Something went crazy in my settings somehow. Before I had my Grid X and Grid Y set to 5 (resembles light dots) and it has been set like that for nearly 4 years - today I open it, and I have thick, heavy grid lines. I reset the X and Y back to 5 and I get my old gridlines back, but the heavy...

Where, geographically, do your leads come from? Did you see my response/idea in the original thread? I purposed that developers just pay a flat annual fee and a prospective client can look at a bio/web page of what each developer has to offer and they can contact the developer themselves -...

Another Question about MDW files... What steps do I need to take to get this to work: I have an Access 97 db and an Access 97 MDW file that were created on another user's machine. The mdb is locked up and I cant get into it with Access 97. (When I try opeing it on its own, I get the "You dont...

I thought of converting them, but I cant open them to actually have the option to convert. I will try a 97 install and see if that works. Thanks guys

I see you are Dazed and Confused also ;) my target looks like this: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSACCESS.EXE" "C:\MyDatabase.mdb" /wrkgrp "C:\MYDATABASE.MDW" it was created in 97 and I am trying to open it in 2000. Is this the reason? Will it work if I install Office 97 and open...

I like the idea of an annual fee the developers would pay and a potential client could either contact the developer directly or the potential client could post themselves as 'open' and any one of us could contact them. I like this idea, but where are your leads coming from? Me being in Canada...

There are sites out there that will give free accounts that support Access 2000 and ASP. Check out www.brinkster.com - they used to have free accounts - or a paid monthly account is fairly reasonably priced. They have lots of code snipits, too. For ASP code tutorials/snipits - go to www.aspin.com

A client of mine has an Access 97 db and an .mdw file for security. I am trying to open it in Access 2000 on my own office computer using a shortcut specifying the db location and the the workgroup file on my local desktop. When I click the shortcut, I get this error: "Cannot open the...

Excellent - Thank You! What I meant by read-only, is that when I would try to set the items in the collection to a different value, it would break beacuse the property is read-only

is this possible? I have a list set to multi-select. I would like to programatically clear this property, but it is read only... Any suggesstions?

thanks Jeff Thats what I am looking for :)

thanks wiz, But I am not looking to drag text from one control to another, I would like to have a picturebox that can be dragged to any part of a screen and then have its location saved. Think of it like re-arranging furniture, I want them to be able to move a 'couch' control and have the...

I would like to have a form where the user can place picture box images in any part of the form and have the form save the placement of the boxes. How could you do this? Where's a good place to start?

Wayne, this is what I did - With rs Do While Not .EOF lngID = rs(0) strName = rs(1) If Asc(Mid(strName, Len(strName) - 2, 1)) = 160 Then strName = Left(strName, Len(strName) - 3) ElseIf Asc(Mid(strName...

thanks for the reply - it returns a value of 160 I guess I can just keep checking the string with this and cut off whatever ending chars = 160. Does that make sence? :)

I have a column in one table where all the records have either 2 or 3 spaces that trail. I try using Trim on it, but it doesn't seem to have an effect. Trim works in other areas of my application, but on these records, something seems odd. Is it possible that these are special 'placeholders'...

never mind - it was another part of the query :rolleyes:

I have a string that includes '(' and ')' characters - Access does not seem to like this. for example, I have a string:Abacavir (Ziagen)__ if I paste it as a criteria, Access changes it to: Abacavir ("Ziagen")__ I have tried 'Abacavir (Ziagen)' - but with no luck... Any suggesstions?

If it is an .exe, is it possible that the front end is in a language other than Access (perhaps vb/C++,etc)? and the back end is an Access database? If so, you won't be able to edit anything in the front end.

nope. It calls On Current before the form fully loads. Maybe I can use a timer
