    Sync Calendars without a server

    My partner and I have a Treo 650 and we would like to be able to have its calendar sync to another calendar (either web based or on a pc that is connected via DSL), but I do not have an exchange server, or any server set up. Ideally I would be able to make changes to the calendar on my treo...

    Annoying Problem

    If you are still having the issue with your report, I would suggest going a slightly approach. On Print (in the detail) if me.type = 0 then me.description.visible = false if me.type = 1 then me.description.visible = true or vise versa depending on which value means what.

    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Timeout expired

    I am having the same problem. The table (TBL) I am pulling records from has about 3.9 million records and about 60 fields for each record. I have 4 non-clustered indexes on fields A, B, C, and D. There are no other indexes on the table. A being a unique field to the record, but not a unique...

    Using MySQL as a Back end

    I have a couple MS access aplications that I have developed to be used by clients in managing their data. I have split these applications into a front end (containing only forms, reports and a scratch table) and a back end (containing the data in various tables). Currently both front ends...

    simple IF Statement (or should be!)

    You probably don't need this, but I've found it helpful in the past. I've had trouble with the &quot;If value = &quot;&quot; or isnull(value) = true then...&quot; statement. The way I've gotten around it is to not use value = &quot;&quot;, but instead use len(value) < 1. I have found this to...

    Windows 2003 Terminal Services

    Is it correct that you need to purchase both TS CALs and regular User CALs or is a user CAL &quot;included&quot; with the TS CAL? My Server 2003 came with 5 client licenses, which I learned are not for TS, but just to allow 5 users acces to the box. So it is my understnading that to set it up...

    Setting the User Environment

    FYI- It does appear to need active directories. You can create an OU within the users and grouips management console. The created OU can then be set with its own group policies. It is actually rather straight forward once I switched the server to active directories.

    Setting the User Environment

    How do I set or change a OU? I am currently not as active directories, does this make a difference? Should I change to active directory? I appreciate your help on this. Jay

    Setting the User Environment

    I'm looking to set up a custom user environment when users log in via Terminal Services. Ideally a user would log into my server and an application will automatically start up. When the user exits or closes the application it forces a log off from the server. The user has no interaction with...

    Terminal Services and Printing

    What OS is your laptop running? The new windows OS should automatically enable local printing while using terminal services. Not that it helps any, but Server 2003 does enable client printers and drives. I was told that server 2000 does as well.

    Moving from an Access Back End

    Ok. I think I completely misunderstood PHP. My thought was that it could be the intermediary between MySQL and MS access, as the ODBC drivers currently do. I gather from your reply that PHP would be used to create a completely different kind of front end?

    Moving from an Access Back End

    Thanks for the help. Can you direct me to more information on PHP. Can it be used to link an access front end to a mysql back end?

    Moving from an Access Back End

    On my DSN configuration I have &quot;Don't Optimize Column Width&quot; and &quot;Return Matching Rows&quot; checked, and everything else is left blank. Also I have tried where I create a DSN file (?) and as a System Data source, do either of these work better than the other? Thanks

    Moving from an Access Back End

    I have successfully created pass through queries, but it doesn't seem to have solved the problem. Using the ODBC driver linked tables or the pass through queries work with a smaller back end, but it still just hangs up with a larger data set. Could it be a timing out problem? When I just run...

    Moving from an Access Back End

    I will try that. Thanks.

    Moving from an Access Back End

    Can you give me an example of the pass through query? For example, I have a form or report that has a record source saved as a query. What, if anything would need to be changed? Thanks, Jay

    Moving from an Access Back End

    I have created an Access application that to this point has both its front end and back end in MS Access. The application has worked with multiple back ends some ranging from 25 - 40,000 kb to 1 gig and could possibly grow even larger (not from bloating). Obviously the performance isn't as...

    Access Newbie

    I'd go with the Office Developer option mentioned by JoeEskimo. 1. No and Yes. There are some plug ins that allow one to convert a .mdb to a visual basic application (this is an .exe) but they have all been real buggy and involved a lot of re-writing code. 2. Yes and No. If your friend's...

    Split Database Processing Speed

    I have a similar problem with an application I made. It works on several different back ends. With smaller back ends (40,000 kb) there is no real lag time, but on a larger back end (300,000 kb), or when it links to a MySQL data source there is a significant lag time. Will the open bound form...
