Hi CJ thanks for the insight Cliff

Hi all Has anyone had any dealing with Azure and connecting to tables. I'm trying to research ways of connecting my database backend to people in both the UK and USA any ideas or guidance would be gratefully received. Some have said a mixture of VPN and Citrix/Terminal Server, but on the...

Thankfully the Boss has put a stop to that

Hi isladogs yes I've downloaded the theme manager and it is very good, I've changed one of them for the corporate default so I can revert the db back. Cliff

:D:D:D what a wonderfully wicked idea...

Hi MajP that looks brilliant, I will bury it in my DB then uncover it when needed :D

Hi All Update of the colour changing forms. My boss was over here for a few days and asked my how it was going, when we are going to roll it out etc. He wasn't best pleased that I was "Wasting your goddam time doing this h****s**t" (he is American BTW) so that has been shelved. I really have...

Cheers Uncle don't think the boss will want me paying for something like that but good call

Cheers isladogs great little colour changer. I've just got to alter it a little so that when a user changes the setting it is saved for that user only and everyone else who feels the need to change the default setting...that reminds me need a default button on there somewhere Cliff

Hello everyone, I'm quite advanced with writing my Technical Support database, so far that we are about to roll it out to users in the States (using a mixture of VPN, form timing and other things my IT bod has helped with). It has been well received but now one of the test users has said...

Cheers, Have a good Christmas, I'm off soon until the new year :)

is it the me.txtGLA bit or the GLA of the childDetials table that it is highlighting?

Wow Thanks Colin. I have started to work my way through the code based on the ideas you gave me, this gives me some extra things to think about implementing. I normally develop one part and test it to see what goes wrong then 'bug fix' I know what I want to do and I tend to write it in...

Hi Colin many thanks for that, I've mainly developed desktop databases with multi-user access so remote access is really new to me - I found it easier in the days of replicated databases with a master and slave databases. Just a quick question, would you use the active controls dirty function...

Thanks for the warning. I will start with 10 minutes and tweak them as I see which ones are used the most. It might be worth my while logging the form/control usage on the lesser used ones

Thanks for the correction James

Thank you Doc_Man for your insight. I had an idea that it would not be as straight forward as just getting the VPN going and set up the terminal server. What a fantastic idea of putting a last Touched function behind everything, I will definitely be implementing that. We are a small to medium...
