HI All, I've found a dataset online that's been archived back in 2003 using the old Access 97 .mdb format/extension. Since backward capability this format was done away with back with Access 2013, I can't open the dataset to use it. Is anyone still working with a Access 2003/2007/2010 (or has...

I don't know how others go about the adminstration of their databases with regards to adding/editing/deleting items from combos, etc. but I though I'd share what I do. Basically, I have a form called frmAdministration whereby all the lists in the database can be handled by the users (that way...

It was suggested in this thread that I post up a user class that I mentioned. So, while my own is tailored to my database and much more complex, dealing with permissions, user levels, etc I've made a small example that can show what can be done. So the User class. All it does is load your...

Okay, I'm sick of designing forms whereby I have to go through their individual settings and set things like PopUp to True or RecordSelectors to False. Therefore I want to create a form class that, in the Form_Open event will do all that form me for every form. So, I've got a class called...

I'm sitting in work, browsing the forum. I would expect that most people using the forum are sitting in work, be it a home office or a business place. I expect this because, well, Access is the sort of thing you use in a business. You know, professionally. Therefore, I'm a bit concerned that...

I've finally been upgraded from Access 2003 to Access 2010. Being eleven years behind the world Access appears to have changed a great deal. One immediate issue (aside from finding out where everything is and what's new) that I'm having is that fields where I had functions as default values are...

This is something I'm wondering. It's a site with a focus on Access, yet the majority of the forums are on non-Access issues. Personally, I don't see why there are so many areas that could be one big Watercooler, like the old days, as the Gadgets/Business areas seem to attract little else but spam.

Due to the ongoing bulk of regular spam posts that this forum receives, and based on similar activity on other forums, I think it would seem to be that the reason for this is the use of the word 'General' in the forum's title. In my experience it is the areas marked this way that generate the...

Does anyone else work in an office where, when it comes to silly events like Hallowe'en, the women get over-zealous about dressing up at work? (For fun, apparently.) Now, I don't know about everyone else, but I don't go to work for fun. So will there be any dressing up in your places? Or is...

I know it's a common question on this forum which, after having a search, we we have no definitive thread to refer others to. I was thinking I would pose the question, having had no experience in making such a database, so that the minds on this forum could offer their thoughts. When the...

Jon, Would it be possible to condense some of the new forums to subforums until they take off? The main forum page is getting extremely long and some of these just aren't active. I would suggest one forum called Electronics with PDAs, Phones, and Gaming listed as its subforums. This way...
