    Inconsequential Query

    That was the point I was making in post #10 Using Phone Link, the tablet can use the phone's Internet connection where it isn't connected directly using Wifi. Correct?

    Solved Code not save when at runtime

    I'd have thought if you did that too often, it would be your wife who was reliably gone . . . 🙄

    Solved Code not save when at runtime

    And of course I only know to do this from the multiple times I’ve forgotten, run my updated code and lost all my changes.

    Solved Code not save when at runtime

    NEVER run code unless you have saved it first. If it crashes or you close the database, all those code changes will be lost

    Solved Query to find users not currently assigned to equipment

    I wrote the article partly to provide evidence that using a subquery isn't always the optimal solution to every problem. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. Subqueries can be very useful and are often the only way to solve particular problems. However, using subqueries as the first...

    Solved Query to find users not currently assigned to equipment

    In my limited tests, the fastest approach was the simple unmatched query, significantly so for non indexed fields and marginally so for indexed fields It would need more tests to make a definitive statement about the efficiency of NOT EXISTS vs an unmatched query. However NOT EXISTS is...

    Solved Query to find users not currently assigned to equipment

    Some time ago I did some tests comparing the efficiency (speed) using 3 different methods of finding unmatched records: NOT IN / NOT EXISTS and an unmatched query using IS NULL. By far the slowest method is NOT IN as it cannot make use of any indexing. I would strongly advise using one of the...

    Full rebuild; migrating old tables and lots of other fun stuff. General pointers requested.

    For steps 1 & 2, I would create a new blank database and link to the existing tables but not import them Make a local copy of each table. Table structure only without copying the data. Now modify each table as necessary fixing field names, adding validation rules etc. Then create append...

    Seeking a Moderator for the Moderators

    As this is an Access forum, perhaps a (Y)ule of mods - as in module . . . 🤣 Or a rater of mods . . .OK sorry I'll stop now As for the mod of mods, I think the ideal characteristic would be to do the job so well, they would make themself redundant. In this particular case, I think that has...

    How can I create an Access extension for editing code following a particular key combination?

    I'll just add one final comment before I ignore all future threads from you. Feel free to ignore me as well. Back in post #2, I gave you outline instructions on how to remove / add line numbers. You made no mention of that in your later responses. I deliberately didn't give you the code as I...

    How can I create an Access extension for editing code following a particular key combination?

    Despite the numerous questions of this type that you post, and the often lengthy and detailed responses from many experienced developers on this forum, I have never yet seen you provide a working example that you have then gone on to code yourself. If I'm wrong and you have created useful code...

    How can I create an Access extension for editing code following a particular key combination?

    This looks like yet another of your many purely speculative questions that you have no intention of doing. As you stated, VBE add-ins such as MZTools & VBE_Extras do the job perfectly well so its probably a purely academic exercise. However, you could in theory do this with VBE Extensibility...

    Access form in Office 365 is minimized when opening from Excel using Docmd.Openform

    Yes I did! Its now working perfectly again for me. I changed the order of your code and added an extra line .UserControl=True It now also works with .Visible = False though that makes no difference as Access is still displayed As @arnelgp suggests, the Access interface (not the form) could be...

    Access form in Office 365 is minimized when opening from Excel using Docmd.Openform

    Tested in 365 Current Channel version 2510 build 19328.20244 64-bit It works reliably and consistently for me with .visible = true. Double click anywhere in Excel. Access opens specified database & opens the form normally. I had moved it to a different folder and set the location as trusted...
