Is it possible to hide the taskbar entry for an application that is already running (MS Access in this case)? I don't want to hide the whole application (I still want it visible on-screen), but I don't want it to be visible in the taskbar. Come to think of it, ideally I'd like it to be hidden...

In a database at the moment I'm using the code found in the FAQ FAQ705-2562 which allows Access to operate without displaying it's own window - ie. the grey background is not visible and the forms appear straight against onto the desktop's background. After implementing this, I decided I...

I've been experimenting with the code found in the FAQ faq705-2562 which allows Access to operate without displaying it's own window - ie. the grey background is not visible and the forms appear straight against onto the desktop's background. Which is great. But if I've got a database which...

I've got a long and complicated problem, but what it boils down to is this - When a user clicks on the X icon to close a form I want to throw up a question - "Exit without saving?" where either they click Yes and the form closes, any changes they made forgotten, or they click No and the form...

This should just be a quickie, it's just that I've been looking round and can't find the answer! (Disclaimer: I've only recently started dipping into Access and SQL and while it's mostly making sense, there are holes in my knowledge like this one) On a form I've got a combobox which is...

Just a quickie (I hope!) I know you can disable some of the menu options for a database (using Tools/Startup), but I want to find out if it's possible to disable others - specifically "Insert New Record". I want the only way to create a new record to be through the way I lay it out in the...

Here's the situation - for one reason and another, I want to have a "Save Record now" button on a form. Which the large part of I've done. But I've got a problem (as usual :) I do some validation on one of the controls on saving (it is a 10 digit number which has a check digit, uses a standard...

Is there any way to delete a report from vba? I've got one report that is set up as a template. When someone requests a report with particular parameters, this template report is copied to a temporary report and populated with information, then displayed. Then I'd like this temporary report...

A quick introduction: what i really want to be able to do is extract a specified icon from a file (.ico, .exe, .dll) and save it as a .gif file, maintaining its transparent background information (if any). I seem to be going round in circles with this and not getting very far, I'm posting in...

I know that using the CreateShortcut method that you can define properties for a shortcut and then create it wherver you like, but my question is can these properties be retrieved from an existing shortcut? What I really want to do (in case there's an easier way round it), is to find out what...

I'm trying to find a way to make a text visible regardless of the background image that it is written upon. The first thing that springs to mind would be, like is possible in MS Publisher, to have a font that has a black outline, filled in with white - so there is always contrast to the...

I'm really not sure if this is the appropriate forum to post this question, if not and if anyone could suggest which WOULD be a suitable forum then that information would be appreciated. :) Using HTML, I'm wanting to create a background (Active Desktop) for Windows 2000/XP which gives me access...

What I want to do is access the source of web page and pick out some of the information with vbs. I have tried using something along the lines of - Set objExplorer = createobject("internetexplorer.application") objExplorer.Visible = False objExplorer.navigate...

I'm not 100% that I'm posting this question in the correct forum, but I'm writing the script in vbs, so it seemed reasonable enough.. Anyway, I've a got a simple script to list the network resources on the server. It starts off fine, but it part way through it will display the .Name property...

I've got a bit of a problem with ArcServe 9.0 - each night the backup is scheduled to run, and goes through without problem, but each time it gets to the DB pruning, the database engine is stopped. To see if I could find out any more information, I changed the schedule so that the DB pruning...

I'd like to have a script that can both display the number of users that are currently connected to a share (eg. when you disconnect a file share and it comes up with a message along the lines of "are you sure - there are currently 3 users connected") and then I'd like to be able to...

Just a quick question: My application reads in an INI file that it needs to access, which is found in the same folder as the executable itself. I used to have the folder name for the executable (and so the INI file) hardcode into the source, but I'd prefer the flexibility of locating the...

Firstly, apologies if this is a really simple question but I'm struggling to find the answer. I'm quite new to Visual Basic but have some experience in VBS. I want to create a simple app, part of which calls a PERl script. I want the output of the PERL script to be visible in a text box. Now I...

We've got a small network of 1 server and about 20 computers all of them running Windows 2000 (and Windows 2000 Server). We have only recently introduced saving data onto user network shares and some users are still saving to "My Documents" from time to time (old habits die hard)...

I'm trying to set up AutoUpdate Architect in a very simple manner for a small network (25 computers). There is one Master Repository (a share on the server) and each computer will be set up to download from this each week or so. I've got it set up with only one Source Repository - NAIHttp with...
