    Installing a Print Server

    ...to find at the server's web page that I mentioned above. If you can't find it try LPT1. As far as LPR byte counting goes, it varies. It should *work* whether it's enabled or not, but one will be smoother than the other. Don't enalbe SNMP status. After that, just walk through the rest of...

    CA policy settings folder absent

    I have installed an Enterprise Root CA, and Microsoft tells me that I need to access the Policy Settings folder in the CA MMC in order to set it up to issue certifiactes for smart cards...

    Debate: C# v. C++ v. Java

    "... it might be better to say 'fully compiled code is potentially faster than managed code'." So in managed code you have full access to all the same resources that you have with unmanaged code? Rob [atom]

    Debate: C# v. C++ v. Java

    "But the C# and C++.NET will be do the same very soon." Well all the .NET stuff is managed code as I understand it. If you were to use C++ (not .NET) or any other language that directly comiles to executable code, that will always be more powerful than managed code, right? Even...

    Debate: C# v. C++ v. Java

    Thanks for the input everyone. I'll use C# for this project, but it seems I should stay on top of C++ and Java. If Java and C# as similar as seanbo suggests, that shouldn't be hard. Thanks again! Rob [atom]

    Debate: C# v. C++ v. Java

    ...Side topic - any truth to the rumor that M$ is intentionally making Java run poorly on Windows boxes? C# seems like a great idea from the *propaganda* that I have read, but it reeks of Microsoft. I must say, I can't ignore a great idea because I hate the source. I realize that posting...

    ActiveX component can't create object

    Bill -- Thanks for that. I couldn't find documentation in either of my books for that. You're a champion. Star for you! (and good eye on the typo) [blush] Rob

    ActiveX component can't create object

    oh, and the error "ActiveX component can't create object" seems to pop up when you try to set a property of the hyperlink, i.e.: hyperPackList.Adress = strNewPLFileName Thanks! Rob

    ActiveX component can't create object

    Thanks Bill, I will try to be more clear. Every time we make a shipment, we make up a packing slip. I have a table in my Access database that stores each shipment. It includes stuff like an id# and the date, etc. It also includes a hyperlink field that contains a hyperlink to the packing...

    ActiveX component can't create object

    Doh! I just realized that that you said that that code "works assuming 'hyperPackList' is a label." I am a bit new to Access ... how can hyperPackList be a label if you dimensioned it as a hyperlink? I have a shipment table with one of the fields being hyperlinks to the...

    Assembly to C/C++ compiler

    While I was at school (a mere few months ago) I actually asked this question of one of my professors. He told me that people have been working on programs that would construct procedural C code from assembly, but at this point they are mainly an academic exercise and they don't work well at...

    Access vs VB

    If you keep it in Access all users will need Access to run it. If they have Access already anyway, then that's not a real big deal. But if they need to buy Access to run your software, that isn't cheap. It's more professional to distribute an standalone executable over a database app. If...

    ActiveX component can't create object

    I have an idea what the problem may be, but I don't know what to do about it. From the VB help files: "You can use the Address property to specify or determine the path to an object, document, Web page or other destination for a Hyperlink object associated with a command button, image...

    ActiveX component can't create object

    ...that. Then I got the error: "Method or data member not found" and it highlighted the word HyperlinkAddress. I looked through the help files and it *seems* like the methods I need to use are .Address and .TextToDisplay (but it's not working so I could be wrong here :) Thoughts...

    Display Last Page of Records in a Form

    uh, that's Resume Next at the end there, sorry. Rob

    Display Last Page of Records in a Form

    You could start at the beginning of the table and scroll all the way through to the end. Not incredibly efficient, but it should work: On Error GoTo Err While (True) DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "WhateverForm", acNext Wend Err: Next Hopefully someone has a better...

    Creating Relationships Macro or Module

    Sounds like something you would have to do in SQL code, not VBA. I don't know how to do it, but maybe it will point you in the right direction.

    ActiveX component can't create object

    "ActiveX component can't create object" I get that error when I run this code: Dim hyperPackList As New Hyperlink hyperPackList.Address = strNewFileName It seems to crash on the second line there. If I comment out that second line, it crashes on the next line...

    Book Rec

    Well ... I just graduated college with a degree in computer engineering. So I am definitnely a techie, but I'm not sure if I'd consider myself a developer. But I'll look into it, thanks! Rob
