Hope your husband dosn't read this page then! Oh sorry I forgot, your inbox is called "instruction manuals"! :D :D I was actually meaning that your avatar looks v nice, unlike your sympathies towards the opposite sex :D

:eek: I knew there was something wrong with your Avatar! :D

Hmmm, bummer! thanks for that though

Ok easy way. Is there any one control on your form that is always poulated if there is any record to display? I.e. A record ID field is always a good one. If this is the case then use this field for your If IsNul loop your code would go somthing like If IsNull(Me![Mycontrol]) Then...

Put an IF IsNul loop in your code to display a msgbox.Then, when you close the Msgbox, you can use that event to refire the search engine.

Same here I thought it was a downfall of VB so never investigated Just check out a couple of computers and both Home Edition XP/officeXP and XP pro behave the same

Yes but be careful it will close the form that has the focus. could be beter to refer to the specific form that you want to close.

Err "maximise"? :D And then stretch the form boudries to fit the screen :D

Too true but surley if you then open another form that is not Modal this would breach this security and enable the F11 key?

I think I know what you are looking for but correct me if I am wrong. First, I can’t see why you would want to open a form behind your switchboard. Use your switchboard to fill the screen.However, First thing you need to do is disable the windows task bar as this can be used to min. apps...

Hmmmm Not seen that one before. Could be interesting though with a good partner. Bridge by E's huh. I have to admit that I was a social player and the game just wouldn't seem the same electronically. Can't beat a good meal, a couple of bottles of good wine and a few rubbers. Tend to use ACOL...

That must be it.I don't have Exchange drivers on this machine. I hope BF1 is still watching this thread as he may find this little discovery useful. I didn't think anyone used WAB anymore but then again I suppose a lot of people still use what they are used too. By the way I know it's off...

Hi Pat Yeh I forgot about it as well. Just investigated and mine dosn't seem to work like that although the interface is similar. I can't see anyway of linking them either :confused: What version of office/windows have you? I'm running WXP pro and Office XP. Pete

BF1 was talking about the old Windows Address book ----- Saves it's files as .wab I don't think it works quite the same as Outlook. And I could't see a way to directly import that file extension. :)

Glad to help

You can exporrt WAB to different formats so it should be possible to set up a linked file if nothing else. You can then use the generated table to base a form on, I know it is possible to export directly to Outlook and to a .csv file. but I don't think Access can work directly with the .wab...

Heres 2 more for you to look at More buttons Even more buttons

Thanks Rich Yes it is a bit. What I wanted to do is come up with a system similar to Quick Books. I need Asset tracing, Payroll, VAT, IR etc. So the chart of accounts gets really convoluted. Cheers Pete

Ok so you are entering the amount of stock items delivered. How are you working the balance? Is it run as a calculation, a query or manual input on this form? If you run this as a query then you can use that to display the information you require. Run a query against the underlying rs to find...
