I have a Sharepoint365 list which I can link to from Access 2010. Unfortunately - no matter what I do I cannot seem to edit the list and it remains read only. I can see that I can set permissions on the Sharepoint365 backend but when Access 2010 connects it never asks for any credentials. I am...

Thanks Steve. I was trying the Access angle first just to see if anyone else had any experience with this. I'll give it a go.

No-one? In this Internet age I would thought there must be some ways to speed this up.

What is the fastest way to query a MySQL database over the web? I currently use the latest MySQL ODBC drivers which work perfectly - but everything is very slow. Even simple queries over tables just doing a simple join can take an age to download the data. Ignoring the speed of the internet...

Pleasure. Just hope it saves some of you guys some time. In the end I went down the KB install route. Not ideal for people distributing apps but really - as far as I can see - it is your only sensible option.

Known workarounds: 1. Request a package of KB983246 and install it on your customers' machines. Re-compiled application should work after the package is installed. 2. Re-write your application to use later binding to ADO, or use interfaces with name xxx_deprecated. 3. Keep an old version of...

Re: WARNING - AVOID Windows 7 SP1 Yes - it is this problem - but there appears to be some workarounds. 'Just to make this clear: this is not a VB6 only issue. Any programming language using MDAC COM classes with more specific interfaces than IDispatch will break due to the changed IIDs.'...

And lo and behold... http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/eu/windowscompatibility/thread/186656cb-4e85-440c-be5f-1feea726c467 Someone else with potentially the same problem - although not Access - this would cause my issue. Microsoft - don't you test things anymore? First the WinPhone 7...

WARNING! AVOID Windows 7 SP1 Really weird. I have installed Win 7 SP1 and since doing so whenever I compile an app and accde it it now no longer runs on my target machines. The targets being Windows XP. I didn't understand it at first but I have done lots of testing and found that old...

Nothing? I kind of hoped that someone here would be XML savy.

I am about to start work on creating an XML feed form my Access app. Is my general understanding of how this works (below) correct?: 1. Create an XML file from Access - essentially a text file with XML fields etc. 2. Append or upload this to a web server. 3. Refresh after some pre determined...

Thanks - but I think I'm going to stick with vbSendMail and do a similar thing to yourself and keep the address book in the app.

Thanks for that idea Boyd - the BCC tip is really quite neat.:)

What is the best way to email from Access? I have used many different systems but they all have some drawback. I want a system that works with Outlook and Thunderbird, has the option for bringing up the email program screen incase a user wants to edit the email and also supports multiple...
