Currently have Rythems as provider, going belly up. Looked at a bunch of others with poor results. Intercom Online seems to be the most reliable. Any buddy know of reasons to avoid Intercom Online?? Jim

Have you confirmed all users are opening the db in shared mode? Tools/Options/Advanced/Default open = shared Jim

Hi, I have several thousand files with an uppercase file extension that need to be imported by an app that only recognizes lower case extensions. MSDOS provides a switch /L for lower case. Does a similar switch exist in SCO or does anyone have an idea on how to handle the problem? The files...

Well, that was my first thought as well. But alas, when naming the file in DOS with lower case letters, W98 converts the lower case extension to uppercase.

Create your options form with a list box. Enter your options values. Add the field to your query as your filter as [forms]![formName]![FieldName]. User selects an option from the list box, clicks search to launch the query, query runs with the list selection as the query filter. Jim

Are you merging MSWord fields into a MSAccess or vice versa? Can you open the data source in MSWord to initiate the template in MSWord? Jim

Looking for a source for PC platform running at or under PII. We use MS-DOS apps with I/O control that are too slow for the newer platforms. We've tried slowing down the processor with a loop util but we're still having problems with the port speed. We had been slowing down the machines in...

Thanks, I'm not looking to add the app to the start up folder but to the quick launch menu. Any help is appreciated. Jim

Where is the mapping for the short cuts menu located on the start button(right click over start)? I inadvertently deleted the explorer option from the short cut menu. Any help is appreciated. Jim

Is the mdb on a shared drive? By default, shared drives are set to read only. If the drive is shared, it must be set to read/write to use the mdb with write permission. Jim

If your only traveling 100', why not use wireless? If you have a visible line of sight between buildings you can use wireless LAN or infrared technology. Either will work well and elliminate the potential problems of cable. The issues of lightning, static charges as well as moisture are all...
