Hi Doc Man, Thanks for your reply, it has renewed my faith in things, I was getting very worried about the whole thing. where you say "link the Graph library to your module references" are you just talking about ticking the Microsoft Graph 9.0 Library? And where you say "You MIGHT have to...

Thanks Pat for your reply, I have also since discovered (as you do after posting!) one little fix for one of the problems I was having. The charts retaining the example data in print preview, a bug in Win 2000 and Win XP, a timing issue, the onformat event needs a me.graphname.requery...

Hi All, I am desperate to find an alternative to the rotten, stinking MS Graph. I have an application I've written for vineyards and have about 200 clients. MS Graph is letting me down BIG TIME with some clients graphs showing the data I used when making the graphs not their own, some the...

thanks ghudson for your reply, I will certainly be implementing your call function. Still wondering why this has happened though. I thought for awhile I might have solved the problem, opnce apon a time I never used to be able to make an MDE without compiling the code first but now, for some...

Hi Pat, Thank you for your reply, most of my clients are farmers so they know the ins and outs of tractors and how to grow things but mostly don't have a clue about computers, some are flat out finding the Start button, so everything has to be very easy and simple. I agree that excel is a good...

Hi All, I would like to hear anyones experiences with charts/graphs. I find the Access charts not powerful enough and unreliable. I distribute my databases so need also something that is not complicated for the end user. I have looked into a couple so far and here is my feedback to date...

Hi Pockung, did you find a solution to your problem?. I have just encountered the exact same thing and am dumbfounded, I cannot work out what has happened other than my client has 2002 but has run my database (2000) in the past on 2002 without problem. The latest upgrade is now giving my client...

Hi Chris, Thanks so much for your replies, I think I will leave the on startup thing happening. This method works really well. In the past I was distributing an .exe with the font files in it so if the client didn't have the font, they would click on a button "install fonts" and the .exe would...

Sorry, forgot to add that I have tested this theory and it appears to work but am nervous about distributing as I don't fully understand the nuts and bolts of what is going on. Rach

Hi Chris, Just noticed, G'day mate!, hows the weather in Brisbane, very cold and wet here. anyway, thanks for your reply, I have sinced discovered that I have to have a real copy of the font in the same directory ie copy it from the Windows\Fonts directory. The font must be a new one...

Hi All, I am wondering how BubBob got on with the above code and if anyone else has this working successfully. I have basically got the code to work but must be doing something wrong. I suspect its what I've put in the table that stores the file name. I have entered my font name GILC____.TTF...

Hi Vince, Thanks so much for your reply, where do you suggest the best place to learn unc is? I have heard a bit about it. Does it created any runtime issues or issues with distributing databases? Thanks once again. Cheers, Rachael

Hi, I was wondering if someone could take a look at my code (Access 2000). I use it to relink backend tables on startup which works well on all my computers but I have a client running windows 2000 that reckons he has to relink everytime he uses the program ie the link is not being retained...

Has anyone had any experience going from Win 98 to Win XP? I would really like to hear your experiences and whether your charts (if you have any) work normally or not. I realise Access 2002 has a better charting feature but am stuck with Access 2000 and graph9 for the moment. Rachael

Hi, After recently updating my computer and subsequently to Win XP form Win 98, have had mega dramas. Firstly, nothing would work but after uninstalling and reinstalling Office 2000 and developer tools several times then applying the office, jet4.0 and windows update (most recently the 6 hour...

Well, after many days and long hours spent trawling all types of databasing forums I think I have a solution; The main break through came when I downloaded the winzip command line addons, which I didn't use but it had a section for winzip unzip references (ie what the -a means in the zipping...

I apologise for not being able to do this myself, if I could read the VB language as well as would like there wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately I can't so if someone could kindly even just give me a clue on how to re-jig the code so I can incorporate a retore function in my database, I...

Hi All, I have managed to successfully use the following code to create a backup to A drive function but would like to now be able to restore a file from a floppy disc that has been zipped and put it back. ie do the reverse of what the follwing code does. Would someone be so kind as to tell me...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had any thoughts on this problem. I still haven't managed to work it out. Any ideas at all would be very helpful, even clues to starting points. Thanks, Rachael

Go to tools then options and click on the general tab, check to see if the Track changes box (if its ticked). I find this will change the orientation of a report but not sure about margins?? Just a thought... Rach
