hi everybody.

I've finally found the joys of MS Access, I say joys as that only happens when it works - other than that it is the hardest piece of software I've ever used.

I've taken the templates from MS themselves and manipulated them to do what I want, but my business has now outgrown them and so I've decided to start again with another template and import the data already accrued.

Please bear in mind I'm a noob with very basic knowledge of what Access will do an have become infuriated with the lack of specific info on the net, so am hoping that you guys & gals can help - Many thx in advance.

Hi. Welcome to AWF!

of you only know how to copy and paste Boch, then you might learn more keyboard shortcuts while you're here too. just the other day I went into my landlord's office and the clerk was having trouble reading the bottom of a document I sent her or something, so I told her to print the screen, paste the image in mspaint and print it that way. I told her what shortcut keys to use in windows and she was able to read what she needed. she says to her boss: "hey I learned something new today, can I go home?".

and of course the answer was NO. welcome.

Cheers Adam,

I have a question but unsure where to post.
Am trying to pick up how Access works as I go through my working day (more of user than a programmer tbh).

In one of the standard contact templates, there is a map button which takes the address & opens Bing maps with that location.
I would like to replicate that feature in another DB.

Where can I post this question in detail please?

TIA

PS: I find that I learn better by doing rather than ppl doing it for me

Welcome aboard. We aren't real picky about where questions are posted; I'd suggest General or Modules & VBA.

Cheers, on it.
Hopefully the Admin or Mod will move if posted in the wrong place.

you can count on Paul to move it, since he's got eyes on this thread.

You might be able to learn to search for what you want since this forum does have a fair (not great) in-forum search. In the thin ribbon like a menu bar near the top of the page, SEARCH is 3rd from the right.

I don't know about Bing maps but we have had some Google map questions that you could perhaps find.
