    Capture "Your network access was interrupted" so can close/exit more controlled

    Hi, I have a BE on a wired LAN. Very rare for interruption but power outage or just resetting a Switch/AP without remembering to close all FE (I have 4) give me the above error. I usually have to click 5 or 6 or more close or X on the window before access closes. It can of course happen from...

    Can you have an array as multiple criteria. e.g. HAVING (TableX.Email=""" & EmailSearch & """);" EmailSearch has more than 1 value

    Hi, Hope title is not too confusing. EmailPasteTable is a list of emails I have been sent. I call this function from a form & elsewhere LatestEmailUse("JoeBloggs@hotmail.com") It shows that lastest time e.g. joebloggs@hotmail.com emailed. also how many times but not so important. I would...

    Apostrophe ’ instead of ' in RFT, solution that took me ages to work out. rare problem but bugged me!

    I could not find this anywhere so perhaps a very rare situation & not one to cause issues but just in case someone has a similar problem. Tried many times over many months & just gave up. May be obvious to some/most but thought mention here. Trying to remove or correct apostrophes ' in RTF...

    Adding Criteria to a Calculated Expression in a query dramatically slows performance

    I have a query that runs normally in a fraction of a second. One of the (many) fields is DaysWaiting: Date()-DateValue(FirstBookedDogs([ID])) Admittedly quite complicated but when run, say returns 10 records in 1/4 of a second. So all the DaysWaiting numbers are show instantly so I assume...

    ONLY 1 of many Win 10 PC crashes on acCmdPaste

    Hi, Thanks for your replies, It is exactly the same code over 3 other PC's that has worked for years so really can't see it as coding issue. It is actually runtime but I will load a accdb & compile on that PC, just in case the references somehow got upset during the WIn 10 install, weird thou!
