CHM is a Compiled HTML Help File. It's a very common file used for documenting Windows applications ever since Windows 2000. You can create them using Microsoft's HTML help workshop: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21138 There are many good tools out there to make this...

No, never seen that one! I wonder why... Sorry I don't know more. SHADOW

I have had absolutely no problem running Access 2003 on Win 8. SHADOW

I've read this in the past but this leads me to wonder what the benefit of the encryption would be if this is the case. That would be like developing an anti-pick lock but keeping the key in it all the time. Is there some other setup where an encrypted .accde file would be of value? SHADOW

I didn't open the application but one of the most important things you can do to speed up a split database is to create a persistent connection in the front end that doesn't close until you close the program. Have you tried this? SHADOW

I'm not sure why you say that objects in Access 2003 can't be linked to external objects. I store the path to objects as data in a table all the time and then a bit of code can open the object. SHADOW

I'm not quite following what you are saying about the problem with the form. The way I usually do data validation is from the table level. That way any form designed will be guaranteed to not permit a user to enter invalid data. I don't need to worry about coding up every form or if the user...

Either way. You can either set the Report's record source to a saved query/table or you can write the query right there in design view. SHADOW

Oh, so you mean designing a database object, not data entry? That's a big difference. Thanks for the clarification. SHADOW

Hi Pat Can you please elaborate on this? What do you mean by: "it will cause problems for you if you are trying to update a form or other object and some other form has a timer event going" At first glance, this means that if I am using an Access database and entering data into one form and...

First, I want to say Good Move on splitting the database and giving each user a copy of the front end. :) Second, there are many ways to do this. Bob Larson has a tool for deployment: http://www.btabdevelopment.com/ts/freetools There are others you can check out as well if you dig around this...

Nicki: I am not familiar with the Bluecoat Optimisers but in general, it's not a good idea to use MS Access over a WAN. Albert Kallal has a really good explanation of why this is and I recommend you read it: http://www.kallal.ca/Wan/Wans.html Your best bet is to either use a web database...

Track Name Autocorrect and Subdatasheets could also make a BIG difference. SHADOW

If the application is put in the same location each time, then setting the location as a secure location on a one-time basis should help. I assume the user is using a full install of MS Access rather than the Access Runtime. SHADOW

Get rid of the outer brackets... SHADOW

You can't change it back. But if you changed it to ACCDE, then you must have the original, right? SHADOW Edited to say: Paul beat me to it by seconds!

If you reduce the margins on a one time basis, you won't have the problem in the future, and neither will your user :) SHADOW

Well, how about a right click menu that the user can right click and select Page setup? SHADOW

I don't think it does. What's more likely (just guessing here) is that the printer on the test computer is a different model or uses a different driver or something like that, which can cause the margins to be regarded slightly differently and cause the white space. What you might consider...

Are you using Access 2007/2010 and there are people working in the back end? Meaning, your database is split and everyone has their own copy of the front end with a connection to the back end, while you are trying to work on your own copy of the front end. SHADOW
