Gazal, Did you figure it out? I have a major double click problem as my client wants all buttons single click but the nagivation buttons will jump 2 forms if a double-click is issued by a user. I've been to the forums, checked the newsgroups and I don't see an answer. I've not yet used any API...

Hello, This is a fairly lengthy post. My apologies. The context for my questions is a form that opens with a listbox full of some 60 room/household area names and a subform where a user can place names selected from the listbox in descending order of selection. Names are added to the subform...

Here I am, closing in on the final scenes of this act in the development of a commercial application. Testing and debugging a form for the wheel of the wheel mouse. Have I been successful in disabling it? The wheel must be disabled to prevent a user from scrolling into a new record. I use a...

Hi maudedo, I am up against the same kind of problem. =========================================== I need to get access (VBA) code to recognize which version of Outlook the particular machine is using, and automatically associate the correct object library...

I am not sure how this happens that a form can get so mucked up. It did on another form as well. When I built a new form, copying over the controls and then the code behind the controls, replacing the old form, the problem was solved. I have a concern with Access XP. It is often wanting to...

This is going to sound strange and so it is. The problem is in Access XP. I have a listbox on a form with the names of various room names for a house. The objective is to have the user double-click any of the room names and that room will be added to a subform that is updated to show the...

cocochien, I've spent the afternoon checking up on Error 3061. From what I have learned, it is usually associated with incorrect field names in the SQL statement. Your description is too ambiguous to know how to help you. You have 3 tables, Booking, Customer and Car? Could you better describe...

silveradoca, I didn't mean to infer that this software was not available! In fact, I eventually loaded it to keep the MS Error messages away! Since then I have had to reformat that PC and am still testing it for stability before putting Developer on it again. So no, I haven't gotten anything...

jimtmelb1, I find your question interesting. Did you solve it? I just recently discovered that in backing up data tables to a 'backup dB' that the primary key was removed. Most likely this is due to the fact that the backup takes place in the Front End and from it's perspective all tables are...

Stew, Look at the links at the bottom of this Microsoft web page. http://www.microsoft.com/AccessDev/a-a&sa.htm#localization Regards, Sorrells

Stew, Your problem sounds interesting. I will soon be to the point where I'll be wanting to load Spanish into textboxes, maybe listboxes and certainly reports. Where is the failed translation taking place? The series of question marks? In the table, form control, report? I looked into 2...

Ken, Thanks for your reply. The command worked fine! I did not realise that these properties were available. Another small step forward for this old man! Regards, Sorrells

MoiraT, Thanks for the information. I presume that you did not receive repeated demands from the software to install SourceSafe? On my copy, Microsoft would not let me into the VB editor without it so I went back and installed it. I certainly did not realize that about the back end and will...

Greetings, This is a problem that has been plaguing me for months. Tonight I thought I had it. It worked in AccessXP fine until I compacted the database, then the same old problem. I have a main form with a subform set to Continuous Forms. It is populated by a query but is not related to the...

JimInKS, Good questions. I'm having a hard time with XP Developer as well. Think I added a lot of questions to this forum about it. Just finished a 3-hour (26,000 baud) web search for a (just 1) decent Developer forum. I could not find one. I have XP Developer and just installed it on a new...
