That's true, Pat. Our first problem is that the firewall strips winmail.dat though. I could easily set the policy to leave it alone, but I'm more interested in why it does it at all just in this one case!

Hi, thanks for the response. Yes, when I said "all settings" I did also mean composition. All the users use Word as editor. Am I right in thinking though that the composition settings would apply to both accounts anyway? The Exchange compositions work fine, even if I use the signature intended...

Hi, We are running an Exchange server and four of our users also have a POP account configured in their Outlook 2003 clients. They have two html signatures configured, one for each account. So when they click 'new', they get a blank message with one signature, ready to send from their default...

Well it seems I was doing it correctly so far. After testing it further, I can get it to run. Just not where I need it. The problem is, I only need the buttons and related code on the "Read Page", for the recipient. If I put them on the "Compose Page" they work for the person creating the...

I wasn't sure that I can. The VBA window seems to bear no relation to my custom form. From within the form itself I can only find the VBscript window. Isn't there some restriction on VBA in Outlook, relating to the current session? I want to be able to send this form to various people as an...

Hi All, I'm trying to create a custom form in Outlook with two simple buttons, but so far I'm stuck with a very unfriendly VBscript window! I'm happier in VBA and here it's just like typing it straight into notepad! I've no idea if it's right, testing seems impossible. So I thought I'd see if...

That sounds fair enough, it's just in my mind it seems more logical to have a webpage linking to a data source. I thought there was a tag where you reference file/sheet/cell. If not though, your method will certainly work.

Well, the data will alter on a weekly basis. I thought it might be easier if the spreadsheet was altered, the web page would just refresh the content. Also, because of how the data is calculated, there's a great deal of information that isn't required for the public page. It may even turn out...

Hi, I'm in uncharted territory and wonder if someone could help in the right direction. I have a spreadsheet in Excel calculating various bits of information. A summary of that information needs displaying on an Intranet page. I'm a bit rusty on HTML. How do I use a link tag to reference...

Glad it worked! That code can be easily adapted for tasks and emails in Outlook too. Beware though that if you try to automatically send an email ("myitem.send"), it may trigger the Outlook Object Model guard. I find it easier all round to always use the display first option. Jon

I design and use a very similar system, and hit the same issue. The basic problem with a reminder system is you need a query to run at regular intervals. I got around it with two options: 1) Create a start-up form attached to a query that shows items due today and within the next couple of...

Have you noticed if that function of auto-populating the first name always works? I'm wondering if it's something there that trips the "cannot go to..." message. If the users are able to populate the first name themselves, consider commenting out the lost focus code and seeing how it behaves...

Alex is right about Access and it is easy to tailor a very powerful little system. My main database is a support incident system for four engineers to track customer requests. Essentially I have three tables; one is for a basic overview, status level and reference number, a second is for timed...

I can understand picking which control to focus on as the form opens, but what's the thinking behind the lost focus event? It looks like a save command. Is it really needed at that point?

Is the form somehow filtered? Would saving the record cause that filter to change? For instance, if the form is linked to a table of addresses, but only shows records where "postcode" (or something) is blank, and then you edit a record and fill in the postcode, that record is no longer valid for...

It certainly could be. You need to test it by only having one person logged in and adding records. If you still have a problem, consider setting it up temporarily on a single PC for one user just to test.

How many users get this "you cannot go to the specified record" message? Does it still happen with only one person logged in? If not, how many have to be logged in before it does happen? If it does happen with only one user, copy the database to a single PC, or log directly onto the server...

I would highly recommend running the workgroup security wizard. To be honest, I've never looked into it in detail; just ran the wizard, kept to defaults, crossed my fingers and it worked! I think it should be ran after you split it, though I'm really guessing there.

I think the key to all this is going to be on your network/ server, not your application. It really sounds like you have some sort of share going on. This can cause problems as it will clash with the database settings. Something has changed on the server, highlighting a basic flaw in the...

Ah, sorry, I didn't read your post properly. If it's been working fine, that's strange. But typically IT! You mention a server though. What sort of server is it? And is Access installed on the same server? We have a Terminal Server and an Exchange server. I've tried splitting the DB across the...
