FYI, there is a nice game of Texas Hold Em in this app - click on the Title on the menu and give it a shot. I have nearly a billion, but lose due to long integer constraints :)

Thanks, I removed the "s" from the link. There is no malicious code or macros. I just updated a new version today as well which includes Monte Carlo simulations on the Value At Risk page. I hope that those who chose to download the example will appreciate the work done on accounting...

I am no expert on FireFox, but I do know that browser options have personalization for security and you can add trusted sites to bypass (even tho explorer still throws confirmation messages up to allow a trusted site). If you are using trusted sites in your browser, your browser will basically...

To keep the page from flashing everytime a form field updates. Specifically, the form has a date field, and some charts referencing the date field. The procedure runs through N dates which can be months. So there is a lot of echoing as the date changes. So would like echo off, but if echo off...

Hi All, I have learned a lot in this forum and have been able to develop applications for Azure Remote App, as well as locally shared solutions with the help I have received here. I wanted to give back somehow, and decided to post a link to a free, open, sample database for managing and...

Hi All, I have a procedure that reruns past data in a system and want to show the date on the status bar without the echo on. However, the only way to do it is to change the echo just before the syscmd to change the status bar text, and it looks jumpy. Anyway around this? Thanks in advance,

Forgive me if this has already been asked, but wondering if anyone has heard wind of access runtime in Windows 10?

@CJ_London, Thanks for the tip. I was able to solve by inserting the Randomize command above the variable formula. Thanks again,

Hi, Writing to see if anyone has experienced this problem besides me. I have a form open event that updates a table field with a random number, then posts that number to a field on the form. What I noticed was that Access is generating the same random numbers in the same order each...

Hi Rx, Just wanted to follow this discussion up with some more info on my experiences. This past week I worked on getting remote desktop up and running with Azure. My back end is an Azure SQL database. As of last night I have a fully functioning remote desktop that accesses an image of my app...

Thanks for the very helpful response. Just to be sure I do not get confused. The azure performance change is due to the front end, and if I use the think client with Citrix, that problem will not exist, or it will, and I should migrate the SQL db to a sql db server next to the app server...

Hi All, Wouldn't the easiest solution be to use an SQL BackEnd on Azure? I am trying to determine if a share front end distributed via citrix would be better than using local clients to access SQL backend but I am not quite getting the picture on it. Any explanation and elaboration on the...

I am delinquent in responding to this thread but wanted to reply, albeit late. ButtonMoon, I do not disagree with you. I had not planned to deliver a cloud solution. As such, I had not set out to prepare a database that was normalized for SQL. However, when the bleeding heart virus appeared...

Ok, I did some experimenting and here's what is happening. Windows 8.1 has a magnifier setting (Control Panel>Display) that defaults to 125%, which, for those of us with custom controls on our forms, means that our forms will appear funny, out of alignment, disproportional, until your user...

:banghead:Hi, I am struggling with an issue with my access front end. On most of my computers, everything is fine. When the front end is used on windows 8.1 OS, controls change size and appear as of the border is actually smaller then the control, etc. Based on another post in this forum, I...
