    I don't have necessary permissions?

    Forgot to mention, I tried to run the WRKGADM.EXE utility, but I wasn't sure what to put in the fields, especially the 'WorkGroup ID' field. And I wasn't sure if this was the correct way to recreate the SYSTEM.MDW file. Thanks

    I don't have necessary permissions?

    When I try to open a particular (unsecured) Access 2000 database, I get the error "You do not have the necessary permissions to use the EmpTrk.mdb object. Have your system administrator..." Other people are able to open this database fine, so the only explanation that I can think of is that I...

    Wrapping long Me.Print text

    Hi Duane, I've got all that in my code; I was just explaining my reason for not using a regular text box. I only need further assistance if someone has another idea of how to get the output of Me.Print to wrap. Thanks, Mike

    Wrapping long Me.Print text

    Hi Duane, What I was trying to do was to add formatting to the output. Like Me.Print strPart1; Me.FontUnderline = True Me.Print strPart2; Me.FontUnderline = False Me.Print strPart3 Thanks, Mike

    Wrapping long Me.Print text

    I am trying to output a long text string in the Detail Band OnPrint event of a report using Me.Print. When the text is wider than the width of the page, however, it just gets cut off at the end of the first line. Is there any way to get the output of Me.Print to wrap? Thanks, Mike

    Link VFP table using VFP OLEDB driver

    Thanks PH. Sounds promising. But I still am not quite sure how to do it. But just having you say that that is a way to get it done, gives me a reason to pursue further in that direction.

    Link VFP table using VFP OLEDB driver

    Hi, I have an application that uses VFP 9 data. I tried to create a link from Access using ODBC, but I get an error. I read that the VFP ODBC driver doesn't support the latest VFP features (I suspect that this database may use new datatypes) and that it is recommended to use the VFP OLEDB...

    Access menu events

    Thanks Zameer. That might be what I need to do. I would have thought that there was a way to write code for events of the standard menu, but I guess that replacing it with my own is just as easy. Mike

    Access menu events

    Thanks Duane.. Again I see I may be looking in the wrong direction to do what I need. Is there any way to tell from the On Current method that it was called from the user choosing Insert | New Record? Mike

    Access menu events

    What I am trying to do is run some commands when someone chooses Insert | New Record from the Access main menu when a form is open. Then I would like to return control to Access for it to do it's normal function. Is this possible? I have searched around and can't find any info. Mike

    Print a batch of checks

    Thanks powella. That is what I ended up doing and it works well. Mike

    Print a batch of checks

    Thanks Duane. That sounds like a good approach. But would there be any way to let the user preview the run, and cancel if they wanted? Mike

    Print a batch of checks

    I need to print a batch of checks, and also update related data in the database. For example, for each check that is printed, I want to create a record in the checks table. Also, each check may be paying for multiple things, and I want to record the 'Paid with check Number' info. I am trying...

    Update newly added record

    Roy-Vidar, This approach works fine. Thank you! Every time I think that I need to directly access the data from a form method, it turns out that I didn't need to after all. Thanks again! Mike Collins

    Update newly added record

    Ok, that is encouraging. But I don't know how to do it.

    Update newly added record

    I have a form with a datasheet subform. The subform has 2 bound fields. What I am trying to do is, when a record is added via the subform, I want to populate some additional fields of the added record (based on some unbound controls on the form). Is this possible, maybe using the After Insert...

    Complete report in page header?

    Oh I see I was comparing pixels and points. If I use 6 pixel DrawWidth it looks just right. Mike

    Complete report in page header?

    Thanks Duane. I did them in the On Page event and it worked great also. The only thing is that I was not able to get the line thickness quite what I wanted. I put a Me.DrawWidth = 2 in the On Page handler code (and even tried 3) but it seemed to barely have any effect. Mike

    Complete report in page header?

    Thanks Duane, this approach works great. I just have to put in the vertical lines, but I guess I can do that in the Detail Band. Mike

    Complete report in page header?

    I am trying to create a 'sign-in sheet' report. It needs to have the people's names printed on each row. The sign-in sheet has 15 rows, but there may be only 3-4 people to be listed for a given report. I want the sign-in sheet to print all 15 sign-in rows, even if there are less people than...
