PaulF, It wasnt a shortcut or context menu issue, it was a problem with the column headings. I do not remember how I fixed this specific problem, but I seem to think it had something to do with one of the controls events or something...

Still no help from Microsoft. Anyone have any suggestions? Leo

I have an Access application that I distribute with the office developer packaging wizard. I include MSDE with the package and want to make sure that the one distibuted is the very latest possible. I believe the packaging wizard gets its msde install files from C:\Program Files\Microsoft...

For that you can go to tools-->options then uncheck Windows in taskbar. Look at the other options also. These can be set using code so that if the user changes these or they are not transferred with the database, it will still look correct.

I have an application that I have distributed with the runtime version but the users can no longer right click on a column heading and choose sort ascending etc. Is there a way to enable this for the runtime version of access? Should I look for another solution. Thanks In Advance, Leo

I have an access db with odbc linked tables to the sql desktop engine included with office 2k2; but get error messages when trying to connect from certain computers. What drivers need to be installed on the client computer to connect to msde? Any other suggestions greatly appreciated also. Leo...

I found the answer. When you are viewing your already created query in datasheet view, you can choose Insert - Subdatasheet.

Tables that are related to another table have a nifty feature; You get that plus mark that expands the relationship for that record as a subdatasheet. Is there any way to give a query this same feature? leo

Hey there, I thought this would be the easy part. I have an upsized access database that I would like to distribute to other remote locations; but I cannot find an automated way to create the database in MSDE. I cannot expect the users to upsize it themselves, but this so far is the only way I...

Hopefully someone has tried this before or has some useful suggestions. I am trying to create a database that will connect to a .mdb back end or an sql server. I have two parallel versions, but keeping them up to date with each other is a nightmare. For the sql version I am using odbc linked...

Maybe it has something to do with the join properties of the queries the reports are based upon? If your query is based on multiple tables this can happen. Does that get you closer to the answer? LB1

I have had so many problems getting everything to work that at this point, I don't quite trust anything. If I distribute an app with the packaging wizard and include the runtime, is it possible that it will mess anything up on a user's system even if they have different or multiple versions of...
