    Changing from Sterling to Euro at run time

    Thanks, I've worked out the Euro sign so that is now working okay. As to how it feeds into the accounting system, that's not really a huge concern as the database is not used directly to calculate any costing but more to report the amount we spent on a project compared to the amount it is...

    Get looked up values into reports quickly

    Splitting Database and Distributing to Users

    Hi, Thanks for the advice. I will get as much completed as possible then before splitting. Is it possible to elaborate a bit on point 2 as I'm really not very hot on this area yet. Is it something I should get on the phone to the IT guys about? I like the your idea of a custom login...

    Flickering message box when loading image on current

    The message in the message box is "Importing ............." (where the ...... is the image name) From this I am deducing that this has nothing to do with the error generated when the image is not found. Any ideas how I can stop it appearing? My the image is linked not embedded
