I want to remove or hide the "File/Edit/Insert, etc. menu bar which appears across the top of the screen for applications I develop and support. I provide all necessary navigation and function for the user on my forms, including user login. I would also like to prevent users from killing...

You didn't explain what is expected to happen. Are you running a query, expecting it to return Oracle data? If so, are you sure the Oracle database contains rows which meet the query conditions?

Guess I wasn't as clear as I thought. I acknowledge that .MDB conversions could be a pain, but that's not really worrying me. I'm just reading temperatures for those who've installed, used the new Access. Do you like it? Do you perceive improvements over Access2K? Or is it just a...

I just acquired OfficeXP Developer's Edition and was wondering if anyone in the Tek-Tips audience has had any experience with this version of Access. I noted that many people had varying levels of heartburn with Access2K, saying it was slower than '97, produced more bloated .MDB files than '97...

I don't have any solution to offer, but I'm interested in the platform issues involved. I didn't even know you could run an Access app w/Linux back-end platform housing the data MDB. Has there always been problems with this app or did it just start when they put it on the Linux server?

O.K. Here's the gist of what I've been told, emphasis on told. None of this is official MS word(no pun intended) Office Premium is supposed to be the full slate of office, period, with the addition of photo editor, front page, outlook. and something called small business tools. The...

I'm told there are a number of cobol compilers available for a PC, reasonably-priced, running under Win98/NT2000?? What's recommended for novice who hasn't used cobol in about 20 years and doesn't remember much of it.

Interesting news! But tell me, what files do you have to copy and where, \windows\system? or, in my case, \winNT\system? Does CD have a text file describing all this?

Thanks to both lameid and mhadden for responding. Now, let me share with you what came to light yesterday aftenoon. I called the vendor who supplied my O2K Premium pkg and was informed that the developer's edition really is comprised of the premium pkg + another CD. They did not have the...

I've been reading the complaints and the comments and commentaries posted on this thread and attempted to respond with a question of my own. But I think I needed to do it as a new thread to solicit responses. So with apologies for unwitting duplications, here is my submission, again! This has...

This has all been quite interesting. I only recently acquired Office 2K Professional (just to get Access 2000) I started with Access V.2, skipped Access95 and really becaume a serious programmer with V.8 (97). I also had used the DTK for Access2.0 and the ODE which you buy to go with...

I have a query which returns rows containing a column value matching a parameter. Query works now. I want to return all rows if the parameter is null. Anyone have an idea how to do this? I know it can be done, I just don't know how.

Precede the "OpenQuery" statement (DoCMD.OpenQuery.......) with a "DoCMD.SetWarnings False" Run the query! Follow up with another "DoCMD.Setwarnings True" What this does is turn off all warning-type messages such as "Query will modify contents of...
