I've built a db menu system for our catering dept so they can add the menu and it will display on tvs around campus. How ever the tvs are diffarent sizes and so the form dont look right. Is there a way to make a single form stretch to 100% of the screen size a bit like a web page?

Do I put this code in the startup form as on load?

Re: You are battling obscurity, not theft. I have a full working db which I hope to sell for a couple a quid. The demo is not to stop theft but just a demo of what the full version does. Theres no point giving them a full demo as that makes my main one pointless. A taster!!

I want to build a demo db and make it so the user cant add more than 10 records. perhaps a popup when trying to save the 11th any ideas?

I have a database that is saved as an accdr so it can be compiled for distribution as an exe I have just found the accdr the exe installed and renamed to accrb and was then able to open it and view all the tables, forms etc. Is there a way to stop this? Obviously I cant stop someone...

I'll stick with the main database being in access for time being. If I wanted to have a feature called for sale. Users of the database can choose a model from their access database that they want to sell. It would then send to a MySQL page for models for sale. All users of this database...

I have 2 modules. I think they are to allow a image file browser to open. It has the code you said I should look for. But if its just for file browser is this still right one to add to? see the code for module. Option Compare Database Private Declare Function GetOpenFileName Lib...

This mention of API's does come up and its a new concept to me and not sure what they are or what they do. I'm also not much of a coder, so if I need to just copy and paste that code in I need to know where and how if you don't mind. Anythink more complex then I gonna have to pay some one I...

I've had to come back to this. It runs on both 32 and 64 windows. Just not if office is 64 I have packaged up the db so that you don't need access and instead install office run time. So why should it care what version of office is on a pc cos that's the point of using the run time package.

I've sorted it.

I've compiled it so that if any of them don't have office at all it will install office 2010 run time tools to make it work. Would the accde work with these run times? If not do you know the code needed to do with a button?

I have just finished a 6 month long build of an access 2010 app. I have used the publish wizard to make it publishable. This has made the accdb to an accdr file. No my edit list form don't work when you right click. This seems to be an issue with accdr files. Is there a way to have a...

I'm using access 2010. the runonce form doesn't need to auto close. The save button on the form does that. The onload code is on the main form which loads when access opens. I guess i could put a onload code on the runonce form to close the main form. Then have the the save button also...

I've added this. still open as I want then the switch round. They don't seem to like been both popups.. I thought there used to be another way to make a form appear as a poup form or dialogue rather than full screen. Been years since I used last cant remember what it was.

I have done that. The main navigation form also has popup and that seesm to take presidence. I like the main form to float in middle of window rather than fill whole screen, hence why popup is on main form.

Alot of forums have the option to see all threads that i started. I keep forgeting which section i put what. It would just make it quicker to go and see replies.

Ok. I now have the form I want to open. But the run once form opens behind the main form. Is there a way to force the run once screen to be active?

It sounds simple. I tried alsorts. if statements etc no matter what I do it moans about the expression. Basically. The main form opens as an exec. I thought it could have a macro set to onload to do an if record count of tblowner = 0 then open form frmrunonce I tried stuff like this...

it is a single form. this is what I added. Private Sub Command9_Click() If [Tbl-Owner]![Key] = [Tbl-Owner]![AutoGenKey] Then DoCmd.OpenQuery "McoLicence" End Sub I get run time error 2465. cant find the field '|1 referred to in your expression. this is on a button on the form. on click

Thats pretty much what i been trying to do. minus the hard drive bits. This is prooving to be one of the hardest parts to do in the entire database :( I will try this out this week some time.
