Hi, We are running an Exchange server and four of our users also have a POP account configured in their Outlook 2003 clients. They have two html signatures configured, one for each account. So when they click 'new', they get a blank message with one signature, ready to send from their default...

Hi All, I'm trying to create a custom form in Outlook with two simple buttons, but so far I'm stuck with a very unfriendly VBscript window! I'm happier in VBA and here it's just like typing it straight into notepad! I've no idea if it's right, testing seems impossible. So I thought I'd see if...

Hi, I'm in uncharted territory and wonder if someone could help in the right direction. I have a spreadsheet in Excel calculating various bits of information. A summary of that information needs displaying on an Intranet page. I'm a bit rusty on HTML. How do I use a link tag to reference...

Hi, Last year I was using JustDial with the Grandstream 486 before they sadly had to end the service. I'd had some problems configuring it with a Kcorp wireless router (can't be done!) and their support gave me the advanced options password. For anyone frustrated by not being able to...

Does anyone know of a method of comparing records to find the largest contents of one particular field? I have a database that has several memo fields, but a couple are not being used as I thought they would be. I don't think many (if any) entries go above 255 characters. As the database grows...

Hi, I run a support call logging system in Access and have added a method to create records based on emails sent by customers. The email body always has far too much information though and I'd like to know how to truncate it. I have a macro in Outlook to copy the most recent Inbox email to a...

Hi, I've been trying to install a USB printer on to a Windows XP PC. Sounds easy, and indeed, it is something I have done hundreds of time (I'm an engineer and this is a customers PC). Software & driver installs fine, but when it prompted for the printer to be connected, the Windows 'bubble'...

This isn't a request for help as such, just inviting comments on a very annoying situation that happens from time to time. I have an application that I steadily develop, but once in a while after I've done some editing somewhere, an entirely unrelated form will fail. For instance, a subform...

Hi all, Well, that's it! I give up & freely admit I haven't got a clue how to build a listbox correctly when I'm using related tables. This is despite the fact I've done it quite a few times. Usually I stumble over the answer, but I can never see what I did, nor recreate it. I have a form with...

Hi, I'm just after some general comments & opinions to see if I'm heading down the right track. I have a database application for about six users, but it runs on Terminal Server. The record locking doesn't work. Access seems to use the machine name to distinguish users, but these users all have...

Hi all, I had a strange problem with a simple recordset routine, but a search on Tek-Tips found me the answer in an archived thread. The poster never got a response though, so I don't know why it works! I want to develop what I've done so far, but I think I'll hit more problems. Essentially...

Hi, wonder if someone might be able to help! I have a basic Windows XP that was part of a domain. It's being passed to another department & has been removed from the domain, back to a basic workgroup. All it's local users have been removed, along their folders in Documents & Settings. There are...

Hi, This is a small niggle of a problem that I thought I may as well ask about, rather than just keep putting up with it. In my forms, I use the following line quite a bit. Often in the Not In List property of a combo box or more simply, a command button to create a new record in another...

Hi, I wonder if this great community can help me settle an argument or at least come to a happy compromise? I've never been trained in database design. My teachers have been a handful of books & Tek-tips! My colleague though has years of database designing behind him & has a regimented...

Hi, I'd like to try bypassing Outlooks security & have found several methods, such as the commonly known Redemption. I'm more than happy to go ahead & play, but I just wanted any comments regarding Terminal Server. Has anyone used Redemption or this product...

Hi, I've been running a small database for some time on a Terminal Server. It all works fine, except for speed. As I've developed it, it's got slower & slower. When I first created it, there were three main forms, working pretty much independently of each other, just sharing customer &...

Hi, I've pulled out so much hair, I swear I'm bald! I have a jobsheet system & instead of opening the main form, I open a list box on a seperate form first, which displays a query showing open jobs. The user selects one, clicks a button & it closes the list & opens the chosen record in the...

Hi, I have several forms with buttons that can send fields to emails, tasks & appointments in Outlook. Very simple & works a treat. For example: outlook subject = field1 outlook memo = "Dear " & field 2 & vbnewline & vbnewline & field 3 I'd like to add more details, but so the resultant...

Hi, I thought this would be a doddle! How wrong am I or am I just missing something obvious? I've developed a database over the past few years for tracking engineer jobs: there's a table for site visits & one for telephone calls, which have to be timed. Both have worked well for some time...

Hi, I've finally got a link working from one of my forms for logging calls to produce an email, so an operator can forward details of a call he's taken straight to the relevant contact without retyping. It all works fine, apart from the subject line. Basically, I'm using something like...
