I've got a form with a few command buttons on them that were working fine. All of a sudden, when I click one of the buttons, nothing happens (at least sometimes). The code behind one button is just "DoCmd.Close", and that doesn't even work. If I go into design view and try to look at the...

I finally got my network set up and running. I couldn't get my wireless router to work with my ISP, so I set up Internet Connection Sharing on an old PC with two network cards, and, after a lot of messing around, got it to work ( I know next to nothing about networking). I changed the router...

If I purchase Access XP, will I be able to distribute projects to users who have Access 2000 installed on their computer? Right now, I only have Access 97 installed. Has anyone had any luck distributing applications created in '97 for use on 2000 machines?

I've had this problem before - my database has some functions like "Mid", or "Left", in queries and code. I also use "Str" to convert a value to a string in some circumstances. These have worked fine for quite a while. All of a sudden, the functions don't work on...

I changed computers, and the new one didn't work right, so I put the old one back. Unfortunately, the I.S. guy removed Access 97 from the old computer, so it had to be reinstalled. After reinstalling (using "select all", to get everything), some of the text handling functions don't...

I've got a database that sends email updates after it finishes certain tasks. I've just used the "docmd.sendobject" method, and it works fine. Now I've upgradeded my computer, and I have Office XP (but I'm still using Access 97). When I try to send an email, I get a message box that...

I'm using a linked text file to load configuration data into a database. The file "xxxx.dat" is created by another program, and is a simple, comma delimited file. I created a linked table to read this file, then run queries based on the contents of the linked file as well as other...

I want to use the DBGrid control on a table in a secured Access Database. How can I pass the user name and password to the database so I can read and write records? I get the message "No Read Permissions on Table". I can get around it by assigning full read, write, edit, delete...

I know this should be easy, but how can I get records sorted in a dbgrid? I've got the data coming from an Access database query, and the query is sorted correctly, but in my VB program, the data is displayed in a different order. I even tried sorting the table, but that didn't make any...

This is something that's bugged me. I frequently use a text or combo box in a form in code, so I want to assign that value to a variable. The only way I can seem to do it is to do something like this: Dim HoldText as string MyText.SetFocus HoldText=MyText.text The problem is, sometimes I...

I've got some sample code from an equipment manufacturer that's written in VB 6. My problem is, I've got VB 5, and it looks like it won't run under that (although I can see the code if I open it up. I'm not really a programmer - usually, I just modify the sample code until I get it to do what...

How can I send an ASCII string to a serial port in VB 4? Can I do in in Access '97, using VBA?

I have several multi user databases on a network. Occasionally, especially when the database is open for an hour or so, It will lock up for no apparent reason, with "Disk or Network Error". There doesn't seem to be a reason for the error, and other applications are not affected...

I'm trying to control a relay output card. The programming instructions are not clear. To turn on a relay, you need to write a byte to the base address (992 or 3E0 Hex). How do I do this? Their example is this: Base = &h3E0...
