I have a form based on a table with several OLE objects in it. Most of the objects are Acrobat *.pdf files and open to the file when I double click on the control in the form. One of the controls links to a MS-Word file and initially opened to give me the entire screen to read the file, which...

Thanks for these suggestions

I thought I could use a command button on a form to run another application. In my table in record contains several maps. I want to build a form that identifies each map in the record and, when I click on the command button, opens the file containing the map (a *.pdf file). There appears to...

Since I am a relative neophyte, I need a little more insight. From your response (by the way, thanks for responding) I am guessing that, when I imbed a object there is a piece of code that gets written and stored somewhere something like my point-and-click query designs getting translated into...

I am starting a project that will use MS-Access to open an external *.pdf file, which I shall imbed as an OLE Object. I would like to go to specific pages in the file rather than go to the first page of the file. Is there a way to do that? My first thought was to store the desired page as a...

To Phil and EmmaJane, The answer to my problem turns out to be simple and it is dependent on how I open the database. If I open using the most recently used pick list, I get the toggling effect. If I open by using the Open Database icon on the file drop down menu, I always get the switchboard...

Phil, Here's a surprise. The copy of Northwind used in my office does not have the switchboard setup as the default opening window. I'll have to set it up and see if I get the same toggling behavior. Hmm, film at 11. Steven

To EmmaJane, Thanks for the offer of your example. I can always use a comparison but maybe try Phil's (scouser) idea first. If I get nowhere with that, I'll ask for your copy as a second example. To scouser, Whoa! I thought these forums were conducted in English. What am I looking at and...

EmmaJane, Thanks for responding. I checked the Startup options and the "Display Database Window" box is not checked. Is your database on a LAN? I wonder if the security setup has any influence on the way this owrks? Maybe that needs to be invoked before I get the behavior I desire and this...

I am rather new to this in spite of being an old geezer so please bear with me; I am weak on nomenclature. I have prepared a small database of specialized definitions used in my office with the intention of posting it on the office LAN for others to use. Part of this effort included setting up...
