Updating the front end isn't really a big deal because I use Bobs FE updater so I'll give that a go too. This is a frustrating problem that will undoubtedly have a simple answer :rolleyes:

Well as far as security, all pcs have the same access and rights. I thought about the theory of different versions. Looking into it further, one pc has Access 2000 SP3 (exactly what I have as developer) and the other pc has Access 2000 with no service packs. Both exhibit the same problem...

I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the "Reports" section, so my apologies if I selected wrong. I have a weird issue that I cannot seem to put my finger on. I have a multi-user application (each user has their own FE and the BE is on the network. I have created a simple bar chart...

I "wish" I could get this place to update, but we're in the stone ages on way too much here and the old guard stomps their feet and cries bloody murder anytime a change is suggested. Hell, we don't even have a server.. we're on a peer to peer network. That causes more headaches than anything...

Yes, you have to be careful of which ones are not on the up and up. A few of them are ok and due diligence about them can be rewarded. I used one the last time I was laid-off. It wasn't much and it helped provide a little extra cash, but more importantly, helped occupy my time. Like anything...

Since we're in the dark ages here at work, I'm stuck with 2K. But I have 2K3 at home. Curious about your question now Haha.

Gemma, I agree with what you said whole-heartedly. I do find it sometimes difficult to change the way I present things, especially when the end-user has a completely different way of thinking about it. Isn't that the truth that no matter what you do in your apps, some one will find away around...

One point of contention of allowing a user to install their own app from the server. Many of the larger companies I've worked for won't allow the pC user admin rights to install anything and in most cases requires IT involvement. At that point, I usually just provide installation instructions...

I use a lot of list views also. I always try to accomplish something with a single or double click. For the basic users I refer to, the less they have to do the better. I'm glad you mentioned designing the UI around the workflow and not the data. That's something I've always tried to do. I...

Looking for some design thoughts on keeping my DB applications "user-friendly." Like most of you I have a certain "signature" or method as to how I like to see my databases setup/designed. For example: I tend to incorporate menu bars & tool bars into my apps instead of using a menu/switchboard...

I don't think I've ever run into this, but what happens if you uncheck "Use Special Access Keys" in the startup options? Also, is there anything in your form code (load, unload, etc.) that may be causing this? <<Sorry... you posted your solution while I was typing >>

I use this free CD burner software all the time: CDBurnerXP A free software that is comparable to MS Project is: Open Project A free installation wizard/packager: Inno Setup

Create a report and use the label wizard.

Make sure the "Can Grow" property for the report text box is set to "Yes"

This is a nice tool too. But, using this one, you need to make sure each PC that will be using the database has this installed. The beauty of using the Lebans code, is you just call the procedure. There are two dll files that need to be put on the PC using the database, but I have basically...

Thank heaven's for Fishbowl! (Disclaimer: I don't work for them nor do I represent them :p )

I have one database here at work where everyone has a copy of the front end stored on their local PC. This "user" front-end is converted to an MDE file so the users cannot make design changes, etc. Most users also only have Access Runtime installed so they can't get to anything anyway. I am the...

I use Lebans PDF module. It works like a charm. If you're using Office 2007, I believe you can do it without the module. Namliam is correct though... since you have the pdf printer installed, just print to that.

Hi Everyone, I've been poking around ad this for a few days and can't seem to come up with an answer. I am using an old school batch file calling the xcopy function to back up some OEM equipment files. IF EXIST C:\BackupLog.TXT GOTO LOG :CREATE ECHO Backup Log > C:\BackupLog.TXT ECHO. >>...
