Yeah well, software is software Pat. It's the same regardless of what it is. Is that not the case? Heck I promise people I can do things all the time with any given platform only because I know it's possible and that the platform has the resources to do it. I worry about the details later. :p

I'm not sure you can receive private messages sir. Did you get mine?

hi all, Sorry to post this here. I know it isn't quite fair. I am unfortunately a little over-extended on my projects due to scope creep issues that were forced and I'm wondering if there is anyone here I can farm out small updates to and pay them for it? If this can belong in another forum...

Gina, The people that I work for generally don't have much money to spend on projects like this, and therefore they wouldn't buy SQL Server licenses. Basically all they want is different rights for different users. Heck, for that I can simply write some customizable code that shuts specific...

Hi guys, This thread explains a little bit: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=243395 How have you guys handled the fact the ULS has been discarded with the new file formats? I have a file right now that I am looking at and the ULS dialogs still show all of the...

Pat, what do you mean by this? I'm not getting it. clarify?

hi again guys, Does anyone know if the issues with these textbox properties have been fixed in any version? These things have never worked for me and I've always had to 'BS' my way through the development because I can never seem to get them to work. Does anyone know of any specific...

Yes. And along with that I would say that change for the sake of change will now happen until the very end is reached. Why? I don't know. But let us not forget that because China and India have now been forced to learn the American way, Africa is next in line. Personally, I'm waiting to see...

No doubt. MS is probably the king of supression in terms of leaving others behind. That's good to know about Acc 2013. Can you give me any advice on the forward compatibility of FE/BE Acc apps (not web/client, but just local apps) if they are developed in 2007 and/or 2010? I know there's a...

what other info do you have regarding 2013 and why it apparently is so "great"? Did they basically use that as a catalyst to meld themselves into the global web like everyone already did years ago?

Pat, I've always enjoyed your responses as I know you've been at this for decades now. :) Aren't web-based databases (in terms of the name only) available from 2007 onwards? I think that's an option in 07 if I remember right. Or is that starting in 2010? Your information is unbelievably...

this is great news Mark! It doesn't seem like the semantical issues mean absolutely anything anymore. that's great news, because it makes life easier for us developers. essentially what that means for me is that I can develop Access in a variety of ways and really not have to care about the...

No Mark, actually it isn't clearer. :) It all looks like the same thing to me. Just semantical differences, at best. I think the only issue here is whether or not one method over the other will result in easy entry for the user through the GUI. Is that not correct? That's what the ultimate...

I like building apps that generally display data in the format presented by continuous forms. (one record per line). However, I also like providing separate forms for adding records one by one. There are so many options for this stuff (adding, deleting, editing). But I'm really into...

a self referencing table? can you clarify this for me a bit? I'm not sure I'm following...

all, I have some requirements whereby there are many reports that are needed to be given to the employer. I had an idea the other day and I wanted to run it by you guys. The reports can be categorized in a hierarchy (like everything else in this world of course): => Type => SubType => Name...

all, Does anyone have a resource for this on the web anywhere? I believe a sharepoint BE with an Access FE is just a data stream isn't it? I don't think the displays are actually form objects, they're just representations and the data in the background streams to and fro. Does anyone have...

whops! I can't believe I missed that! thanks.

newer versions of office *are* 32 and 64 bit. what you just said is justified immediately by the initial text on this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg278832.aspx way to go. thanks. :) However, see the attached image for the VBA version in Office 2007. It's 6.5. So...

all, do the functions in this lib ever change? I'm dealing with deployment environments that range from windows XP all the way up to windows 8. If I reference functions in this lib by declaring them in VBA, does anyone think there will be issues with this across that huge span of OS's? thanks.
