I have an ini file which performs backups. I want to call this from an access form. Can anyone direct me to the correct site or methods to do this. It appears from my help file this can be done. I am trying to back up my backend.

Just an update. I found an ini file that has everything done for you. My only problem now is calling the ini file. It can be done but for some reason my help crashes on this and so far I have not been able to find the right advice on Microsoft site either.

Currently I am working on a backup module. My end users are a very simple lot, so I would naturally like a very simple procedure. Looking though this site I saw a previous post on backing up and this works fine. As long as the file is no larger than one floppy disk. How do I test the backend...

Rich ODE?

Thanks for the help guys. However, due to the complexity of messages and the numbers, it appears the simplest solution is to either process in Word, or to use FMS controls.

Although you do use a control on the form, if you don't want all the string to be bold, but just some of it, the bolding of a control does not help.

Thanks for the prompt replies. Lebans site shows a control being emboldened not a string. What I had some vague thoughts about was passing a value to Word. Processsing the string in word, then placing the word string as an OLE on the report or what have you. Any thoughts?

Previous posts have suggested this can not be done, however, I have had some morre thought about it. The desired outcome is strA= "Banana" strZ="Please add 16 " & strA The objective is to get strA to appear as Bold. Various attempts using FontBold property have amounted to nothing. I...

Just a thought. Why not use the file path directly. For example on a form add an OLE image. Set the path to nothing, and linked. Place a text box on the form to show the path name. in the code behind the form type me.img.picture=me.txtbox this will populate the image on the form, without...

Thanks for the help

I am trying to write a delete query and it is driving me b......s. I have a table which contains date,address, FAC,pH,TA etc. I run a query to select the top 5 by date. I now want to delete the records not in the top 5. But I do not know where to start to write this. I have tried fiddling...

I am rewriting some code for some reports. Currently there are three reports, however, there may end up being five or six. All reports at some point use some of the messages, some of the reports have messages which are unique to that report. The decision on which message to use is based on...

After thinking some more how do i tell the software that if the time goes over 4.00 pm to go to the next day at 7.30 am and continue to calculate the end date?

I have a field called Start Date which store the start date for a job. I have a field called estimated time. The time we guess a job should take. I am trying to write a query to add the time to the date to ascertain the next available date. My time is in minutes. I convert this to hours...

Thanks for the comment. However, that did not return a record either.
