So this addin is an mda file that you currently access using the addin drop down? What part is unmanaged? What I did was create the mda and then I wrote managed code that modifies the ribbon to give me my user interface for my mda. I don't need to use the addin drop down at all. Does that...

Were you not able to make a managed version of this?

Maybe I'm not getting something, but I don't understand what you're having trouble with. I've created managed addins in Visual Studio, and VS creates an installer. All I have to do is open it and click next three times and it is ready to go. Why do you need to automate that? My site is in my...

I like to make the autonumber visible but enabled set to false so it is grayed out. This way it is there for reference.

Yeah, that's all we are doing. If you lock down the application and hide the navigation bar it is sufficient to keep the curious out. I guess if you wanted to be more obscure you could create custom database properties. That would keep out those that know enough to get in trouble, but it's...

Nice, thanks. I just did a similar thing by giving the end users buttons to nudge controls left, right, top, height, and width. Those values are saved in a local table in the front end. It was easy to do, but extremely time consuming to make. Yours might be faster to implement.

Hide the navigation pane, create a custom ribbon with startFromScratch=true, disable default toolbars and shortcuts, disable the options button, disable shift bypass. You can also apply these steps to the backend, just use a blank ribbon instead so there is no user interface at all. Here is...

I think it is best to lock down access as best as possible for all users. You should provide all the features that are needed to all users. The access gui is just for developers. If you need to duplicate ULS, it's not that hard, just more time consuming than anything. You would have a table...

It really shouldn't make much of a difference. If speed is an issue, the more likely culprit is either poor normalization of the backend, or a poorly built front end. I had this issue recently with one form in particular, and I fixed it by removing a subquery.

When it comes to manipulating the focus I have found it is best to use the timer event to ensure the form is loaded all the way.

The JStreetRelinker might help you.

Is it okay to change event procedures with the form in form view? Up to now, I've avoided this like the plague, but if there is no code running, I don't see how it would hurt. Do we have to be in design view while writing code?

It seems that I fixed the issue by removing the subquery.

What is the front end interface? If it's PHP, then you simply loop over the recordset and write the HTML combo box for each record...kinda like we might do in VBA. That's what I love about this, the concepts are all the same, just the syntax changes.

Is it just a hobby you are working on?

dan-cat, give me a bit more detail. You mean the pictures that are sometimes at google.com? Vassago, dev is for developer of course. hl is short for hardliner, which was my nickname back in college. I happen to be atheist, so I think it is funny that it sounds like devil.

You can interpret my name however you want! There is a bit of meaning to it, but that isn't it.

I finally did it. I think I've owned the url for over a year now, but I didn't really know what I wanted it to look like. I've also got my Access addins posted there. Since they are executable, the mods don't want them here.

I have a thread in the sample code forum. It is called something like Refresh Combo Boxes. It is a routine that can be called to requery all combo boxes in any open form. That might help you.

True, but at the time when I had 2010, all of the machines I was deploying to were 2007. I put in tons of work and tried to test it on the end user's terminals and got an unrecognized database format error. I had to go to an old backup, move it to an mdb, and redo much of my work over. To me...
