    What is the best way to set up security?

    What you would want to do is define access on a per-form bassis. Something (at the most basic) like this: Form1 Form2 Form3 Bob True False True Nancy True True True Jim False True True Then you can hide/disable the buttons on the...

    What is the best way to set up security?

    What I did was just create a dashboard that changes depending on the username. The only options on it being the ones that are valid for that user (which was stored in a global variable). You would then only need to check when the dashboard was re-opened, and not every form.

    Using Access

    Certainly it can. You should be able to use the LEFT function, and the RIGHT function to get this information. Just take the LEFT 2 digits of the RIGHT (LEN -3) and that should get it for you. Please let me know if this is not clear.

    What is the best way to set up security?

    One thing you can do is simply use windows security, if your environment is such that you are comfortable with that. Below is the code from http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0008.htm to get the user name (this is not the only way, but it is one that I have used, and it works). This way, you are...

    Command Line Uninstall for Frontpage?

    Well, it needs to be silent. It's something that needs to be distributed, and not to have any user interaction. So it needs to be command line. It looks like I am going to have to create a custom transform (MST file). I had hoped I could get away with a simpler answer.

    Uninstall Office Component, via Command Line

    I need to know if there is a way to uninstall a component of Office using the command line. Normally I do something like: msiexec.exe /x ?????????? /qn But this, being a component and not a full product, has me stumped. Has anyone done this or know how to do it?

    Command Line Uninstall for Frontpage?

    Does anyone know the command line uninstall for Frontpage? I can't seem to find a way to uninstall (just) Frontpage from the command line.

    Prevent a particular file(name) from being created.

    Well, it's something that stays running all the time. So, unfortunately, that won't work.

    Prevent a particular file(name) from being created.

    Is there a way to forbid a particular filename from being created? I am running a program that drops a logfile on my desktop. I don't use this file, and the program doesn't provide a means to change the location, or to disable logging.

    Activate Excel add-in programmatically

    Believe me Zack, *I* know it's only once. But I don't get to decide :( So if anyone can push me in the right direction of how to do this so my users don't have to, it would be a big help.

    Font sizes from Word 2003 files are changed when opened in Word 2000?

    That's interesting. One thing that I wonder is what format did you save it in? Word 2003 or Word 2000? If you saved in 2k3, then 2k might be mininterpreting some of the formatting code of the 2k3 doc.

    Activate Excel add-in programmatically

    Hello: I am deploying an Excel add-in and though it installs properly, it does not 'activate'. That is, the user would still have to go Tools>Add-Ins and check the new add-in. Is there a way to do this for them via command line or a simple script/reg file?

    AIX system (or base) software

    Thanks, I think this will be just what I need.

    AIX system (or base) software

    Bit of a strange problem here. Let me say that I know almost nothing of AIX, I just need to identify what software on our AIX boxes is base or 'system' software. That is, what is installed with the OS. I have a list of software that I am getting from a Tivoli scan. What I need to know is if...

    Hyperlinks included in email regardless of option

    I am trying to send out a scheduled report as an attachment through the Management Console, however the email keeps including the viewer hyperlink. I don't have this option checked, and don't want this link included (the people getting the reports don't have accounts). Has anyone else seen this...

    Recordsets, Queries...how should I do this?

    Thanks for taking a look at it Rick. That's pretty close to my algorithim. Do you think this would be faster with a DAO method? Otheriwise I will just stick with my first solution, I suppose. Thanks again, Chris

    Recordsets, Queries...how should I do this?

    I have two tables. Account with the (relevant) fields ACNTNO - Primary Key, the account number OPNDT - Date/Time, Date account opened EFFDT -Date/Time, (will explain) and Sales ACTNO- account number RPTDT - Date/Time, Timestamp for this Volume (I.e. 6/1/04 is June'04 sales for this account)...

    Copy files from dead system

    Thanks for the information! Bcastner, that worked perfectly. I knew I should be able to re-set the security on the folder, but I just didn't see it. Before I format and re-install I will read the links linney gave me more completely, but they mostly looked like the CHDSK and FIXBOOT stuff I...

    Copy files from dead system

    I have a friend who's XP install is getting stop error :UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. I've read all about it and I none of the solutions with CHKDSK or the like work. I hooked it up to my own working system and I can see most files, but the ones she really wants are in her My Documents folder, and I...

    Report Formating

    Right, sorry about that. I think I meant double. Was working on some C++ just before answering. This code works for one record, but I didn't think about the fact that the .tops will stay where you put them. After each record you need to find a way to put all the controls back where they were...
