    Kicking out users for administrative tasks...

    FYI all. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q186/3/04.ASP . Look at this link and see if it will help.

    Replicating database tips.

    The replica route is the correct one to take for your need. I do this on 20 something machines. I would do Three things. 1- Split the database. This puts your data tables in a backend mdb. 2- Create the replica set you spoke of. 3- Create a mde for your front end. The mde does a couple of...

    MDE File gets table info from original backend

    That is why you split a database and why you create a MDE. You want the frontend to update the backend. Why would you want anything else. I am confused by your question. Give us more details.

    Convert MDE Database back

    You have got the jest of it. The backend is for data. Your forms, queries, reports, modules are in the FrontEnd (MDE). You will make changes in your Design Master .mdb and create a new mde to implement your changes. It preserves your design of any code in your forms as well as converting your...

    who is connected to my db

    Microsoft has a LDV Viewer utility that is a free download (translate to unsupported) that I use if I just want to see who is connected. The previous suggestion of check for the presence of the .ldb file is good as well. I would check to see if you can delete the .ldb file before you decide...

    Syncronization Detection

    I need information on how to detect that an indirect synchronization is underway on a set of attached tables. I have a .mde front end that I would like to display a hidden lable when the replica set tables on the back end are in sync. Turning the lable on and off is not the issue. It is what do...

    Dynamically Size Forms and controls to Fit Screen Resolution

    I have tried the one out of sybex and found it to really put a crimp in my overall db performance. If you have a strong enough computer the performance issue may not be as noticible as it was with mine. The program worked as stated but was soooooo, slooooooow.

    Using a combo-box entry as criteria for a query

    This is a little dirty but it works quite well. Create a hidden (not visible) text box on Form1. On Form1 combobox create an after update event that writes the results into Hidden Textbox1. also in this same after update event (if you want this much automation) place a DoCmd that opens Form2...

    Visible/invisible controls vs speed

    If your lookup uses the DCount or IIF statements, you might want to follow up in the online help concerning the cautions on using these. They are very slow. Make sure the queries that populate your combos refer to indexed fields. Running queries on un-indexed fields will also slow down the...

    Visible/invisible controls vs speed

    Are you sure the form with the tabs is what is causing the problem? Is it possible to rename the page and sub in another blank page to see if the tab'ed page is the real issue. I am curious, I have a form with 40 tabs and numerous performance issues I am working through.
