No I checked that too, in fact access 2003 opens, but before it does it gives the errors that the command line can't be used to start access etc. Yet you can open the file fine from the File>Open etc. Works fine on 2 PCs I've tested with just Office 2003 installed, but not with one that has a...

Thanks James, it seems it's an issue if Access 2000 is installed then 2003 is installed also on the machine. As I've tried on another machine with just 2003 and the command line works perfectly just as in 2000, strange behaviour!

Anyone have any tips on this, cropping up again now, trying to solve it!

In Access 2000, to open a database with the correct workgroup and username/pw I used: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "C:\MyApp\MyWorkgroup.mdw" "C:\MyApp\MyDatabase.mdb" /user MyUsername /pwd MyPassword If I try this with Access 2003 (which I'm converting some...

Many many thanks will have a read!

We have a couple of quite complex systems (I maintain the code) designed in A2000 SP3, our IT dept is finally moving us to the Office 2003 platform, so we want to convert the Access systems over. (Separate front end and back end, all secured with a workgroup file) Some of the code uses DAO...

The OnPrint will occur in the detail of your report (plus the group headers and footers), highlight the detail section and you'll see an OnPrint event.

No logins required, unless you want them to be. Technically you have to login into the Workgroup to gain whatever access level you require to the file, but you can have the user / standard user password either set to blank, or set to anything you like, and automatically login in via the loading...

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, it sounds like you are making this harder than you need to...:rolleyes: I don't really understand why anyone would want, or need to hide all those menus/controls. I've been deploying similar systems for years, setting up a secure workgroup file. The first step...

Have you set the format (in the properties) to Percent? If you want to do it manually with the row source, and the data is from say Field1 Then the row source needs to be changed to =[Field1] & "%" Hope that helps.

I have a system printing out customer orders, the header information (client address, order number etc) is all set-up in the OrderID Header area, plus space for the pre-printed paper used by the end-users. Then the Detail section, followed by a order total in the OrderID Footer, I finally have...
