    Adding Notes into PowerPoint Using VBA

    OK - well this seems to work. How stupid of me not to take that logical path towards getting it work. I must make sure I learn the PowerPoint Object Model to at least 20 levels. </rant> oSlide.NotesPage.Shapes(2).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = &quot;This is a note&quot; Thanks Mincefish

    Adding Notes into PowerPoint Using VBA

    Hello, My request is a simple one (I hope :)) I want to know how to add notes to a slide. I know how to add the slide, and format the title, etc. Once I've done that, I want to put some standard text into the notes. I figured that as the notes are slide specific, adding notes would be a method...

    Filesize of Front-end Database

    Here's my 2p worth. I'd say that 5.5Mb isn't that big for a front end db. You've got alot of forms in the db, and the code, and objects takes up a lot of room. I've had plenty of front ends about that size - with less forms too! As long as it doesn't change size, apart from fractionally when...

    ORDER BY in SQL Statement prevents updating recordset?!

    Hello, I hope someone can help me, as I'm confused, and I think there may be too many variables that could be affecting this issue to truly discern what is going wrong. I'm using Access 2000 (with ADO 2.1) as a front end to an MSDE back end. I'm writing some code to calculate quintiles, and...

    How to import all files from the directory

    Don't know if you still need the import part, but here's a way you could do it. I'm also not sure how you'll know which spreadsheets need to be imported to which tables - I'll leave that up to you to figure out!! - I've made a suggestion though. Function fncImportFiles(strName As String) Dim...

    How to import all files from the directory

    I can help you with the getting all excel files from a specified directory, but the import may be a little more tricky. Here's the getting the files to pass to the import routine (which I've speculatively called fncImportFiles(): Function fncGetFiles() Dim strName As String strName =...

    How to print directory listing?

    If you wanted to write the code to do it, you could get all the file names by doing the below (seaches for an file with the extension .pl, in C:\Perl\Scripts, and outputs to a text file called Output in C:\Temp. Function fncGetFiles() Dim strName As String ' name of dir Dim fsTemp as Object...

    Copy Table Using ADOX in Access 2K

    No-one answered this, and I wasn't sure why. Anyway, I worked out how to do it, and I thought I'd paste the code here, incase someone is searching for the answer to the same question, and stumbles across this question. These two functions take input of the name of the old table (to be copied)...

    Copy Table Using ADOX in Access 2K

    Hello, hope I've picked the right forum here! I need to make an exact copy of a table, and rename it something similar, just without any of the data. I'm using Access 2K here. I am basically trying to automate the process where-by a user manually selects a table, copies it, and then clicks on...

    Refer to Next/Prev Record

    I think you would need to .movenext, load the value(s) in a variable and then moveprevious, and then do your update... HTH

    date formatting to either US or European format !!!!

    Dude....well I'm glad you sorted it out :)

    date formatting to either US or European format !!!!

    Presumably when you say choose a date, you have some kind of event, which puts the date into the text box? In this event, you could do: Me.txtTextBox.Value = Format(Me.Calender.Value, &quot;dd/mm/yyyy&quot;) .....Or have I utterly missed the point ;-)

    Residual Data problem when creating a new record

    Why don't you have a function like below that clears all the controls of their old values (This function assumes that all your controls are 'properly' prefixed - i.e. txt for text box, cbo for combo box, lst for list box...) Function fncClearControls Dim ctrl As Control For each ctrl in...

    Command Buttons

    This could be quite long winded, so I'm going to write the code here, but it might be easier if I could send you a sample database!! As an overall idea, I'd have a unique list of ingredients from tblIngredients displayed in a combo box. When a user selects one of those ingredients from the...

    Grouping/collections of Textboxes on Forms

    One way you can refer to controls would be to use the controls property of the form - so for example: Do While rsaddress.eof Me.Controls(&quot;address&quot; & intSub).Value = rsaddress!address Me.Controls(&quot;diesel&quot; & intSub).Value = rsaddress!diesel intSub = intSub + 1...

    Combo Box teaser!

    I think its because the Category1 field is always the same - when you choose an item from the drop down box, it makes the value of the dropdown box the value of the bound column, and because the bound column is always the same, it chooses the first value. The only way to solve this is to change...

    What's a good way to learn VBA?

    I agree with rookery - I've found the answer to so many problems on here, and the more experienced you get, the more answers you find - sometimes I can take the slightest hint from an answer and modify it to what I want it to do - You'll gradually pick it all up, and it will all start to hang...

    How can I use a Browse Window in VBA?

    This will give you an 'Open File' dialogue box, and parses the file name and path into a ByRef string. I must say, if its any good, then I can't take credit for it - I'm pretty sure I found the answer on Tek-Tips too! Public Function fncFindFile(ByRef strPath As String, Optional ByRef...

    Filemaker5.0 compatability with Windows Me

    I have been given a copy of a FileMaker 5.0 database, which was developed on a Mac, and then converted (At least I assume it has to be converted??) to run on a Windows Millennium machine. I currently get error messages when updating certain fields, saying that the fields are read only...
