    filtered lists on a form?

    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'

    filtered lists on a form?

    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...

    previewing forms full frame while designing?

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

    previewing forms full frame while designing?

    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!

    previewing forms full frame while designing?

    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...

    custom database icon

    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...

    previewing forms full frame while designing?

    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.

    custom database icon

    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...

    custom database icon

    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...

    splash screens in 2007

    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?
