inno The Developers Edition of Office allows you to make a run-time installation of your access app which allows one to use it without owning access. Inno does not make an access app "executable" (installing the run-time files necessary to run an access app, not making it an .exe.) I believe...

Packaging Jack, What do you use for Deployment? I have been using the PDW, on almost every install, it gives an error, but works just fine. I am looking for something to handle the errors, and prevent so many reboots, up to 3. Rube

Icons ghudson, Thank you so much. That is exactly what I needed. I found a real simple and inexpensive icon maker that did just what I needed. Thanks a million, Rube

Button icon/image Right. The problem I found with that is I could not get a transparent background to be transparent on the button. A fellow also suggested using an image as the button which was a good suggestion and I have done before. The problem is I already use the camera icon for a button...

Is it possible to manipulate the command button icons that come as the standard choices for a command button? And are there more than the standard list you get when you use the picture builder? Thanks for any input... Rube

We are getting ready to deploy an App tomorrow. Right now we are just using the Packaging Wizard with Dev Ed. It works fine, but every App we have distributed comes up with an error at the end of the installation. Path/File Access error. An unexpected setup error has occured. After this you...

I read a good post about registering multiple ActiveX components where they suggested you copy/register all ActiveX components to make sure a broken reference doesn't occur. My question is, if one does this, do you risk the possiblity of overwriting an existing file and making another App...

Image I actually did that in a couple of apps. They worked fine, but just aesthetically, it wasn't as pleasing to the user. I remember a large client we had that used lotus notes and I always hated some of their buttons because they did not click/react the way a normal button did. Functionally...

Commanad Buttons Does anyone have some button examples they wouldn't mind posting? Also, Is it possible to put an image on a button with a transparent background? I did check the archived posts anf found Peter De Baets' examples of changing button colors, which is nice. But I would still...

Same thing Is there a good book or examples one can view for some of these? I find the same thing, although very functional, my applications tend to be repetitive and boring. Where many of the applications I see in the field have a very user friendly and inviting "feel". Then there are those...

Jay, thanks for all the input. Rube

BeforeUpdate I appreciate the Replies. I got your (both) coding to work. One thing I was trying to do was give immediate feedback, without waiting for them to hit a Button or try to save the Record. I used the following code... Private Sub txtBox_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If...

Wrong Data Thanks for the Response Jack and Jay. Say I have a message table/form. When an Employee puts in their Name, say John Smith, as John types "J" it will prefill saving the employee time, they hit enter and it pulls their messages. Now if we have a Temp for one day or a week, I do not...

One More Question I am not sure I completely understand. I understand the concept of using flags, and performing actions based on this and rejecting bad data. What I dont understand is if I am using a ComboBox, say "cboEmployee", and on the BeforeUpdate Command it doesn't meet a certain...

Chr(34) Wayne, Once again, right on the money, I tried adding the quotes like you would for a string variable, without success, same issue. I found where a user used Chr(34), worked like a champ. If lngReturnVal > 32 Then 'Checks for a Valid Association. varExecutable =...

I have a Code that pulls the Executable for an External Program. When I try to run the program, it runs just fine, but does not pull the actual file, though I know the path is correct. (i.e. P:\Image\Compaq Presario 1200.jpg". If I append the filename, "P:\Image\Compaq~1.jpg", it works fine...

IIf Wayne, I completely forgot all about that. Thanks so much, sorry to hit you here so much.... Thanks again, Rube

ControlSource I appreciate your response. If I put the If statement in the ControlSource Property, it gives a #Name? when I run it. If I put an If statement on the main form, and put in the calculation, it will give an error (because the fields are on the sub form), if put the proper...

I have a box that is a calculation of a line item, [txtPrice],[txtPercent], and [txtQuantity]. This is called the line item total. This form subLineItem, is a subform of frmTicket. The problem is the calculation differs depending on if it is a wholesale or retail base price. Is there a way to...

Access Crash Thanks for the input, I will probably do that. I tested Northwind's Employee example, and I could get it to do the same thing. Thanks again, Chris.
