    The best FREE software thread

    MsLady, Without wishing to be personal, I am surprised you have such Friends! :D :D :eek: :confused: Please don't be offended - a light-hearted jape.:) My link is for something fairly pedestrian compared to the other nominated software, but I have found it invaluable all the same...

    Stock Market Portfolio database sample

    (anybody got a) Stock Market Portfolio database sample Hi Folks, A friend intends to build a database for his portfolio as a learning exercise with Access. He is pretty much starting from scratch. Does anybody know of/have a sample DB that would be a useful guide to him on his journey? I...

    Like do we apple pie or what?

    I'm assuming that it is rhyming slang: 'Like do we die or what?' Not terribly good grammar, but intelligible. Whatever the motive for posting, and without bothering to follow the links, I suspect that the idea is way off mark. I can see that the sustainability of an environment for humans to...

    Form takes a long time to open

    |Paul, A couple of hops of links from RG and I found this snippet: Maybe your saving technique has a similar effect?

    Forms slow to open

    Great tip. Thanks. Is there a way to check the status of the Name Autocorrect features when the DB loads and, if checked, uncheck them? I suppose, to be polite, they should be reset to whatever they were when the DB loaded. This is already sounding complicated. :eek: Maybe the best solution...

    The Green Lamp

    Len, I read an article on this very subject a couple of years ago. Probably New Scientist but could have been in the Scientific American. The answer, if I recall it correctly, is that the light from these mirriad stars has not got here yet.

    Sending a Form via email

    http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=113988 An almost identical question on this thread. Interesting answer in last response (at time of writing this!) it seems that you can paste a form directly into a report. Hope this helps

    Where'd Everybody Go?

    Doc Man, Firstly, I doubt I would have made the comments were we face to face. Secondly, I assume you read my posts at least twice and I hope that if you did, you were able to see that there was and is no malice on my part. A conversation where one party has a vested interest in things that...

    All Controls in Report Design Not Visible (missing)

    As regular readers will know, I'm green. But I would like to know if your user is editing a copy of the front end or trying to edit a commonly accessed database on a server? If they are editing a copy of the FE, suggest they request whatever report they want from the administrator (you?). If...

    Where'd Everybody Go?

    Yes. Qatar national day - 3rd September. As we have the Friday/Saturday weekend here, everyone is off for the long weekend. :) I know Qatar isn't the source of the majority of the forum posts (I have tried to change that, on a one man crusade basis! :D ) so I don't think that is where everyone...

    Where'd Everybody Go?

    Hi Doc Man, I remember reading reports that New Orleans was a crisis waiting to happen several years before the levees finaly failed. The city has been sinking for a long time. I think everything you have said is fair and true but misses the point. Hard as it may seem, the city should not be...

    Unbound field on form to the report

    A very straighforward way I solved the same problem is to use the Private Sub Detail_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer) event. See the db I posted on this other thread for 2 examples. http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=113760 Hope this is of interest

    tab control is set to transparent but background doesn't show through

    I had a similar problem. My tabs showed grey on my PC even though they were set to transparent. I could, however put controls behind them so that they were seen on every page which saved a lot of duplication for project title and a couple of buttons. I was happy enough with this but when I saw...

    Passing a filtered form record set to a report

    There are a few threads around covering this area (and I have posted on a couple) but none of them seem to be quite what I need (or I haven’t understood them :( ) and I have been going round in circles a bit. I have: • A form that is filtered by 1 of 6 VBA filters called by Select Case code on...
