Not too long ago my project manager asked if could have user profiles that when an emp starts his/her startup would launch the forms in order based on their position and if a user wnatwede to change the order of their forms or include others and remove others they should be able to do that. The...

I actually have done it your way as well. I generally do not use a wizard accept for getting text boxes to match the name of the underlying fields to allow to iterate through the fields (rst(f1) = me(f1.name) sort of thing. I firmly believe you are born with only so many ketstrokes so i...

What I did is just like Micron posted. I created a form with all of the controls I generally use. I then formatted them to a central theme I use. The I impor the form . When I need to format a new button , all I do Is quickly add as many butons as I think I might need on a form , then copy...

hey I reglossed your non active x calendar control to look more current (cosmetically) would you like a copy - brilliant work.

LOL It was in ther in a form of a rant Question - is there a way to design a form but put various controls on it , using coliors and special effects and what not and then save it as a theme without having to go to that darn color example which I'm sorry is not very intuitive

I have been doingAccess design since 1992 - yep In the good ole days I would muti select a group of buttons and format them the same through the property sheet settings. The I started using the format painter to duplicate a style I liked As for themes never used them - Always set "Use...

default value setting in form

My post was clear - I said I (me) use it for certain things AND I did not know how it interacts with recordsets Also I don't use the syscommand for my users because they really don't look at it , they look at an hour glass or maybe a pop up modal form (where I run the code from) until finished...

the improbable becomes the probable :)

i can't post links yet as I haveonly 6 and this makes 7 but if you search Spy dot com I mean Google for: access vba conditional format databar as progress bar you will some great articles for this easiest way to have a progress bar without a progress bar ;) Might take a little tweaking...

Has any of you used just a textbox on a form and used conditional formatting (it has an option for progress bar) and let that be the engine that drives the meter? Now I do not know how well it would work counting a hundred thousand records, but for value and progression representations for...

DBForums was my favorite go to site AT THE TIME - now AW is of course. I wish I had metrics from back then but the number of members , articles, on-line people any given day, posts just crushed every one. I am sure AW has the same amount ,if not more , data and helpful people. Thanks again guys

I remember PBaldy specifically from DB Forums (what ever happened to them? Great site ) we have actually exchanged personal code snippets If PKStormy is here I need to thank him personally for the pop up calendar - I used that last week on a Cement Truck Scheduling app I built in a hurry to...

Resolved two issues In design mode I set that controlsource so every record actually was setting that as the control source and then I was not issuing the requery command so it was not looking in the anticipated folder but the previous one The control works wonderfully as an embedded file...

I am working on a Project Management App , and was looking for a way to "embed" a File Manager/Exlorer window on the Project Record form. I don't want to create a button and use filesystem object , been there done that and it is not the functionality the client wants. by chance , when adding...
