I have been experimenting with one of these volume license keys (also for 2019, it turns out) and can't get it to work. I've tried running setup.exe with and without a configuration.xml file, with media from varying sources, and in all cases get the error "This product key is for the...

Out of curiousity, could you share (here or by dm) which vendor you used? I'm attempting the same upgrade path (i.e., 2007-2019) but the key and media I got don't play well together, so I'm looking for alternatives.

There definitely are several ways to skin this cat. Most are form-specific, which I'd like to avoid if possible. Intuitiveness, if that's a word, definitely is in the eye of the beholder. Getting one's head into the Apple UI metaphor (or GNOME, for that matter) helps a great deal and not...

Colin, I've always found you to be quite clever and this approach makes a great deal of sense for many reasons. Throw in some anchoring and resizing and even more so. I'll need to re-engineer how I re-set the link fields properties after Access reconfigures them sui generis when the source...

Somehow, I can't get the Click event to fire at all. DblClick fires when done on the vacant portion of the tab row.

Thanks. I'm familiar with the object model. Double-click events occur for all objects and work normally. No Click event occurs for the tab control when clicking on either the tab itself (whether active or not) or in the vacant area of the tab row. The DblClick event does not occur when...

Thanks. A transparent command button would seem to be the extent of available solutions, or perhaps relying on TabControl.DblClick and clicking in the space unoccupied by the tabs. To your question, "why do it?", the idea is to have a generalized behavior such that the double-click on an...

In the realm of stupid questions, but I've not had to do this before and my Google-Fu has failed me: Which, if any, event occurs when one double-clicks on a TabControl object's tab, perhaps otherwise referred to a Page object's tab? More specifically, on the active tab / tab for the active...

For those interested, what I came up with is as follows. By way of background, the Access methods and properties all place the form in question in, or relative to, the Access client area, or canvas. My objective, however, was to mimic Windows Aero effects and place it relative to the screen...

Not necessarily. The NTFS / Windows authorization construct indeed is incapable of establishing user or group permissions for files. The best it can manage is to enforce them at the directory ("folder") level. So, a hacker with file access has full access to the code. Still, if objects...

I'm not wasting my time by asking questions. And again, don't mistake rigor for advocacy. The question then becomes, by whom? I'm not looking to fend off the NSA or the GRU. Holding off meddlers and laptop thieves is more the objective. The mathematics of probability tell us that the...

That is (or those are) the questions, of course: Are these deprecated or hidden for security or other reasons? If the former, why (and specifically what is meant in this case by being "deprecated"), if not, are they usable in whole or in part, why or why not, and if so, how? Seventeen years...

@The_Doc_Man , that's interesting, and thanks. You've sparked my curiosity. I understand you to say (more or less) that the data structures remain but the code referencing them has been disabled or removed. If you know, what did the msaccess.exe code referencing these data structures do (or...

That's not hard to imagine. 2007 was a heavy lift and a number of things (e.g., abjuring a property to configure Form.Mousewheel behavior for an unconfigurable change in behavior) seem slapdash, driven by product marketing deadlines. It's also not hard to imagine, e.g., that the Active...

Pat: Thanks for responding but why is it that they aren't useful, though? Do they not work with ACE or an ACCDB? The properties and objects seem well designed, and close or identical to what I'd think to implement in their absence. Is there a reason not to use them? Besides that being a...

I've been aware for some time that ACE hid a number of objects and members (i.e., properties and methods) that previously had been exposed in JET / DAO 3.6, in the 2003-2007 transition. The Group, Groups, User, and Users objects are hidden altogether, as are properties such as Owner, UserName...

I'm not programming at that level but that makes perfect sense. A variable has to be a data structure of some sort. A Null return based solely on a type evaluation would be computationally more efficient by gating address or value evaluation with a bitmask, which then also would provide a...

Because that's what prints in every other case of Null.

Further through the responding posts, you'll see that the expression's return value is Null but it prints the string "Null" (without quotation marks) to the Immediate pane, instead of not printing anything. Str(Null), Hex(Null), and Oct(Null) all do the same thing.

I guess so. I just looked it up myself (Section 2.1): "A single distinguished value corresponding to the reserved identifier Null" represented as "An implementation specific bit pattern " So, definitely a constant. I wonder what the bit pattern is. Str(Null) also prints (not returns) Null...
