if it helps, the appointment list could be concatenated rather than in columns e.g.: '09:00 - 09:45, Joe Bloggs, Physiotherapy with Clare Jones in Bagshot'

I'm an access newbie so please excuse me if this is a bit of a basic question... I'm constructing a database to record appointments. I want my users to input their appointments on one half of a form (I can manage that bit) but on the other half I want them to be able to see a list of the...

wow - I would never have found that. Thanks!

forgot to add, it basically looks like it does when I open the .accdr file, as if it's opened in runtime.

I've been playing with the settings set the bd to hide the ribbon and navigation and to open a form on startup. Pretty much gave me what I want except now I can't get any of them back! I can see the form I selected to open on startup and it's nearly full screen apart from a very limited toolbar...

Thanks, Mark - that gives me a foothold. Grateful for all your help!

Thanks for this Mark. Sorry to keep asking such basic questions. After being a quite experienced excel user, since I recently started access I feel quite stupid! May I ask you just one more and I promise I'll go to bed... When I click on my database file, access opens with all the tool bars...

what view do you have there? My 2007 doesn't look like this - there's no icon top left. However, my icon has appeared on the taskbar on the tab for an open application - so it must be working! It seems it's just my ignorance of access making me expect to see it where it's not actually going to...

if i open it in form view there is still the ribbon and navigation pane and other paraphernalia and its only around 3/4 of the screen size. I'd like to preview it so it fills the screen as it would be presented to the end user.

ok - I put it in the folder with my database, selected it with access options and closed access. The icon next to my database file is still the default access icon and I can't see the pencil icon anywhere except on the icon file. I'm using vista - are there any other settings I need to change...

the zipped file seems to be a .ico and it won't open...

Is there a way to preview a form you are designing to see how it will look when it's full frame?

I've followed all the advice for creating and installing a custom icon for my database but I'm still seeing the access icon. I've done these things - can anyone see if I've got something wrong? I made a 32x32 bitmap in photoshop. I saved it in the same folder as my database. I opened access...

it looks untidy to see a quick flash of access I think a saw a tip where you usea 1x1 pixel bitmap and it has a similar effect

will using the form method suppress the access splash or do i have to do this separately

wow - you think they'd have that gripped by now! Thanks for the help.

I that that will have to be my next option if i can't do it the simple way. Can I combine that with a 'what do you want to do option' and will this suppress the access splash?

I've changed my splash screen for a database using the method of creating an alternative bitmap. problem is that its not there long enough to read. Is there a time setting for this or an alternative?

I'm such an idiot. Thanks!

Is there an equivalent to Alt-Enter in excel to put a line break in a text box from the keyboard?
