    Remote Desktop Problems

    Thanks; you hit the nail on the head. awgina is a file symantec's installation tells the registry to use instead of msgina... regedit, and change it to point to msgina.... and now it works! Thanks.

    Will Visual Studio.NET support Classic ASP dev work?

    Any ideas on shrinking tables?

    Welcome. OLE pictures are horrible in jet. I believe it stores not only the image, but an uncompressed bitmap of the image. If you need to store them, you can... either store the path to the file(s) or use a blob, and write code to handle it... sample from microsoft for blob handling: Class...

    How can i go to the end of a record?

    If you use ado, add a reference to adox, and read up on the catalog object. You could use the catalog to navigate the table definitions, get the name of the column you need, then build a sql statement to pick the data from that column for you. hth James

    Well, as for the username/pw lookup, Assuming you have a table that looks like this: tblUsers: Username Password Private Sub cmdLogIn_Click() If DLookup("[Password]", "tblUsers", "[Username]='" & Me.txtUserName & "'") = Me.txtPassword Then '...

    Passing parameters to queries...Help

    You could use a global variable, or reference control values from a form (it could even be a hidden form). If you need help doing either, let us know.

    Any ideas on shrinking tables?

    Strange. Have you tried compacting it? Does it have many indexes, some of which you could remove? Does it have any ole object fields?

    Will Visual Studio.NET support Classic ASP dev work?

    Well I think what you're asking is 'Will old asp script run on the new version of IIS?'. Yep, it will.

    Launching Word from Access and Inserting Fields from the Active Record

    Well... I don't have the time to do this, but I know how it can be done... You can retrieve the values from the form just by accessing the value property of the form objects... like: Me.txtMyTextbox.Value Then you can go to msdn, or buy a book, and take a look at the word object model...

    Did it print correct?

    Welcome... the help explains docmd pretty well... You'll probably notice you get some prompts like "Are you sure you want to update this table" when you run the update query via docmd... if you want to suppredd them, you can use another docmd method: and make sure to turn 'em back...

    Did it print correct?

    I think you can make it work just fine like this: Private Sub YourButtonName_OnClick() Dim Response ' Run your report Docmd.blahblah Response = MsgBox("Please print the report. Would you like to mark the records as processed?", vbYesNo) If Response = vbNo Then ' Do nothing Else '...

    Did it print correct?

    Hmm... ok so you're probably running the report from a form... as the onclick event of pushing a button on that form? Private Sub YourButtonName_OnClick() Dim Response Response = MsgBox("Did it print ok?", vbYesNo) If Response = vbNo Then ' Do nothing Else ' Run the update query...

    Populate a Form

    Hmm... I don't understand exactly what you're trying to do... but there are several ways of populating fields... An easy one is to use the on_load property of the form... Private Sub Form_Load() Me.textboxname.DefaultValue = "" ' ' You could probably use DLookup to retrieve the '...
