Hi Folks, Is there anywhere in help that describes acCommands in detail. Clicking F1 while an AcCommand is highlighted only gets you into the 'Microsoft Access Constants' listing where you can find the constant value but not what the comand actually does. eg: acCmdAppMinimize 11 This...

A couple more shortcuts to add to the list: Properties & methods: Edit/Lists/Properties & Methods Ctrl+J Constants: Edit/List/Constants Ctrl+Shift+J Hope this is of some help.

Awesome! Hi MStCyr, Very impressed and I intend to implement something based on this in my DB. The twist is that I want to be able to reset the numbers in the order list on the click of a button so that the order runs from 1 onwards sequentially. Thus, If there are any gaps in the list they...

Hi ssmith, I think your text box is highlighted as it has the focus. Try changing the fromat to flat. I will have a play about and see if anything else comes to mind.

If me.option1.fontbold = false then Me.Option1.FontBold = True end if Hi, My switchboard labels use a function to bold them on mouse over that I got from this forum. I wanted to use the fontbold = false to get rid of the annoying flicker but I am having difficulty referencing the labels. I...

Hi Ssmith, Could you post a screenshot showing the problem as a .jpg or similar. My office PC can't read your html. Regards

You're welcome Hawksesm. Enjoy the forum.

Hi, I had the same request a few months ago. Check out this thread. http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=108451&highlight=find All my find searches, either from the find button or the control+F give the criteria set to 'any part of field' which suits my users. Hope...

Hi SheaLea, To stop the warning messages, use docmd.set warnings = false at the beginning of your code and docmd.setwarnings = true at the end of your code and in the error trap. Depending on the situation, you may be able to use echo off to stop any repainting then echo on after your code...

TWIPs verses resolution Bob, Thanks for the opinion. I think that trial and error is the most obvious way to go. I'll test my db on the best and worst case scenarios and tweak until it is viewable on both. Long time ago I did see something on the forum regarding zooming for different...

DJohnson, I'm not sure that the link ShaneMan posted is actually what you are asking for. If it is, sorry for posting and possibly confusing things. here is how I would takle your problem. If your employees table does not have a primary key, go back to it and set one now. Add a field called...

Bob, I have been doing a bit of form & control sizing over the last few days and was wondering about twips. I have a failry large monitor and reasonable eyesight (when I bother to wear my glasses). The moitor resolution is set to maximun with large icons. My problem is that the first...

RV / Mrs. Gorilla, Well, some people obviously take notice of the 'jello' (jelly to our British readers). I am very happy to be an 'unknown quantity' and regard that as a significant step on the path to forum forgiveness. From minus 10 to +4 in a couple of weeks - somebody must be...

Hi Colin, You're right that you can decline to open spam. The problem is that if the posters are encouraged in any way, they may flood the site to the point that it becomes unusable for the intended purpose. Whoever 'Dowel' is posted some half a dozen adverts. If he/she wasn't discouraged by...

Thanks SJ. Can I ask, is there any merit in using the warning triangle to report spam postings etc? Or does it just make me feel better?

I know the spam pushers could create new accounts to post more crap, but htat would be an effort and they may give up if quickly deleted and blocked? Dowel has flooded the forum with spam this am so he/she could be purged with out much concern for their feelings I would say.

Vassago, I recall reading somewhere that Tokyo had concreted over so much of the area that the reduction in green plants and exposed soil had caused a considerable drying of the local climate. This was to the point where low humidity was a problem. Obviously your experience contradicts that...

Mrs. Gorilla, Thank you for setting me straight. I'm glad I put in the caveat or I'd be feeling a fool (again). :)

Pa3329, Wow. Big house. Not to doubt you, but I couldn't resist trying a Google search on this. There were a number of hits, all of the "useless Facts" listings such as this thread. The first 6 hits were word perfect to your quote. That really is a useless fact :D The seventh, copied...
