Nice, thanks. I just did a similar thing by giving the end users buttons to nudge controls left, right, top, height, and width. Those values are saved in a local table in the front end. It was easy to do, but extremely time consuming to make. Yours might be faster to implement.

It really shouldn't make much of a difference. If speed is an issue, the more likely culprit is either poor normalization of the backend, or a poorly built front end. I had this issue recently with one form in particular, and I fixed it by removing a subquery.

When it comes to manipulating the focus I have found it is best to use the timer event to ensure the form is loaded all the way.

The JStreetRelinker might help you.

Is it okay to change event procedures with the form in form view? Up to now, I've avoided this like the plague, but if there is no code running, I don't see how it would hurt. Do we have to be in design view while writing code?

It seems that I fixed the issue by removing the subquery.

What is the front end interface? If it's PHP, then you simply loop over the recordset and write the HTML combo box for each record...kinda like we might do in VBA. That's what I love about this, the concepts are all the same, just the syntax changes.

Is it just a hobby you are working on?

dan-cat, give me a bit more detail. You mean the pictures that are sometimes at google.com? Vassago, dev is for developer of course. hl is short for hardliner, which was my nickname back in college. I happen to be atheist, so I think it is funny that it sounds like devil.

You can interpret my name however you want! There is a bit of meaning to it, but that isn't it.

I finally did it. I think I've owned the url for over a year now, but I didn't really know what I wanted it to look like. I've also got my Access addins posted there. Since they are executable, the mods don't want them here.

I have a thread in the sample code forum. It is called something like Refresh Combo Boxes. It is a routine that can be called to requery all combo boxes in any open form. That might help you.

True, but at the time when I had 2010, all of the machines I was deploying to were 2007. I put in tons of work and tried to test it on the end user's terminals and got an unrecognized database format error. I had to go to an old backup, move it to an mdb, and redo much of my work over. To me...

I absolutely hate the 2010 ribbon. The whole backstage concept is bad. I like it in 2007. I modify the ribbon without any issues, and all of my navigation in this project is done in the ribbon. I've removed as much of the defaults as I can. The only default navigation I have not been able...

I fixed this already by setting dirty to false. I'm not sure how this is required though.

I have an odd error occuring. I have two forms. One is frmOverview and has four subforms that give a synopsis of different missions. These subforms have hyperlinks that go to the frmMissions were data is added or edited. If I use the hyperlink to go to MissionID=1 and try to edit any field...

Don't waste your time. Having unused queries wont hurt anything. If you do go and change a bunch of stuff, make sure perform name autocorrect is off.

I'm not sure how else to help. This attachment has object names you are using and works fine.

I showed you how to do it in the sample I uploaded. If you can post an mdb I will help.
