    Programmatically Link an Object in a Form

    The OLE capabilities of ACCESS have a very big disadvantage: Your database might explode. I had the (bad) luck that different clients asked me to integrate WORD documents and graphic files into an existing ACCESS app. It nearly drove me mad but I had the luck to find a tip in a discussion for a...

    Signatures entered into a form to show on a report

    1.Is the "signature" a graphic file ? 2.Does it need to be protected? If the answer to both questions is positive, then you do not need to learn anything at all, you just need the Grapic Wizard (at www.unsoftwareag.com) for ACCESS. Els

    TxtDocument Feld Launch Doc. in TxtBox

    You might have to re-design your table. You should not store more than one path in one field. Create one field per doc or, if you need an unlimited number of Word docs per record, then you need a subtable that holds the paths (1 field = 1 doc). Maybe you should have a look at the...

    URGENT! VBA and queries

    I think that the format of the date is the problem, try the following: dim varDate oldstkdate = DMin("date", "qrygdsout") vardate="#" & format(oldstkDate,"mmddyyyy") & "#" oldstkarea = DLookup("[areaID]", "qrygdsout", "[date] = " & varDate )

    Auto close form when another opens

    I suggest that you give your users only one single possibility to access certain forms. Then it is not only quite easy to close the undesired forms but data integrity is easier to control. On the other hand, for performance and memory-issues it might be more intelligent to keep certain forms...

    Bonjour, Alexandre, Voilà comment il faut faire: 1.) you create a module-wide variable mLastOnglet 2.) you use the OnCurrent event of the form like follows: me!OngletName.value = mLastOnglet 3.) you use the OnOpen event of the form as follows: mLastOnglet=0 (la première page du contrôle...

    Shell command with variables

    I do not know whether this information might help you, but I found a very elegant solution for these path-filename-related problems. One of my clients (lawyer) wanted to manage his Word-files with ACCESS. Another (office with more than 50 architects) wanted to manage AUTOCAD files. Several...

    Help with Command Button

    I feel that it is a lot of work to write (and to MAINTAIN!) a hand-written list of 30 reports. I would simply use the in-built system tables to read the names of the tables and display them in a 1.) listbox if there is enough space 2.) a combobox otherwise.

    SQL help

    I think this is the biggest pitfall in ACCESS: NEVER EVER call a field or control NAME. This is a reserved word for ACCESS VBA and causes permanent headache. Additionally, I think that quotation marks are necessary.
