No but this was a while ago and I must have got around his problem. Still interested in doing it properly though so I'll take a look.

Definitely needs a bit more of investigation. One down side is you need an Internet connection. In this day and age shouldn't be a problem but she lives on an island of the North West cost of Africa! Upside is you can get access wherever you are. Thanks again for the heads up.

Yes I went down the VPS route as well. I think self managed servers is the default and probably in reality you don't have to do anything. I'm trying to het further info from them

I've just found out that OpenOffice has a successor called LibreOffice. Anyone with any experience with Base in that or is it as flaky as he Open Office one?

Ah ok. It's a real simple system but I'm going to need a few lines of code so that's a bit of a show stopper. I don't mind the learning about it. I'm more or less retired but just do a bit here and there on request and it really isn't about the money! That said if she wants to buy me a Mac so I...

Just had a look at this and and the low prices refer to self managed servers. I don't know exactly what that means but if that means we're responsible for firefighting, upgrades in OS etc then it's probably a no go unless it doesn't need managing for what we want. Also it seems that the cheap...

An access licence, if my memory serves me right, allows up to 5 users. There's only 3/4 of them and in the main I'd be surprised if more than 1 accesses at anyone time. Besides it's been shelved because of the panyouknowwhat.

OK cool. I'll go take a look at what they do. Thanks.

Yes I know but I'd obviously forgotten that by the time I'd responded to Isaac! I've been looking at running Windows on the Mac and doing it all in access. The emulator on Macs I believe is something called boot camp. My user has a 10 year old Mac and doesn't have boot camp. The other...

Funnily enough I actually have another guy I do some work for and we have 1 access licence on a server where he works and everybody RDPs in. The boss actually has a mac (with the emulator on as well!). With your solution I think we'd need to get an access licence which will double the price...

Why not OpenOfficeBase? I'm playing around and it's a bit naff but for a simple DB may be OK. I discounted FileMaker for the same reason as you. One reason I'm shying away from access is the Windows emulator. I don't think it comes with a Windows emulator there are plenty around. I'm pretty...

Not anymore. They used to use one of those small receipt printers as well as a standard A4 printer. It's all A4 now. Needless to say having 2 printer types was a bigger problem!

Is there any way to capture the wobble before the wobble itself!? Also why, in my example, does the wobble emanate itself in 2 different ways and, looks like I forgot to add it to original post, but I have a 3rd case where the report is displayed without a wobble. This is more or less the same...

I'm supporting a small single user system that is deployed to various laptops. Other than the faults and bugs I've introduced myself the things that give me most problems are printers. They, the problems, don't always appear to be linked to the printers. I have had many and varied problems...

I've been asked to develop a small database. It'd fairly trivial to do in access but to deploy to a Mac I'd have to get them to install some sort of version of Windows, they'd have to but an access license and if anything goes wrong which turn out to be environmental I can't really test. So...

Right so the code was introduced on the close button to cover the fact that in most cases a firm is bound? But! This doesn't fail in access 2016 and 2010. I only found it because I deployed the code to a machine that runs 2007. Don't know why I'm surprised! I'll comment out the code!

It's totally weird. This year I've only managed to access the site on a handful of occasions. Looking back that was probably on my phone and through VPN.

I've started using the website again and more often or not it's not accessible. I put it down to it being off line for some reason or other but when it started getting really irritating I used some website to see if was down or not and it can back that it was up and running and accessible from...

Yes the form is open. It doesn't have a recordsource. This code is generated when I use the wizard to close the form - this is when using 2007 2010 or 2016 access. It works in access 2010/2016 but not in 2007. I'm going to get rid of the code but IO like to know why it's failing.
