FINALLY... DB complete, with network functionaliy As it turns out my problem was resolved by retrying the database splitter tool. Thing is, the machine i tried to split it on first didnt have that feature installed and when it asked for the MSOfficce CD i was too busy at the time to try and...

How i split the db. I was having trouble with the database splitter wizard, it was saying that the database was too large, so i went ahead and created two new databases and used the table import feature to import all the tables for one (back end) then in the other database file i imported all...

As soon as I split my access database I start having problems. I have ONLY the tables in the backend which sits on my server and the Front end i'd like to deploy to the user terminals Problem: I have several forms with subforms, but they seem to be having problems accessing the data cause...

1. yes im using 2003 but i also tried the same project in a 200 file format and it wouldnt compile... The program runs but the reason access gave has to do witht he creation of Table ID's if i remember correctly, saying basically the larger the project is then the more Id's that would need to...

Im unable to create an MDE file, access keeps trying and then saying that its unable to create MDE.//// Is there any other way that I can secure both my codes, forms, modules and macros from being imported into another database since I cant create the MDE file?

Is there a way to just select like through a find dialog box, the location of a databases backend location and just automatically create all the links for the link tables... The reason Im asking, is my boss wants the database to be on his laptop in the event that the network is down, and also...

I couldnt have finished my project without the use of this post... I found it extremely useful so Thanx.

I was more thinking, IT --> intense problem solving skills and Good Thinker LAw -> Good Thinker... I see a tiny link:rolleyes: thnx for the latter of your first two posts though, the giving up the making of the money to go back to school is something Im gona have to...

'why not try IT law?'....it is a growing area (hence people who actually know what they are talking about are scarce and therefore can command top notch salaries). although from what you've said it seems like you are wanting to go for the cut and thrust of the courtrooms:eek: looking at...

Growing up I've always wanted to be a lawyer.... I think it mostly was the fascination with the written word and those movies with the moving speeches that got to me, and although Im okay at verbal delivery I choose IT. Almost finished my IT major in universary now but i think im at a dangerous...

Funny you should mention the old adage "if it aint broken dont fix it" considering the fact that the db im putting together is for scheduling maintenance, preventative maintenance, so they wana fix stuff before they get broken. The recordsource i was refern to is the one on the parent form...

Well I may as well embrace the solution that has been presented... I coulda sworn I saw something similar to what i wana do once while browsing the forum that didnt require setting focus.... I have added a text box to all the forms that I would need to use... In addition, ive added a...

okay this is really good... note though that im using the subform windows to call multiple forms so i need it to work without having to make direct reference to any particular "object" on the form 'Forms!frmParent.Form!frmSister!txtSister.SetFocus I commented out that line in your code to see...

maybe i need a different approach cause this is just not working... and i cant see why it isnt. I guess it wouldnt be fun if it wasnt a bit frustrating, especially tripping over the seemingly "simpler" stuff... really need to get this done though. any more ideas?
