Let us know why you need it. Generally, it is better to recalculate the value every time you need it for a report or similar, if the value is always based on the value in another field. It is is something that needs to be static, then create it as a field in the table, and use the suggestion...

There are various providers like SMS2email that provide the service in the UK. As long as you can send a correctly formated email it should work. You could look at the devices that attach a mobile to your local network, but not had any experiance of those. SeeThru Synergy Connections Ltd...

Very funny :p I do use the logs extensively - the issue we have is that a person could work of 5 or 6 different campaigns during a day (we tend to work smaller, more specialist stuff rather than huge mass telemarketing). Out database logs the number of calls made for that client, but if the...

VMPro is really a IVR system, not a call recorder, and has some major issues. This is all for a 406 v2 - 500's may be different( Calls on outbound are recorded to the voicemailbox of the extension that makes them. It basically prevents you using per extension voicemail. Calls are allocated...

I've not tried this, but what happens if you have a shotcode the same as the extension? SeeThru Synergy Connections Ltd - Uk Telemarketing and Telesales Services and Synergy Mobile Solutions - UK Mobile phones, land lines and call packages

Found a couple of old questions on this, but no answers! Office 406 v2 We use TAPI dialling from a custom database. I am investigating using account codes to better track call costs, etc. Is there a way to send a tapi dial string containg a short code that sets the account number AND teh...

Just thinking about the earlier comments, with a bit of work, I could build a programmatic form designer - give it the label, data source, size of box, combo source etc, and it could then automatically lay out the form. This would work for 90% of the projects, hugely cutting down the required...

Thanks jebenson I was looking as windows applications as that is where my background is, and it does seem to be more powerful. I'll investigate the options, and what I would lose compared to a traditional program - but you are perfectly correct it would solve all the updates problems...

Thanks for the feedback. For a bit more detail, the forms are primarily for telemarketing projects. I will already be using some of the suggestions with turning elements of the form on and off with the options - but there are always exceptions, and I would need to have the ability to override...

Hi All I'm looking to move away from Access. At the moment, each new project is a separate Access database. We probably create 5 or 6 new ones a week. I would like to deploy this as a windows application. However, I am concerned that I will probably be adding or changing forms daily. Not...

If you need to build it as a semi permanent list, I have used a technique of generating a string 1;"one";2;"two"3;"Three" etc and then placing that as the source. It's crude, but gets round a couple of updating issues had at the time. You can buld the string from a record source by stepping...

There was one I pinched a while ago - I think it was from Alan Browns Access Tips. SeeThru Synergy Connections Ltd - Uk Telemarketing and Telesales Services and Synergy Mobile Solutions - UK Mobile phones, land lines and call packages

I suppose it must do something - even printing a variable means the computer has to call the variable, possible convert it to a printable for an output. It's probably minimal, but I usually do a search for 'debug' when I an about to release an update because it is really annoying if you are...

You could have Vacc_filled automatically calculated, but still bound to a field. Create a field in the table called Vacc_filled Bind the text box to that value In the afterupdate of VacOrdered (and any other fields that effect it) if isnull(Vacc_filled) then Vacc_filled=[enter calculation...

In Excel, add a new column, and set the source to "'" + a1 where A1 is the cell with the phone number. When you import this column, it should always show up as text, solving the problem. If you still have issues, try adding a different character (search as P for phone, and using a search and...
