    Making changes to the front end Access 2003

    The MDB for the front end will likely have the same name as the MDE. I don't think there would be a way to import the forms, reports, etc from the MDE. If you can find out the originall author of the database, that is where I would go looking for the source MDB.

    Making changes to the front end Access 2003

    You will need to locate the orignal MDB file to make the changes and then compile the new MDE for distribution. You always have to have the MDB on hand for development so be sure to back it up and store it securely.

    A thought for Christchurch (New Zealand) earthquake victims

    I am surprised that Col did not spot the typo right away and claim that it was another American English artifact. I only spotted it myself in your quote. Well I guess I should make the obligatory grammar punctuation are spelling errir here to keep him happy don't you think?

    Not I. I am on the "bit of fun" (or mighty craic if your are Irish) side of things.

    A thought for Christchurch (New Zealand) earthquake victims

    I learned that Col can hijack almost any thread by posting an anti-American comment and waiting for me to rise to the bait.

    Copyright, When, if ever?

    That is very true. But then, the concept of "real" property is something that is codified and enforced by government. It does not (or did not) exist in some societies. So, by your reasoning I should be able to just take whatever I need. After all, you don't really own anything, except by...

    A thought for Christchurch (New Zealand) earthquake victims

    I didn't say they were human. I said they were Brits. I can understand the confusion though.

    A thought for Christchurch (New Zealand) earthquake victims

    No, I am well aware of Gibralter and it's status as the last British colony. I understand that the Barbary Macaques that so harrass the tourists there are descendants of the original Brits who colonized the place and that they are the only know population of "pure" Brits remaining. I guess I...

    A thought for Christchurch (New Zealand) earthquake victims

    I do understand that there is a Rosetta Stone course in Gibberish. I believe it retails for $495.00 US. Someday I hope to visit Gibber. Isn't that also in the UK? For the life of me, I can't recall the name of the capital.

    A thought for Christchurch (New Zealand) earthquake victims

    I could, of course, make a snarky remark such as "Col is still smarting over the loss of the "Empire" and longs for the days when British colonists could legally oppress the Maori and other indigineous populace." But instead I wonder what pathetic thrills he gets from America-bashing...

    The Best Way to Learn a Foreign Language

    Yes, you know the Brits propensity for adding unnecessary letters to the simpliest of word, such as "programme", "colour" and "aluminium"... :p

    Ignoring the misspelling on "sense", that should be "programmes" should it not? :D

    The Best Way to Learn a Foreign Language

    Let be known to all concerned that I have high regard for the English people and government. Recent comments by me were tongue-in-cheek in response to friendly (I hope) anti-American comments. In no way were they meant to offend. In regards to the language, however, I will venture to say that...

    You got me there, Rabbie. Or a cowboy like King George of the U.S. But poor Col would have never arrived that that brilliant comeback.

    The Best Way to Learn a Foreign Language

    Really? It would be less effort if you merely changed the channel instead of turning it over. I think perhaps you have a floater in your dinges over the terrible humiliations your country suffered in the 18th, 19th and 20th century. Must be tough losing an empire and embarrassing to still...

    To that I can only say "God Save The Queen", whatever that means. Blimey, you blokes are a daft lot. :eek:

    The Best Way to Learn a Foreign Language

    Interesting that the entire world uses "English" as a near universal language - and it is American English in the majority of instances. So it appears when Britian lost the war, they also lost the language. Too bad.

    Unique sequential references

    You could also use an autonumber for this, starting at whatever value you want, and then simply prepend the "Q" and append the "C" when you need to display the numbers in your app. The Q and C would exist nowhere but in your display (or in a "calculated" field in a query of you need a tabular...

    You can't simply rename a jpg to a bmp and get it to work. You will need to convert it to a .bmp (Windows Bitmap) type using any of the thousands of graphics converters out there.
