On my PC using Windows XP sp2 and MS Access 2003 sp2, using the above example: Call Shell("explorer.exe " & strUrl, vbMaximizedFocus) My Internet Explorer does not open Maximized. Nor Minimized I mean in the taskbar, but in a sized window even though I previously maximized IE and closed it...

Thanks SammyJ your suggestion might work for me.

Yes I know it has to manually updated, and that's the beauty of it because you can show users the progress. "I believe that a mere Hourglass does just as good. After a time, you users will know how long things take." Are you joking or just not very user(customer) friendly? The only downside I...

Sure but then I have to search through the multidimensional array to find the fruit for which I want to change the value.

Is there any way to to create a variable with the name of another variables content in VBA? PHP has something like what I now need in VBA, I believe it is something like this: // Put text string in a variable $Fruit="Apple"; // Now create a variable named as the content of the above variable...

Ops I figured it out :) retVal = SysCmd(acSysCmdSetStatus, "Hard at working burning CPU cycles...") This also has an option to use a "meter" function which can be changed and updated to view progress

Ok the question may sound cryptic, but I have a large database with many forms that all contains VBA code that can be iniated via a button and will perform some time consuming work. I would like to be able to view some kind of status or progress of the work performed. Perhaps even dynamically...

Can somebody please contribute to this as one of us seems to be misunderstanding each other. The above seems to be an example of a simple two table relation database, with a parent and a child, something I already know thanks :) I need something a lot more complex, so please read my first post...

:eek: It is still a bit early in the morning for me, so I may be a bit slow, but can you perhaps elaborate a bit on your solution? Thanks!

How do I create a table that can cross index items in another table. Maybe I am not using the right terms here so let me show a small example. Say I have a tables of words. tblWords numWordID txtWord Then I have some entries, all more or less synonyms of each others fresh new clean Now I want...

Ok, it is almost a year after I posted about this problem. I guess my previous problem description was not the best, and I forgot to mention that the subform was in table view. If anyone has a minute please look at the attached simplified example database, and tell me how I can display the...

As always Pat I certainly appreciate your input. However for this particular table, I ONLY wanted one table, as it was actually a table I was creating to be converted to MySQL and used via PHP on a website of mine. I there wanted to keep things simple, and just access one database, and...

Ok, I came up with the following solution, not award winning, but :) 1) To display a number as bits spread over multiple check boxes is easy, just set each checkbox's control source to the following: Checkbox 1 =AndBitwiseComparison([numAttribute],1) Checkbox 2...

I am trying to create a framegroup with checkboxes, where each individual checkbox in the framegroup can stay on or off, meaning I want to be able to select (check) several checkboxes, or any combination on or off, not just the limitation of only any one checkbox on, and none other. Hmm, maybe...

Wayne, thanks for your recursive example, more neater than the solution I finally came up with, with GOTO's that reminded me of the bad old BASIC days :) DKDiveDude Silly Quote of the Day: "Scuba Divers works best under pressure!"
