Hello All, I'm currently using the VB mod that hides the Access shell so that the forms appear on screen cleanly without the messy background. I think it looks much more professional and less confusing to users this way. I've got some report previews that are selected from the form, but when...

Hi All, I've got a relatively simple problem but my VB still isn't up to snuff. I would like to create a Cargo Code using cgo-0708-001 where cgo is just a descriptive string, 0708 is the current month and year, and 001 is incremented with each new record unless the month changes; In which case...

Hi All! I've a Port combo box cboPort1 and 2 more cbo boxes called cboArea1 and cboRegion1. Basically I want cboArea1 and cboRegion1 to fill in automatically after selecting a port. I've got a SQL query that works on it's own, but not when it's attached to an event on the cboPort1. This is...

Hello fellow Access enthusiasts! I followed the instructions on one of the FAQ's on this site on how to hide Access container window. Much to my surprise it worked on my first try. The problem now is how do get back in to work on the database? I can only enter or exit the database which is...

Hi All, I've got a date field in a form which indicates the last time a record was updated. I'm currently updating it manually but I want to automate it. I've already written the code and it works; I just need the best place to put it. I don't want the date to change if your just looking at a...

Hi All, I've got another challenge for the Access guru's. I've got a vessel location map in my vessel location form frmPosition (finally after days of frustration and agrivation). So far it seems the work OK. The map is a little to small to read the details but you can get the general idea...

Hi all Access experts and Gurus! I have a form called frmPosition which tracks the position of ships. It retrieves data from a Query called tblPositionsQuery. My form is made up of many bound combo boxes as well as other assorted fields. The key field is cboVesselName which is unbound. I'm...

I've been struggling with this for month's! I've got a Ferrari 3200 laptop with a inboard CSR Bluetooth device. From day 1 it's never really worked. I discovered Bluesoleil and it did work but I alway had to restart the program frequently because it had a 5MB transfer limit. I decided to...

I'm not very experienced with Access or databases in general so this may be a simple question for the experts out there. Is there some way of creating relationships accross multiple database files. I'm trying to make a furniture catalogue. There are about 5 or 6 different catagories and I...

I live in Thailand but I do all my email in English. In the past I've never had any problem emailing anyone anywhere in the world until yesterday. The person I'm emailing is Dutch and I keep getting this message: The user does not accept email in non-Western (non-Latin) character sets. Why...

Hello All, I got a free WebCAM when I bought a Belkin wireless. Looks good, but after setting it up I soon realized why it was free. The hardware seems to be OK but the software SUCKS! I have to use CTRL-ALT-DEL just to turn it off! Maybe we need a new Thread just for webCAMS. What I'm...

Hi Has anyone ever tried booting winXP from a USB hard drive? I've got a 20GB laptop hard drive that I've loaded WinXP64 on. It works when I install it into my laptop but not when I put it in the USB case. Is there any way to do it? I don't trust loading WinXP64 as my main OS right now...

Our office is using a Linksys 54G and for some reason we can't see member clients in the Network Neighborhood. When you click the workgroup icon there's a long, long, long wait. Either nothing happens or there's an error that you're not authorized to use this feature and to see the...

I've got a belkin54g ADSL modem/router. Like many other routers out there it has a remote administration utility whereby you are supposed to be able to change settings through the internet from anywhere in the world. That sounds great! but I've looked through the manual and searched the...

I'm having a problem sharing my ADSL internet connection over a Netgear wireless router. The problem seems to be due to the supplied ZyXEL USB Modem. Being USB it doesn't have a LAN out but router wants to see the Internet as a LAN line in the back. The Internet is actually on my desk top which...

I've got three different works stations (Windows2K Pro)in three different locations all of which are the Internet sharing station for a small office. In the last week or so each of them have contracted a auto dialer somehow. I've tried Spybot, Ad-aware, Regclean, SuperCleaner, WinsockFix, AGP...
