Hyperlinks Hi folks. I assume that it is possible to enable hyperlinks by writing code, but I am not sure what the best way is to do this. Does anyone have any ideas? I understand that it is possible to set up a hyperlink using a command button, but what I want to do is to create a field...

Hi folks, I have been using attachments to view docs etc. in the database, the problem is that such docs may be out of date, that is, they may have been updated or amended. Is there any way to attach a doc in Access 2007 so that when the doc is updated, that updated version is automatically...

Hi Folks, Does anyone know of a way to create code to open an attachment via a button? Example: Imagine you have a small picture in a field, but have a larger scaled version as an attachment for more user friendly viewing. Then you click on that field using some kind of code that lets you to...

Thanks folks for all the help. I have appreciated and found helpful all the comments, by all of you. There is a steep learning curve to all of this, and that is why the help you so freely give makes such a huge difference. Thanks.

Here is one of the solutions that I used. I have decided that when users open this database they will load all relevant forms at the start [Autoexec]. This takes a little time, but I thought that better than there being delays continuously while using the database opening and closing forms [I...

P.S. All done and dusted. Thanks.

Yes, I did use Bob's solution but that is not the point. You kindly tried to help and I am a newbie who needs all the help he can get. The simply fact is I mostly understood Bob's but did not quite understand yours. Why, because this is the first time I have tried to write code in Access. In...

Thanks, Realllllly appreciated the help.

By George, I think I've got it! Thanks heaps for the help, truly appreciated.

Hi Bob, Could you give me an example of how to do this, or point me in the right direction so that I can learn how to do this? Your help is much appreciated.

Smiling: slowly slowly catchy monkey!

I have learned a valuable lesson. When I created buttons in a header and they did not work, and when I created buttons above the tabs on one form and they did not work, it was simply because of tab controls stops - when a tab stop is activated on any other part of the form as was the case with...

I may have posted too soon. Smiling. I have it working as i wish on one tabbed form, but when i tried to duplicate this on another the buttons are still disappearing. So i have done something different but i have not yet realised what, so i will let you know once i know why it worked the first time.

Thanks for all the help, it was very much appreciated. I could not get a transparent button to sit on top of a tab as it always would go behind the tab and could not be clicked. But what I was able to do was to move the tabs themselves further down on the form and place buttons above the tabs...
