The above does not seem to work. I'll try the shell command though (I have to learn it first!) Any other ideas?!?!?!

Hi, What command & arrguments can I use so that I can open a database on my computer using a macro written in another database? Thanks

Hi, I am trying to write a SIMPLE database to load on my co-workers desktop that would allow him to open whatever application they desire. I know I can use a switchboard for this but I don't know how to write the macro to handle such a command. Example: The user would open the 'switchboard...

Hey, I have a small question. There is a table that I am trying to use that houses product numbers, the only problem is that those product numbers start with a '0' but the '0' got deleted because the numbers are housed in a number defined field. If I change the table properties to text, is...

Hi All, I have a small yet important question to ask. I have a text box on a form, that text box accepts a product number that the user wants to modify. I want to be able to do the following: - If the product number does not exist, prompt with an error message (this part is not a problem). -...

Hi All, I have a small yet important question to ask. I have a text box on a form, that text box accepts a product number that the user wants to modify. I want to be able to do the following: - If the product number does not exist, prompt with an error message (this part is not a problem)...

Well, it was important to know but the problem is that the user enters in a product number. Is there a way i can get it to query and then spit out the quried fields into text boxes back on the main form...?

I have been away from access for a while now and I am sure that this is simple. I tried a search but found nothing. The issue: A)The user enters in a product number, if not found then a message appears to tell them so...this I know how to do B)If the product is in the table then I would like...

ghudson, thank you very very much. that worked like a charm

MStef That is perfect...but sadly, I NEED TO HAVE IT IN A COMMAND BUTTON. Is there anyway that your code can be modified to be held in a command button

I already thought of that way but ran into trouble when the program tried to do the delete command. Is there a way I can do it in a msgbox. PLEASE. I know that I will not be able to 'mask*****' the password in a msgbox but that is what they want and I am stuck.

Hello I currently have a button that holds a delete command. When the button is clicked, a MsgBox pops up and ensures that you want to delete (yes and no); Yes deletes, No cancels. Now I need to change it around a bit so that it is more secure. I would like add an 'authorization' code...

Anyone here have any ideas regarding a good idea for an "about form" for my DB??? I will be talking about the purpose of the DB but do not want it to be just text. I think that the MS about Forms SUCK. Any Clues

GOT IT...I looked at your DBs and figured it out...thanks everyone :D

The contro tip seems to do the trick...there is only one problem though. It only does it when the command button in question has focus. Do you think there is any way around that?
