I can't understand what the problem can be. I created my database using VisiData that comes with VB and I don't have the same problem as you do. I can create a new record and if there are any fields that I cannot complete due to lack of info' it accepts it and saves ok. I don't know if this...

OK, I have worked out my problem and I do apologize for the late response. However, this had raised an important question: "Why" am I creating labels and not "Disabling" textboxes? The answer to that is quite simple: Textboxes don't have the transparency property as label controls do. Lets...

Hi, How can I find out if a control array is loaded or not? Example: I'm drawing textboxes on a form, do all the text formatting as Bold, Italics, Size, etc. Once I had drawn a few I double click the form and the textboxes are then replaced by an array of label controls copying all the...

bdavis96 Just Getting Off The Track Slightly: I had also started my programming in 1993 with pascal and passed my programming exams with honors, or should I say with horrors. LOL . . . I liked pascal more than C, so I did some databases, writing text files, created a COBOL Compiler Interface...

petermeachem I agree, speed is very important especially in todays advanced technology and if anyone can come up with a better, faster way of doing things, I'm all for it. bdavis96 Please excuse my pickiness, it's just that I'm too well aware of these stumbling blocks that some, NOT ALL, some...

Concider creating a preview form with a scrollable picturebox, then inside that picturebox you would have another picturebox that is set for an array. eg: picBar(0). set the scalemode of picBar(index)and stretch it to the sizes you need. Multiply picBar(index) and have each one line up for the...

bdavis96 OK, Here's the First Issue: Look at the path of the mdb file, you must question yourself "What if the users' mdb file is situated on another drive?" (eg: Networks have many drives for different work allocations). Then the path, what if the user had chosen a different path in that...

bdavis96 Are you planning of others to use your app?

bdavis96, I guess you're planning of using the database app for your own personal use. If not, you need to look at some issues in your code above. petermeachem, I'm suprised to see you've missed them. good luck bdavis96.

bdavis96, Use the database "Close" command in your code before compacting. petermeachem You seem to know more about it so I'll step aside. You were right, it's fixed now. Thanks

See and study the code below that I use to delete every record "BAR ONE" in my app'. The one left over needs to stay. you can replace the data in that one record and update it or simply empty it's contents and then update it. BUT!, And I mean BUT! If you delete the last record you will get a...

DrJavaJoe, Luckily, I don't use SSTab and Command buttons so I don't have the problem. I did however found problems with SSTab and command buttons before I started using my own and I know what a pain in the rear it can be.

OK, Fare Enough! Thanks anyway guys.

ok, if i can create a label control in runmode, without it ever being on the form at designmode, how will I go about this please?

Hi Everyone, Is it possible to create a control and it's arrays on the form in Run-mode? FOR EXAMPLE: In Design-mode I had created a Label1(0) and set it's visibility to false In Run-mode, I had created Label1(1), Label1(2) and so on. Now, still in run-mode, I want Label1(2) to have a...
