The company I work for uses A97 throughout. Although on my laptop I have Access 2003. I want to design my inventory control database using A2003 not 97 for obvious reasons. I know A97 users cannot open a Acess 2003 db. My Q is: If I created a A2003 db and also built some data access pages...

Thanks but sorry forgot to mention i'm still using old A97. Don't think this option is available. Any alternatives or is is called/found elsewhere? Thanks again.

Hi, I am building a stock control database. I have a form called [products]. On this form are two fields. One called [ProdReorder], the other [UnitsOnHand]. [UnitsOnHand] is displayed form a subform called [ProductsSubform]. What I want to know is: What code would I enter (& where) so if the...

There is a good example of what your after supplied with MS Access. Look in the sample database section and take a look at Contact Managment. It features Contacts and calls.

Many thanks for the suggestion. Just tested in: IE - works great! FireFox - just displays html code. the browser does not read the code so unfortunately not a viable option given how many people now use Firefox (me included). Thanks anyway!:)

Many thanks for your reply Sergeant. Off to my ISP I go!:D

Hi, This may sound like a real stupid question but here goes.. I have a customer comments page on my website and want to send out a "how was our service card" to my customers with a link on it. The web page I want them to visit for example is: www.mywebsite.co.uk/webpage.html I don't want my...

Pat, looking at Ideal.jpg in my last post. Is it not possible to skip between the addresses using the tabs somehow? I would imagine it is some way possible, but am I just creating too much extra work? From reading many posts here over the past year or so I understand you have made many many...

Hi, Most of my customers can use multiple addresses eg. Head office/delivery and invoice etc. I am looking for a way to display them easily without using the nasty Record selectors in the subform (see attached "current.jpg"). Datasheet mode looks poor too so if I can avoid this I will...

Just found this on the net http://www.ability.com/sales/products/database.php?ln=uk An alternative to expensive MS Office? Its about time. Has ayone used it? Is it any good? Is Ability Database (£20) a viable alternative To Access. I imagine old Bill is a little ticked off!

Got it working! Turned out to be a problem with the ISP and not me. I changed the mail address in the script to a mail address NOT hosted by my isp and it worked perfectly.

many thanks once again. the only command it seemed to recognise was: ls /usr/bin/sendmail and reported "no such file or directory" so will have to check with my ISP. You have been most helpful. I will use your advise in future: "OK, firstly, telnet is very unsecure. Your password is sent in...

Many thanks for your help and your patience. I went to my webspace via Telnet and logged on. Go the prompt: $ When I type "whereis sendmail" The response is "sh: whereis: not found" I think I will need to speak with my isp. Thanks for your help.:)

Thanks for your reply, This is my 1st web for and as a result a little unsure of exactly how to check this. Is sendmail another script I should find in my cgi-bin or it it aservice that needs to be enabled by my isp? thanks again! if you want to look at it it complete see...

Can anyone see any obvious problems with this script? It is ment to process my web page form. If I fill out the form and sumit it, the thanks you page works, but I do not receive the mail. have tried using different mail addresses so not a problem there. any help would be great:)

neileg, or anyone: With refrence to your comments, do you have a minute to look at this sample? I have built [Form1] on [Query1] is this the correct method? ignore the poor naming - just a test. Any advice is greatly received. Even a simple yes or no would help. Merry xmas all.

Many thanks for your comments neileg, I am struggling to get my head round all this. Think I have been looking at it for too long. Sure I will get there in the end. Many thanks again.:)

I have read quite alot recently on Normalisation/relationships etc. I am building a customer service db (to replace a huge flat file db) to keep track of all our customers. For each customer I want to record information about repairs to their equipment, calls etc. I have however come a little...

Hi, Have been using A97 on XP pro Clients for couple of years (Server running SBS 2003) - Never had a problem. Installs/Uninstalls ok everytime. However. I know it causes a problem if you have had a later version of Office installed at any point. Only other thing I can think of is Network...

RuralGuy, you are indeed a star and a gentleman. It one of those things, you look at something for too long and all goes blured. Sometimes all it needs is a fresh pair of eyes. Many thanks for your help. :)
