    When converting Front End to MDE Access hangs

    Thanks spikepl I tried converting the BE to MDE Just to see if it would - no reason apart from that. About Compiling. I may not have done it right. I pressed Debug and Compile in the VBA window, thinking about it, I'm guessing it only compiles that that little bit of code. I will read some...

    Securing A Database - License Key

    Hi GTH, Peter's Software say that resetting the computer date doesn't fool Keyed Access. They call the feature "bullet proofing". I haven't tested it. Thank you for this Post

    When converting Front End to MDE Access hangs

    Hello, When converting the Front End of my database to an MDE, Access just hangs and says (Not Responding). I've left it our an hour and there's no sign of stirring. The Back End converts in just a second or so. I am guessing the FE problem is in my VBA - but where!!? Might you gentlemen...

    Deployment - where should I start?

    I went ahead and bought Peter's Software Keyed Access Programme And it seems fine. The only small glitch I have had so far is that to generate the registration numbers requires temporarily setting User Account Control to "never notify" which once I received an email back from Peter's Software...

    Update Query, to limited records.

    Hello, I’d like to run an Update Query on a limited number (or percentage) of records from a Button on a Form. Big John Booty gave me the idea in his post; http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/search.php?searchid=7976978 But instead of opening a Form (as in BJB’s example), I want...

    Deployment - where should I start?

    I'm going to do as you suggest JTH (thank you) - and have a go myself. It's not really about saving the $300, instead, it's that the db will be better the more I understand it. I've no plans to maintain the Back End (that's Tables right?) each user will write their own data. And, no copy of...

    Deployment - where should I start?

    Thanks for your answer Beetle. Sorry – sometimes I say too much, other times, like now, not enough. I need to distribute a stand alone application with licence key. No LAN. How would you do it? Thanks Gemma-The-Husky. You know I’m far from being good enough to write the code to create a...

    Deployment - where should I start?

    Hello About deployment. What's your view on Keyed Access from http://www.peterssoftware.com/ka.htm? Is it a straightforward shortcut to deploy my db? Or should I knuckle down and learn how to do it myself from scratch? I looked at http://www.sagekey.com/installation_access.aspx But...

    Is it a very dumb question ?

    Thanks JBB - way WAY better than my effort. Good luck Alvis - next time somebody asks this question I'm gonna give JBB's answer and pretend that's how clever I am. (not really). Well, a bit really

    Is it a very dumb question ?

    First of all, there are some big hitters on here that know a very lot more about access than me - I might only be one page ahead (or behind) Alvis in the manual, but please don't have a pop at me for an inelegant solution. It's my best effort. There I've apologised in advance. Here goes then...

    Help needed please.

    In your table of ResponderInsAndOuts (or whatever you call your table for that) you need two Fields called TimeOut and TimeIn. Format for the fields is Date/Time. On a form you need 2 buttons (don't use the Wizard to make them) Button1 is called "TimeOutCmd" Button 2 is "TimeInCmd" You also...

    Is it a very dumb question ?

    Hello Alvis, JBB's solution is perfect, however, might it be you want the user to decide how many records he wants? if yes, here's how I might do it Create a query with column to count the records set the criteria for that column to read off your user's form Text Box I haven't got the...

    Trying to get started.

    Sorry GKing, my software is (I think) too old for .accdb files - I can't open your file to have a look at your DB. Might you post a screenshot of the Relationships window?
