    Make Fields Visible or Not Visible

    I am working on a Time Sheet (r_TimeSheet). If an employee has overtime (time and a half), I want it to print the Overtime total (OTTotal), and any extra regular hours. I have that working fine. The problem is when you come up with Negative overtime. Then I want it to NOT print the Negative...

    Lock down application

    The best way would be for you to first; Disable the shift bypass key. You could enable from a command button on your switchboard. Second, you could set a password in a Module design's Tools\Properties. Third, you could make the application an .mde file. For distribution I would definitely...

    Securing Database

    lameid is definitely correct. I distribute my application as an .mde a,long with a couple of other protections. I would not do it any other way. If not an .mde, anyone can get to the code and password. My way, the Shift Key is Disabled unless you know the correct password to enter in the...

    Securing Database

    I enable my ShiftByPass key with a Command button on the Main Switchboard. Just click on it, enter a password, then close and re-open with the shift key held down. I can supply the code, etc. if this is what you want. Thomas Bailey a/k/a TomCat

    Limit number of copies dbs

    First, with Access 2007 you can now get the Developer tools for Free. Juts download it from Microsoft.com. You can then also download the Access 2007 Runtime for Free. As far as protecting your database: The .mde is definitely a good idea. You can also set a password in the Tools\Properties...

    Securing Database

    There numerous ways you can protect a database. I have mine protected at least four (4) different ways. First, you should definitely consider Spliiting your database. Then with the Front End you could disable the Shift ByPass. On mine I have a command button that you have to enter the correct...

    Linking OLE Objects to a Separate Database

    Nim180 I finally got it working. I typed in the path to my server and also typed in the picture number. Now I have the photos showing in my form, for each record, and they are saved elsewhere. Great. Now, as I mentioned in my earlier response to you, do you know of any easy way to add the...

    Automatically Adding Data to a Form

    I have designed a database in which the user enters all kinds of data into the forms then prints out Report forms. Anyway, I have it set up now so that if you enter a person's data (one time) in a Master Index Form, then their inormation shows up in combo boxes in the Form. In other words, as...
