Twenty-five years ago today, November 13, 1992, Microsoft's Project code-name Cirrus was officially released to the public as Microsoft Access 1.0, marketed as the "Business Information Access Program plus Menu Developer's Kit". (Ahh the unlimited potential in a career as a professional Menu...

Good Day fellow "Access people"... :) I'm looking for two recommendations. I realize there's no "single right answer" but I'll check out any suggestions you can make (and I'll report back to this thread on what worked out for me, and why!) 1. Which Web-Design forum is the best? (For all...

Microsoft doesn't go out of their way to advertise all the products they offer 100% free for current or former students or teachers at recognized institutions (worldwide I think?)... Basically, you need to have an email address from a school that you've attended, where you can get a "click here...

Here's a simple analog clock I put together, to see if I could. Access doesn't make it easy to do anything "drawing-like" on forms so we have to get a little sneaky -- but this is drawn without ActiveX or API's. There's one lil' API call to add the mandatory "Tick" sound... which isn't...

"Honest, I didn't just spend an hour on this..." Either I'm a fan of a certain site and a certain show, or else I've been single for waaay too long... or both. (The zip has all the fixin's in case someone else also has apparent excess time, and a better image editor than mine, MSPaint)...

[I was getting off topic on another thread so I'll finish 'er up here.] I tried, but I guess listing "all available ActiveX controls" isn't easily possible. I hoped there was a hidden collection I could enumerate, but closest I found are in C, or else there are limited registry calls one...

[Sry if it's not the correct forum -- Just recommending a utility I use constantly that other frequent Firefox users might find useful too.] I use Firefox on multiple computers & devices... When coding, shopping, streaming, forum'ing, etc etc, I'll want to "put this on that device"; maybe...

One problem with learning-by-Googling is that the more time passes, the more out-of-date so much coding-related posts are. Often I can work around it, but often I've given up. Access doesn't like to open "old" MDB's anymore. In this case I'd like to open this oldie from ChrisO (man, that guy...

I've was playing around with drawing a dynamic grid of rectangles on a form, possibly to eventually turn into something custom-progress-bar-like, and so in testing I've been drawing & deleting them repeatedly. But I'm confused about the behavior of my DeleteAllRectangles sub. It only wants to...

I'm getting error from an Access 2016 database (running Windows 10). The error shows several times on open of the database, then most times I try run anything with VBA, and then several times on close of the database. Screenshot of the error: The database is a single copy, standalone on my...

Hi again, So, maybe I've been staring at the screen way too much this week on my marathon-Access&VBA-refresher, but I can't find anywhere on this site to set options like default fonts, signature, etc, for my posts, nor can I find any option to privately contact other members. I've been to...

Posts on this site come up often when I'm searching for a way to "do something", some things simple, some not so simple -- like today's. Actually I've a week searching and experimenting with way to control the Access Window and other system functions with VBA, and I found a crapload of awesome...
