Reeeee-heeeeee-heeeeeeeeeeally... Well hey, I guess as long as the operating system itself is relying on .bat files, it's safe to say they're still supported, lol. I just sure hope they keep 'em around. The simplest solution is usually the best, and .bats are easily accessible to anyone with...

I've actually been pondering the idea of using .bat files to deploy updates to my front end file, and while I'm familiar w/ the concept, I'm new to the actual practice. This has crossed my mind on more than one occasion, and it's got me wondering. Moving forward technology-wise ('cause I...

Not being a true Access pro and still mastering the fundamentals of database design, I ordinarily wouldn't throw in my two cents, but I've recently started getting into the practice of normalizing data, and I'm finding that while it does take a little more time to set up initially, it is...

Rawr. Thanks for answering, Pat. Eghhh, I was afraid of that. I've been avoiding subreports because they're a pain to format and always seem a little sloppy to me, especially when a single control should be able to do the job (I'm creating a whole subreport for one field here *raises...

Ooooooh, boy. Reports. =| So I've spent some time building a form to add/remove items in a table showing what items on which associates have been trained (skills, internally). It uses two list boxes and an add/remove button to select and display what skills are available and what skills on...

Yeah, I found out the hard way that it doesn't import relationships, lol... I think I needed to take another look at them anyway. Good to know there's at least a way to do it for the future. I'm not sure it affects me in this case, but out of curiosity, what do you mean by file impex specs...

I thought the same thing, but I wasn't gonna argue. The only table I intend to leave in the front end is the switchboard items, as that should only really change when the front end needs to be upgraded anyway. As far as lookup tables go, they may not change often, but when they do, I don't...

Woohoo! :D Weird how that stuff works sometimes. It's a challenge learning a lot of this stuff as it is, w/o Access going screwy and randomly corrupting things, lol. Anyway, I'll go ahead and move forward getting this thing split now. Thanks a ton for your help, guys. :)

Follow up time. I MAY have found a workaround, but again, I'd like some advice on whether this is just a surface fix or an actual solution. Chris, you suggested that I "import all objects into a new container, blah blah blah." Correct me if I'm wrong, but I interpreted this as saying I should...

Ooooookay. First of all, thank you for the replies, and for confirming that I'm on the right track as far as my splitting process goes. As for Chris's suggestion, I've jumped through all the necessary hoops to get Office up to date, and still have the same issue. I'm very much a beginner with...

So I've got another topic which has been practically beaten to death, but again, I'm having trouble finding my answer for the same reason. I've read up a bit on the advantages of splitting a database for multi-user environments, and while I'm a little nervous about it (having never tried it...

Egads!! :eek: HOLY FLYING MONKEYS THANK YOU SO MUCH!! That was driving me CRAZY! It took some messing around, but I figured out that I had to unreference a few random libraries that were somehow inadvertently referenced, and it WORKS now! :D Dude, if you were closer, I would hug you. haha

Actually, that brings up another issue... pbaldy - thank you for your help, again :) I pasted that code into a module, and it works like a charm. Thanks a ton. As far as the Environ("username") solution goes, I was previously aware of this, but I'm having two issues with it. First, if I'm...

Okay, so I know there is a TON of stuff in this forum alone on how to secure an Access database based on Windows login information, and so I apologize for adding to the clutter out there, but that's actually the problem -- I can't seem to find exactly what I need among the threads and threads of...

So to handle this, we would... Class? Anyone? Anyone? I see this post has gone a good 3+ years without a reply, so I'm not sure if the original thread creator even cares anymore, but I'm curious myself. Can anyone out there answer this? I'm finding multiple posts and articles on how to...
