    Best use of Macros

    I just went into Data Macros and the interface looks the same as any other macro. In that case, you should be able to just click in the white space, then Ctrl + A to select all, and Ctrl + C to copy. Then, open a new one and Ctrl + V. You can paste it elsewhere to see the XML :)

    Solved Replicate Text Box in Continuous Form

    What happens if employee time needs to be updated/modified? That happens all the time with timekeeping. Your stored values would be wrong.

    Sending 300 emails using Access 2013

    What domain are the recipients on? Unless I missed it, you never specified. Are they internal, exchange server addresses, or are any of them external, like Gmail? That can really change things.

    I have as well, recently.

    Send email from access using outlook template

    Unfortunately SendObject can only send plain text emails. I do not know what happens if you couple that with a template that is Rich Text or HTML. Perhaps that is where the hangup is.

    Office Upgrade and Database Compare Woes

    That's correct. Also, I wonder if there's something about the 64-bit version causing this? I wonder if 32-bit users are having the same performance issues.

    Custom ID Entry help

    I would still use an autonumber primary key field and make this custom field separate from that.

    Office Upgrade and Database Compare Woes

    In your first sentence you stated you were upgraded from 2013 to 2016; later you want to roll back to 2016. I think you meant that you went from 2016 to 2019. If so, I'm in the same boat. A couple of months ago IT updated us all to 365 which is comparable currently to Office 2019. Haven't ever...

    Gmail notifications for changes made in Google Sheets - The Suite Life

    I turned that option on years ago for a spreadsheet I manage. The main annoyance for me is you get an email every time the sheet is opened as well...that could be either annoying or useful, depending.

    Solved ACCDE hide Ribbon stopped working

    It's possible that you've done more harm than good by dicking around in the registry...my $0.02. I hope not.

    Solved ACCDE hide Ribbon stopped working

    I guess what I meant was that it shouldn't change how this code works. Sorry for the overly broad statement.

    Reports and multiple complex template options - a plan

    Reports are not editable. I think you are going to need to make a Word template, and use VBA code to instruct Access what to do with it. I have no experience with that, though others might.

    Reports and multiple complex template options - a plan

    Well to be clear, it's only possible with a "hack"...like the text box on top of a combo box trick. But the thing is a continuous form isn't really necessary for this design. He only needs to be working on one form at a time, so use a record list, then click one and have it pop up to work on it.

    Refer to calculated field on Subform from Main form

    I can't vouch for it as I haven't used inventory, but there is a working example in the Northwind Traders database from Microsoft. Look in the templates, it may give you some ideas.

    Reports and multiple complex template options - a plan

    I understand your goal and will say that there is a limitation within Access in doing this the way you describe. You can not "cascade" combo boxes in a datasheet or continuous form. That means you can't have a combo box filter a second combo box. The workaround would be to have all the combo...

    Pictures for command buttons, stored where?

    Another option, unless you want more sophisticated graphics, is to use unicode characters. This would work in any version of Access.
