Hi - I've written a custom VB app using WIA, to automatically download photos from a Kodak C875 camera and create thumbnails. The app automatically copies the photos to 2 network locations, so I don't want to use the XP wizard. Everything works great, and to prevent the Camera and Scanner...

Hi, I know this is not really an Access issue, because I've done a search and found that it happens a lot. However, this has me baffled: A user has a desktop shortcut to an Access database, and when you double click it, you get the message "xxxxx.mdb is not a valid Win32 application." You...

Hi, I did a search, but didn't find anything similar to this - so here goes: What I would like to do if possible, is show totals from a group footer in the Report Header. I've set up just ONE group using the sorting and grouping section. It is grouped on the Due_Date field. I used a text...

Hello, There may be a very easy solution to this, but I've been stumped on this one. I have a table with thousands of records, and somehow, there got to be (kind of) duplicate records. Below is just a sample table using similar fields. The HistID field is the PK, and ItemID is the number of...

Hi Access experts, Just a quick question - I've been looking all over trying to find an answer, but haven't so far. Is there any way to modify the Control Box for the Main Access Application window ("Omain") ? I'm using the FindWindow and SetWindowPos api's to limit the Main window to 1024 x...

Hi, Is there an EASY way to change the alignment of data in a list box. I have a few simple, bound 2-column list boxes on a form, and would just like the columns to be right-justified instead of left-justified. They're just used to display data, and not used for selecting anything. It...

Hi - I've checked the FAQs, and haven't found the answer for this problem. I've spent HOURS trying to resolve it ! I have a search form, with an option frame with several option boxes representing different fields to use for a search criteria. Once this option frame is updated, the RowSource...

Hi everybody, I've never noticed this issue before, but it's got me baffled. I'm making a search form, and am building various SQL strings on the fly. I have to allow for comparisons whether the fields are text, numerical, or dates. I've got most of it figured out, except I want the users to...

Hi Access gurus, Has anyone ever had this problem? For some reason I can NOT get the Property Window to display while working on a form in design view. Even when I create a new DB from scratch, it still won't show. When the form I'm working with has focus, if I click on the Properties icon...

Hi everybody, I'm developing an Access DB, and it will be used by monitors with both 1024 x 768 and 1208 x 1024 resolutions. I don't want to resize any of the forms or objects, so I just would like to know if it's possible to resize and center the Main Access window (classname = "OMain")...

Hi, I know on a report, you can set a text box Control Source to "= 1", and RunningSum property to "Over Group". This will display the individual record number on the report. Is there a way to do the same on a subform? I'm using a Continuous form in the subform, and want each record to be...

What is the best method of setting up a unidirectional connection from one server to another? Here's the situation: we have a couple of workstations and a W2K server that needs to be isolated from the rest of the network, which is also W2K machines. The secure server is connected to a UNIX...

Hi, we've got an VB application that we've just started distributing locally on a CD. The installation and everything works great, but there's only one slight problem. We inadvertantly forgot to include an ActiveX file in the setup program. This is Comctl32.ocx, and I was certain it was...

Help! I'm desperate. I'm attempting to create a screen saver that is basically a launcher for another EXE. I'm checking the registry and other things when the screen saver starts, and then it shells to the appropriate EXE. This works fine in Win 98 - don't know if it's the OS, or just the...

I'm using the API's FindWindow, ShowWindow, and SetForegroundWindow to determine if a program is already running. If it is, I want to bring it to the top. So far this code works: hwnd1 = FindWindow(vbNullString, "thecaption") If hwnd1 = 0 then ' use shell to open the program...

Using VB 6 - I desperately need help with this problem of switching between forms in my app. I have 4 different displays, and they all have CPU-intensive graphics running, so it's not feasible to leave all 4 forms running, and just hide as necessary. I have tried everything I can think of. I...

Is there an easy way to automatically open your new VB app right after the setup program is completed. I'm using PDW and have looked into the spawn= argument, but I don't really have time to edit the Setup1.exe program. Is there some way, maybe using a batch file to run the .exe right after...
