    How to: Creating multi-user access db

    I am also learning access, so allow me to share what I know. My db is all stored on one computer, along with an excel file that I use for import/export. I copied it to another computer, moved the excel file to my server and simulated a multi-user. I found that if User1 is in the db, it will...

    Looking for direction

    Thank you much for the response I wanted to be able to have access linked to an excel file that is not on the local machine.

    Processors

    The 2 DIMM does refer to memory, but the likely configuration would be a 1x2GB and a 1x4GB. If I could only chose between those two, then the deciding factors would be(in order of preference): Price-The computers are about 7-10% of each other in terms of speed, so the lesser priced one would...

    Win 8 / Surface

    I remember a while back there was a few suprising people who actually love Windows 8, but dont remember their names. Do know they are Linux and Mac users who will welcome all of the new business that Microsoft has just given them ;)

    Recovery from Motherboard Failure

    You may have another recourse, if you dont mind spending a bit for some equipment. You can remove that hard drive and put it in an external USB box. This are quite common, and can be found for under $30 in most cases. I remember picking up 6-7 different ones when I went to Frys last time and...

    Batch file to connect projector

    If it works, go to the properties of the batch file and create a keyboard shortcut for it. I am not 100% sure, but WIN 7 you should not have to restart the computer for it to take effect, nor put it in a special folder. Could be a handshake issue. Out of curiousity, are you using a HDMI cable...

    I wanted to start off by saying that all of the Access knowledge I have, is from this past week, from researching, watching tutorials, and trying a little hands on. I have downloaded and installed, SQL 08, Access 07, and Visual Studio 2010 Express. Three different computers will need access...

    How can I safely erase a hard drive?

    I would recommend that you remove the hard drive and replace it with a new one. This way, you can be assured there is NO WAY that a new user could find that information. If you have not done this before, the tools needed are common(phillips or flathead screwdriver), and 95% of the time there...
