I purchased an HP 18.5" 1366 X 768 monitor. Very successful so ordered two more. They are VGA. What I found to be best was to leave Toshiba Portege on its native resolution of 1920 X 1080 then in settings/display make the 2nd monitor the only monitor. This also stopped the Toshiba screen...

It is very simple and is not really that different to when you get a new computer. In fact after it is done if go to File Explorer it would look just like a new computer you bought and tuned on for the first time and them went through the various things the computer takes you through. I have had...

He probably needs to know that to get to Control Panel he needs to enter that in the search box at bottom left for it to come up and then he can pin it to the taskbar.

Whether you have i3, i5 or i7 the time difference won't be that much different. I have an old HP with Intel Celeron and the computer was originally Windows 7 and was converted to W10 when Microsoft first introduced that free conversion to W10. It takes quite a bit longer to actually start up...

Thanks for that and I order the monitor this week.

I can come down to 1280 X 960 on the Toshiba Porteges but what happens is the whole screen shrinks so you have maybe a gap of an inch or so all around what you are looking at. Basically I have done about every on the Porteges you can so and none of it is very successful. If the 20" 1366 X 768...

Thanks for your time. Over and out.

Right, so you think plugging a 21" 1366 X 768 Monitor into the Portege with 1920 X 1080 should be fine. Would you expect the 1366 X 768 Monitor plugged into the Portege to look the same as if plugged into a 1366 X 768 HP Laptop?

As I said above I have done the one where the laptop is 1366 X 768 and the monitor is much higher and that works as expected in that the monitor is limited by the computer output and so you just get a larger size and if you are eagle eyed and fussy with resolution you will notice the Monitor is...

I have done that as well as drop resolution on the Portege to 1366 X 768 but it is not real good as I have always found I get eye strain when I move from the laptop's native resolution. This was never a problem for me before but I has to go on a medication and one of the side effects is poor...

In form design and since all the forms have been made in 800 X 600 the form design view is tiny on the small Porteges and their 1920 X 1080. Running the forms is no issue as I have code that automatically expands all the form but that coding does not work in Form Design. Of course the...

Nearly everything I have in Access was initially made with 800 X 600. All the stuff I have and do make have forms that exactly overlap. If I want to make a new form I just copy and existing form and then remove data source, text boxes etc. All the computers I have at the moment are Toshiba...

As above. Plus Select queries allow for fields to be created that are calculations or functions. A very simple example would be if the table had a field for FirstName and a field for LastName a field could be created in the query where the two names were joined as in John Smith and that could...

With C format I think on the forum in either specimen DBs or Code someone has made the CF so you have a lot more than 3. I think I have it here somewhere. With security I have never had anyone with an issue and even if one was hacked it probably would not matter. Even if they could stuff the...

When you said 7. New linked table manager I was not thinking properly and was think relationships. Most I do a split as usually on 2 or 3 and sometimes 4 computers. One thing I have always done and I know is frowned on but the DB on the "home computer" is always complete and not split...

Thanks for that. Security does not worry me and whatever I sell goes out as 2016. What are 2. Themed controls on forms 7. New linked table manager …..Virtually everything I make is an alteration/extraction from a very large and "do everything" Access db. I still hate the ribbon. The...

First up I have both with the 2016 on Office 356. As an aside it went from 2013 to 2016 and no extra charge. Only $13Aus a month. I only use 2016 for other people and I won't do anything unless they get Office 365. However, I make a lot of the stuff on 2003 because I prefer it and...

Basically you can make anything in Access but for lots of things it might take longer to make. Although after years you tend to have about everything made and just needs modifying. One thing I find good is to have Access as the "manager" and also for data entry and then Access opens an Excel...

Just wait until you come across a case and then get the phone book out. You get better results approaching companies if you actually have a real live prospect for them. Probably the big thing is to decide if you want fiddle around on the side for a few extra dollars or go full time at it.

I was able to do it as full time source of income and a very good income. However, a couple of advantages I probably has was I had been in the insurance business so could cold call and sell and of course was already self employed and had been that way since I was 21. The money is not in...
