I think I'm getting somewhere as a programmer, I really do...But you've impressed me greatly here. I just haven't done any of this kind of interface, and it's brilliant and inspiring. I'm also going to take the effort to make myself use classes more as I know that's my weakness being...

" Basically speaking, management does not know what they want until they see it. We may think they will not ask for it but they don’t even know what they want. " Yes that's my whole world.... Picture class IS little pixelated but only on curves and very little need for curves in the project...

That's the best damn thing I ever saw. I'll be looking at that extensively for inspiration!!! thank you sooooooo much, looks great. Needs a lot of work but has the framework of what i need and is a great proof of concept.

The problem is management wants to see 2-3 months in a go minimum...the scrolling is happening anyway for longer term stuff...And coding for continuous forms so limited hard to see it working, with drag and drop i need it to respond and tell me exactly where it is...I'm still trying to wrap my...

Thanks for the reply Chris...This is kinda where I'm going, except using the picture control instead of the command button. The subform usage hadn't occurred to me though I'm still not sure how you mean? basically a strip of horiz and and a strip of vert controls? that won't give the look of...

While it would be a hassle I could see how I might be able to make a query that loads all the data re: timeline. What I don't see is how I could add data too it, especially with drag and drop...i need to fire a function when the data is dropped on the cell...all unbound controls (or otherwise...

Update: I tried a continuous form....it works awesome except I need unbound controls in there which apparently won't work with VBA since all rows end up the same when the control is unbound....Arggggh! Anyone know a way to make that work, I can't find any :(

I'm working on plant management software for the company database... Its a very robust database that does a great deal...this is the next hurdle and probably the hardest, if only due to memory management. We have a bunch of machines and we want to track where and when they are working into the...

thanks again. Tragically processed and applied. The critical difference between this individual and my problem lies in his statement here: "This stuff matters to anyone moving their Access apps from a 32 bit OS to a 64 bit OS. We're not talking about Access itself here. The default...

yeah looked, can't find any reference to a 64bit equivalent.... Thanks for trying though. I'm desperate for some out of the box solution, so anything is welcome.

Fist, thanks for responding. Yeah I know. I just know nothing about the API so it's feedback may be useless with out a lot of research, and I have tight time restraints. Its seems to be a common problem and 90% of posts I see say un-resolvable actually - I just find it hard to believe. Also, I...

Actually....nothing happens. Joking!!! Its a common public routine for calling the windows open file dialog and retrieving a path/file name as string....it should just open the dialog and return the string, and is returning null on machines with 64-bit office (all windows version are 64bit but...

Yeah Yeah, I know. But seriously, it just doesn't. To elaborate further though: Declare Function ts_apiGetOpenFileName Lib "comdlg32.dll" _ Alias "GetOpenFileNameA" (tsFN As tsFileName) As Boolean got changed in 64-bit systems too: Declare PtrSafe Function ts_apiGetOpenFileName Lib...

Well...I think it is a PTRSafe Question anyway... :) I have a large, complex VBA driven database I develop at work. Its all written by me except a bit of API code I found license free on the net for calling windows open file dialog boxes. Anyway, its suddenly come to my (urgent) attention that...

yeah i found the same thing! code linking it to outlook has been even worse ;)

Thanks for the reply I'll dig through it :) I know I'm vague... Its actually open as to what we'll need to do. but any extra excel code is a blessing, thank you

really? huh. i guess in 99% of situations i open a report in print preview. never noticed this till now! thanks. something tells me i will be back here soon lol...

I'm so lost on this one. I have a claim form; you fill it in, hit submit and it copies data to the report for printing. the only way to do it is in dialog mode; i need background code to halt while they fill in the form and wait for the submit button to be pressed. frankly, i'm having trouble...

:) as so often happens i can't add to your reputation any more till i spread it around lol this means you have helped me often. thanks again.

thanks so much worked a charm :)
