I was hoping to reduce it enough that Mile didn't see it :D FOR SALE OVERSIZED MAGNIFYING GLASSES Minuscule price

Neat, clean, simple and unclutered --------- I like it

Me ooow. Cor thats opened up a can o worms. I'd take a fresh look at it if I where you 'cuase you'll get left well behind ifn you're not careful Next thing is people will be saying that Linux is not a threat to Bill Gates --- Funny seeing as how he keeps having a pop at Linux or any open...

You may have another problem here as well. You may licence the DB but if the end user has entered data into the tables then they own the data so you must allow them access to it. IF YOU LOCK THEM OUT OF THE TABLES YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF FALLING FOUL OF THE INTERLECTUAL OWNERSHIP LAWS. So if...

Errr don't wish to appear argumentative but have you told Yahoo about this? A good part of Yahoo is run on MySQL. On a half decent server MySQL will support upwards of 500 simultaneous connections without even noticing. I don't know how you can group MySQL with MSDE I think you may be...

here ya go. Mile dosn't like it -------- it's gorra clock :D

While you're 'reading up' have a look at MySQL it's a very real alternative and v cost effective.

Only true to a certain extent. People often make the mistake of believing that MS software is secure. -- Not true. Most Access security is all too easy to get around without trying to hard. One of the big problems with security is that if you put a lock on something then someone will always...

And there in lies your second problem! I suspect, knowing more than a little about our boys in blue, that you are using Omni forms to replicate a standard Police form system yes? If this is so then that is going to be a major problem. But it can be worked around with a little patience. Next...

If your db is looking for 'O' then they would need to be able to either remap their drives or re link to a different source Force your users to use the correct drive mappings. It’s not difficult (even in windows) that way the problem doesn’t exist. If you have no contact with your users then...

. This sounds like you are working on a network yes? What OS's (both desktop and servers) are you running? There are standards (or there used to be ) for namming network drives and everyone having the same maping. It may be better to attack that problem first because no matter what you do...

No! ---- What you have now is an FE (MyDatabase.mdb) and a BE (MyDatabase-be.mdb) If you look closely at MyDatabase.mdb you will notice that it contains linked tables. If you try to open one of these tables in design view then you will get an error mesage telling you that you cant modify the...

Oh don't get me wrong. As I said in my post I solved the problem but I had to go to an International rather than keep it at home. Re valuations are ok but most mortgage companies drag their feet if there is more than one property involved ---- The only way around it is to go to a high risk...

More fool they. They lost out on about 6k in easy money in six months. I know that’s peanuts to a big financial institution but look after the pennies.............

I hate to put a fly in the ointment here but I recently had a problem raising a mortgage on an extra property here in the UK. The reason was that no account was taken of my net asset worth. E.g. I have saleable assets far in excess of the amount I wanted to borrow. I wanted to purchase a...

Ok what Bob has just said is a perfect possibility. Do a quick test.----- shut down your machine and get someone else to log on with your machine (or use someone elses log on) Double this test by using another machine to log yourself on. This may seem pointless but it will prove if its your...

I may be being thick but what command box?

There's something quite wrong here. Applying a db password will not lock out Access it will only lock that db file. Are you sure there was no pasword to start with. The fact that it asked you for the old password would lead me to believe that a password was set to start with. Where does the...

The switchboard is just a form like any other form and the same design rules apply if you want to change its looks just open it in design view. If you wan't to know how the form works look at the code behind it.

Ooops sorry forgot that bit :)
