonFE\DrawingLog.accdb" c:\DwgLog
c:\DwgLog\DrawingLog.accdb
 
I have a module from Scott Prince that I've made some changes to, and requires a table in the BE and FE for version checking. I've also added the ability to check for an app module prefix (3 characters in my case) and the file path to the 'master production version' which will be copied to the user's desktop in a specified folder and, with the use of batch files, should also create a desktop shortcut. I should update it to my new naming standards and perhaps add some comments for others to use...but it is as it is for now.

In front of all the "Function"s??

Looks like that may have done the trick
 
just put PtrSafe before Function

32 to 64-bit conversion is not as simple as just doing that.
Adding PtrSafe is necessary and the code will then compile in 64-bit but that doesn't mean it will work

You also need to change all Long to LongPtr if those reference a handle/pointer such as hWnd
You may also need to modify Type declarations as well.

The process isn't difficult but it can be tedious and time consuming.
Suggest you read

Also download this utility

And if you can wait a week or so, watch the online session Peter Cole is doing on this topic:
