    Microsoft Access "10 - Remote Access - Multiple User?

    This is automatic in Access to a point. Here are a couple of scenarios: If two users are both on record 1 and on the same field and one of the users updates that field and then leaves/saves that record. The other user won't see that change until they either leave that field and then re-enters...

    Microsoft Access "10 - Remote Access - Multiple User?

    I don't think you can use any old pc as a server (but I may be wrong). I think you would need to purchase a proper server and install it with something like Windows Server 2008. Then it would act similarly to a normal PC except you would be able to set up multi-user logins. How many users do...

    Insert Value Into Web Form (Frustrating)

    You could switch edits back on when the user clicks in the status box and then turn them on or off again depending on the status they choose. This could be done via the Got Focus event.

    Query on backend hosting

    If you rented a hosted server then this could get costly with that amount of users as you normally have to pay a fee per user per month and extra for software licenses. Having your own server would seem the better option though this would mean you would have to maintain it and if you required...

    Microsoft Access "10 - Remote Access - Multiple User?

    In my experience the best method is to use a hosted server. On this you can install (or the server can do it for you) whatever software you want. This could be full MS Access or just Runtime Access (for extra security) then everything will run as on your local except users will login to your...

    Relative Folder on Image Path

    Sorry, didn't explain that very well but the code in the previous post is VBA and would probably be used on the OnCurrent event. Something like this: Private Sub Form_Current() Dim Path As String Path = Application.CurrentProject.Path & "\Images\" Me![Image1].Picture = Path &...

    Max length of text box input mask? (Access2007)

    Not sure of the limit but if won't let you enter anymore then I'm guessing that's the limit. You could split them into separate boxes and then concatenate them back together afterwards.

    Access2010 Navigation enable problems

    I'm not 100% clear what is or isn't happening but at a guess the problem is at this line and the button should get enabled? NavigationButton140.Enabled = True MsgBox "Should be Enabled but isn't!", vbOKCancel if so try this: me![NavigationButton140].Enabled = True

    Can't find & format section of text within a RTF Memo field

    I've done something similar to this in the past and ended up having to use a table as the basis of the report. So, set up a temp table and when you run your report populate the table using the results from the query. The key here is that the temp table has a memo field in it which the report can...

    Search Form to be empty on load

    Glad you found a solution - just be careful not to type into the first record and I'm sure it will work well. Re setting the thread to solved I think there is a 'Thread Tools' link at the top which has this option in.
