Its the business! Exactly what I wanted. A further thought >>>> >> it would make sense to have a DEFAULT setup, e.g. LANGUAGE "999", which cannot be modified even by the administrator, so that if titling goes astray, the Original Defaults can be re-instigated immediately. Q. How do you...

Using the Text Box controls, in its simplest form to start with, can you have a look at the attachment and help me with the expression, or what I need to call up the record P01. Once its set, its set and the customisability comes from Admin modifying the Table tbl_InputPrompts. I will...

OK, Endre's idea is on the right track, let me have a play around with this technique, I wasn't actually considering several companies access the same database all at the same time and having locally understood Field Captions, however this would be good across multi-language companies? I...

I wanted to create a Table that listed the preferred titling to Input Fields, e.g. some companies use the following titles for the same "Type" of information: Shop Order, Works Order, Customer Order, and depending on the size of the company or what information system they use, e.g. SAP, IFS...

Checked link out. Yes it does the trick, but in a very long winded way, by creating the look of a Tab Ctrl box wihtout it actually being an Access preset Tool. I was hoping for a simpler solution, maybe leave the pages colours alone and stick with the background - until I'm more confident n...

I've tried everything I can see in the Tab Ctrl Formats to change the background to suit the background of my main Form. When its default Grey, you do not see the edge of the Tab Ctrl, but when you change the yuck grey to something more warming, the grey background of the Tab Control box is...

Thanks all, Once I had Enabled the "Shift-Key", I could use the Linked Table Manager. The database opens fine now, when Shift Key is ON. *** Also, there seems to be several Modules containing code, without delving too deeply at this stage, where can I get some tutorial support on Code, why...

Thanks for all of the responses. To confirm. After the error message as per the attachment, nothing opens at all, so I can't access an Autoexec - as far as my knowledge will take me. So, first question: How is this done, is the Autoexec accessible outside Access, or am I missing...

What's happening is I am not getting any access to the FRONTEND. I can open the BACKEND and see the tables, but when I go into DATABASE UTILITIES > LINKED TABLE MANAGER, it states "no linked tables"? When I try and open the FRONTEND, even when using the "Shift-Key", I get the error messages...

Hi, I am working on a database, at home, that is networked at the office. When I open the Database, I get the error message, cannot locate BACKEND.mdb, including the network path used at work - seems obvious. I have a copy of BACKEND.mdb stored locally, at home, but how do I redirect the...
