    Really DUMB question about variables

    Ok guys I'm sorry and really embarrassed for asking this, but its so simple and I'm surprised I never ran into this before. When using variables in a forms vba module (not sure the actual name of that, but NOT a separate module, but the one attached to a form), If I declare a variable in the...

    What happened to my help file when pressing F1???

    I have XP service pack 3, but not sure what service pack, if any, for Office. How do I find out. All I know that it was working just fine less than a week ago, and I did no updates to my computer nor did I install any software since, and now it's working as explained. I do remember the...

    What happened to my help file when pressing F1???

    I'm using Access 2007. In the past, up until about a week ago, if i were to highlight an expression in VBA, or something in the properties box in a design view and then hit F1, the help file would pop up with a topic relevant to what was highlighted. If nothing was highlighted, or no topic on...

    Query a mailing List

    Hey guys, I'm back with some problems. I was able to create an automated way to remove about 90% of my customer addresses from the master list, and now I'm stuck with the last 200 or so records. For the record and if anybody else is following this, what I did to remove the vast majority of...

    Query a mailing List

    Thanks for the quick reply. I think I mostly understood you, but by "translate" do you mean to still maunally change the fields? I guess grouping them this way would be easier than comparing 2 tables maunally. I've never used it, but isn't there something like a "like" function? If so do you...

    Query a mailing List

    This isn't so much of a database design question, but I guess more of a suggested technique. What I am doing is taking a master mailing list from the post office for a my town, and I want to remove all of my current customers from that master list. I have imported both lists as separate tables...

    MS Access vs MySQL

    WOW, that was one hell of a response. Thanks!!! you cleared a lot of things up for me with that. I never thought/knew that Access was considered a front end system. Hopefully you are correct on hoping that other people were comparing myslq to jet/ace otherwise I would still be lost. What...

    MS Access vs MySQL

    This is not really a tech support question, but more of a debate/discussion starter about the differences between Access and mysql. Over the past few months I have learned a lot about Access and I also know a "little" about web design and mysql (not nearly as much as I do about Access though). I...

    Deploying DB using FE and BE with runtime version

    Yes, well, I didn't know that the runtime strips out the navigation also, but luckily, my db design included a navigation form anyway, so I lucked out there! Yes, that location on my computer is shared with read/write/delete access and the computer is constantly on, so none of that should be...

    Resizing report windows

    Just tried that and I dont think it works for reports. The message boxs' inside values came out null and the actual setting of them did nothing. When trying to write that code for reports, the Insideheight and Insidewidth options are not available in the "autocomplete" when typing of the code...

    Custom button in access ribbon

    Ok seems to be working now. I did put it in the table USysRibbons. i was using it in a sample database I quickly created. I just copied everything to my main DB, changed a few reference names and it works. The compact and repair on the sample DID NOT work though, but it doesn't matter now...

    Custom button in access ribbon

    Thanks... there is no error now, but when I click the button it just does nothing, no error or anything. I double checked the references, ID's and form names and they all seem correct. Full XML: <customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"> <ribbon...
