I have an Access DB including links to several objects - eg. pictures and soundfiles. The DB works fine until I move it or copy it because all the linked pathnames are no longer valid. I've tried inserting relative filenames (eg. "pic1.jpg" instead of "D:\Mike\MyDocs\MyDB\Pics\pic1.jpg"), but I...

This doesn't appear to be possible as when I try to insert a hyperlink in a memo form (in which I record notes of conversations, meetings, etc.), I see this option is disabled. Is there a way round this? Thanks Mike

Is it possible to set the properties of a Common Dialog Control so that the files/folders are presented alphabetically? For some reason that escapes me, every time the user uses CD controls in my projects they themselves have to order the files because there seems to be no rhyme nor reason to...

Hello I'm sure this is very simple. I'd like to include a "click here" link in my form, so that when the user clicks on my e-mail address, their Outlook (or whatever) opens a new window for them to write. Thanks Mike

Hello I think this is more a general discussion question, but as my particular interest is for VB apps, here goes... Can anybody direct me to a page/link advising which fonts to use or not to use in text boxes, labels, etc.? I tend to choose my fonts intuitively but I know the end results...

I have a Word document and I've inserted several jpg's into it. Occasionally, on updating the document I notice that my inserted graphics have been replaced by red diagonal crosses for no apparent reason. Fortunately, I keep back-ups of my files, so no major damage is ever done, but it is...

Hello, I was wondering if any of you know of a program (preferably freeware!) that can analyse Access Databases eg. producing automatic print-outs/reports detailing relationships between queries, tables, forms, etc. If this all sounds very strange, I ask because I used to use a wonderful little...

I have a table called "writers" with a list of writers (fieldname = "writer"). I have a main form called "books" which, as well as stuff like title, year, ISBN, rating, comment, etc. also has a combo box (named "author") which calls up my writers table...

Actually, I think I've worked out how to do most of this. I've added an object field to my main table, I've inserted a bound picture box on my form and as I flick through my records, I insert the relevant jpg using the right button on the mouse (insert object etc.). By double-clicking on the...

I've set up a database as follows in Access to track my students. The main table is called "student" and it contains 4 fields: "Id";"name";"surname";"year" I've added a few fictional students thus...
