I do have error handlers which is how I got the error that is being raised. I also have some logging which allows me to trace things more closely. After reading your post, I thought I could probably go nuts and add more trace logging to explore further. Would you believe that it helped me find...

As isladogs mentioned, we want the extra restrictions in the accdr. The real question is why a few people even have the full Access installation because they don't actually use it. :) So far I haven't noticed any differences between the accde and accdr, so fingers crossed I can keep with the...

Thanks very much for that link. Much of the code looks familiar. I'm sure I didn't invent my own code entirely, so I've probably "researched" this before. :) It looks like you focus on forms, not reports. Is there a known problem trying to centre reports? My form positioning works well but...

Hello all, I've been working on an Access project for two years and have been able to answer most of my questions using Google. Many of the answers have come from this site, so thank you all very much. :) I have not been able to find any help with this problem so I've decided to try directly...

Apology accepted. :) Written words often sound more forceful than they may have been intended. I do agree with all the concerns you raised, and I have been trying to balance all the conflicting priorities on my project. I also think it's important to ensure inexperienced people using this site...

Sheeesh. I haven't got time to waste replying in detail, but if others still want to comment on the thread, I want to be sure they aren't misled. In case they also don't read the thread properly. My question is not asking how to do the project. I hope it's obvious that there is no short answer...

I've been wanting to get back to this message since I read it. It's very relevant to me. I previously worked with a language called Clarion, which is not aimed at teams of developers. Nor does it have version control. I wrote various scripts, etc, to provide an environment that was acceptable...

Wow. Thanks for all the replies. Plenty of great advice. I can't reply to them all individually, so I'll put some general comments here. I think everyone is confirming my thoughts that this is a significant project, requiring multiple developers. Please disagree if necessary. First, some more...

Thanks Doc, I pretty much agree with you 100%, but there is no way this company will pay for the type of planning you are describing. And I'm not going to do it for free. :) See the end of this message for a higher level discussion of your response. A fantastic point about the project bible...

Thanks for the reply. You've raised a couple of points that I want to address. But first, I probably didn't describe the situation well enough. I am in fact "the company to do it for them". I'm an experienced software developer who can develop this software, but it will take me some time. If...

Who needs Google? :) Searching through this site has taught me so such, and I'm still reading. Thankyou everyone! I have a high level question, and apologies if this is not appropriate. I also understand there will be no definitive answer, but a conversation could be very enlightening...

Hello all. I'm Craig. I'm in Adelaide, Australia so I might be in here at different times to most people. We find that most international events are at awkward times for us. :) I inherited a partially implemented Access system about six months ago, and I'm starting to get on top of things...
