    I completely agree. Dreamweaver uses extensions, much like wizards – code is created and can be modified. It is very difficult to explain, one would really have to use Dreamweaver in order to see what I am talking about. Dreamveaver sites and .Net projects can actually be intergraded...

    That is my point – the amount of work it takes to get the VB.Net applications to run properly on other platforms/browsers. If my intention is to build a full blown web application – I would use .Net. If I simply want to create a search feature, shopping cart, or dynamic content interface to...

    How to Keep track of Documentation for BE / FE Revisions

    I generally cerate a command button on the main menu that opens the reporting database. Report users create can be intergraded at a later point in time by the developer (you). Allowing users to create reports in the application will only lead to confusion and frustration. They may...

    low level security

    You need to digitally sign your project to suppress the security warnings. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa141471(office.10).aspx

    Access Developer Edition VS Access Runtime

    Access Runtime is Free- you need the Developer Extensions to distribute your application. You don’t purchase runtime licenses, just the Developer Extensions.

    Access RunTime

    The FE should be installed on each local PC - the users should not all be using the same FE file from a network share.

    cant save into a specific pc from citrix

    It is likely that the user’s Email profile is on the local PC – not on the Citrix server. You are trying to make your application work in two totally different environments – the Citrix one and the local one. This won’t work because Citrix’s core design makes it independent of local resources...

    Random Shutdown of Access Application

    For bound forms, in place of the docmd object for saving the current record, I use: If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False Could the 3rd party class module be causing the issue? For example - what if the email server name is incorrect within the application and the class module is not handling the...

    Random Shutdown of Access Application

    Sorry - I should have said "Access may shutdown" instead of "Access will shutdown". Calls to Windows dlls do not raise exceptions and the environment could be configured not to message users if a run-time exception occurs. Also, if you are developing in Access 2003 and the users have Access...

    cant save into a specific pc from citrix

    I would just create a function to send an email directly to the outgoing mail server (SMTP) and not use a mail client (MS Outlook). http://www.paulsadowski.com/WSH/cdo.htm

    Random Shutdown of Access Application

    Access will shutdown if the application is running in Runtime mode and an untapped error occurs. Make sure EVERY procedure and function has an error trap. DON’T use macros (unless they are for a Menu) Sub Test() On Error GoTo Err_Trap 'Your Code Err_Trap_Exit: Exit Sub...

    How to Keep track of Documentation for BE / FE Revisions

    Yes – that is exactly what I do. If I want to make sure they can’t change the data – I would create a routine that runs every morning to copy the BE to another location. Then point the ad-hoc FE to the copy – this way users can’t unintentionally mess up the data. Link

    Your thoughts

    I use Dreamweaver for the majority of my projects. You can create a SQL Sever database with MS Visual Web Developer and still use Dreamweaver for the webpage creation. The main advantage of Visual Web Developer is “Web Forms” which are very much like windows forms (found n MS Access, VB) but...

    How to Keep track of Documentation for BE / FE Revisions

    You could keep your changes in the FE and the users changes in the BE. A union query cam be used to pull the results. I personally put my change log in the FE. This approach is great when you are looking through old FE files. You can always tell what version you have because the change...

    cant save into a specific pc from citrix

    It sounds like someone is trying to use the Access application outside the Citrix environment. All users (and the developer) should be logging into the same Citrix server to use the Access application. Nothing should be stored on the user’s local PC.

    Open the subform in Form View. From the menubar choose Format > Row Height. Set the height to 25 – select File > Save from the menubar, close the form.
