    Can we change the tab color or icon with "tabbed document" forms?

    isladogs I agree a tabbed form icon wouldn't be very effective in any case. Thank you for following up on this.

    Can we change the tab color or icon with "tabbed document" forms?

    (to xavier.batlle )That would be worthwhile for some needs, highlighting the active tab, thanks. The goal here is to have the form tabs a distinct color so that they're easy to identify.

    Can we change the tab color or icon with "tabbed document" forms?

    Mike no problem. tabbed forms are not the common topic, not surprised you thought it was about tab control.

    Can we change the tab color or icon with "tabbed document" forms?

    You're talking about the tab control. I'm asking about forms that are displayed with the "tabbed document" option.

    Likewise, no way to change the "icon" of a tabbed document form?

    Can we change the tab color or icon with "tabbed document" forms?

    I never use tabbed documents, prefer overlapping windows. I have a client now who is used to tabbed documents but would like the tabs to be more distinctive. As it is the only difference between the tabs on the forms is the location/index and the text. So far I can't find a trace of anyone...

    Format datetime like mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm if time value, else mm/dd/yyyy

    Yes it is important that the form be used for data entry. Using a cont form is a way forward; I think I will switch over to that, unless I think of some other approach. Here I'd prefer datasheet over cont form because it's easy to nav between rows with keystrokes. It's one trade off vs another...

    Format datetime like mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm if time value, else mm/dd/yyyy

    Pat I tried adding the formatting expression into the query; the col becomes read only.

    Format datetime like mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm if time value, else mm/dd/yyyy

    ebs17; I thought of separating into two data entry fields over the weekend. I may give that a try. Not sure exactly how I'd set it up; but probably a single col to store, but two inputs. I think too that it might be possible to switch this to a continuous form; that would then allow for...

    Format datetime like mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm if time value, else mm/dd/yyyy

    The issue with General Date is that it leaves seconds; I don't want to show seconds.

    Format datetime like mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm if time value, else mm/dd/yyyy

    MajP, General date shows seconds. For this purpose, that's visual clutter, and what I'm hoping to get rid of. Not sure why I didn't get any notifications re these later updates - thanks everyone!

    Format datetime like mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm if time value, else mm/dd/yyyy

    Minty I think that expression would be read only, so no edits. Pat, yes; I am hoping for some voodo formatting technique. What I'm after could have been something that msft anticipated, but as far as I can tell there is nothing in the Access kit that allows. If I find a way I'll post it back here.

    Format datetime like mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm if time value, else mm/dd/yyyy

    In a datasheet, is there a way to format a datetime value with hour and minute only (no seconds) if there is a stored time value, but if the value stored is only a date, show as mm/dd/yyyy? The goal is to have these outcomes: enter a plain date 10/11/2023, show 10/11/2023 enter a date time...

    Microsoft Office Licensing for "Terminal Server"

    amorosik can you give us some examples of 'other' terminal servers that you've found work well. I have mild exposure to tsplus, which I found worked well as far as I took it, and does work with windows 10 etc. The issue I mentioned is between Office 365 (at least) and server OS, so unless...

    Microsoft Office Licensing for "Terminal Server"

    It's all guesswork on my part, but if the perpetual licensed versions of office are still ok on server os, it'd make sense for the runtime to also remain viable. If it works out like that, it's not really the end of the road.

    Microsoft Office Licensing for "Terminal Server"

    But bear in mind, at least according to what I've read, you won't be able to deploy office 365 to any modern msft server os starting in 2025. That means rds etc will no longer be viable methods of deploying Office 365 Access applications. They still may allow perpertual licensed versions of...

    Can anyone explain office 365 versions? Need to spec latest Office 2019

    I've been attempting to use ODT to download and install a most recent version of office 365 Office 2019, mostly for Access. I find the versions numbers quite baffling. Supposedly one can use the ODT with the tag targetversion to spec a specific build and version. The FMS page is maybe the best...

    Solved CMD String executes in CMD, but not in VBA.Shell

    Yes that's the main mystery, why the debug from cmd variable in RunCMD() executes fine in command prompt but fails when RunCMD tries it. I can't post the screenshot without altering it because of org name embedded etc. Thanks!
