Hi Andy I've made a few minor changes to this DEMO database - version 2 attached if anyone is interested Multi Monitors v2.zip 1. On opening the db, the cursor is restricted to the active form & all buttons are disabled except Enable Cursor & Quit. Clicking Enable Cursor also enables all...

Hi strongm I've now managed to get this to work in a standard Access form and have effectively achieved my aim of disabling the secondary monitor Unfortunately I haven’t managed to master the intricacies of the display settings API Instead I’ve restricted the mouse to the active form window as...

Hi strongm Just tested the code you provided using ClipCursor API In a new form with just a single button, the cursor certainly disappeared BUT on both monitors so I couldn't click the button to release it again However moving the mouse around and clicking repeatedly, the cursor reappears...

Yes the file is downloaded to the local computer and then loaded into the report or form. However for the static Google maps I am using, it is instantaneous. I also overwrite the same map.BMP file each time I change the postcode to avoid wasting disk space.

Apologies to @strongm. Below is a copy of my own reply from my own thread (hopefully I can at least get that right!) [bigsmile] ====================================================================== It was late & I copied / pasted your code as you correctly pointed out. Just to make things...

Apologies to @strongm. It was late & I copied / pasted your code as you correctly pointed out. Just to make things worse, I tried to be 'helpful' by also pasting in the other thread OK - the alternative code I found (can't remember where or the author) is as follows: Option Compare Database...

I had exactly the same problem with the supplied code. I found this alternative code which worked perfectly for many online images Option Compare Database Option Explicit Private Declare Function CLSIDFromString Lib "ole32" (ByVal lpstrCLSID As Long, lpCLSID As Any) As Long Private Declare...

I have done some more research in this topic and found some alternative code: Option Compare Database Option Explicit Private Declare Function CLSIDFromString Lib "ole32" (ByVal lpstrCLSID As Long, lpCLSID As Any) As Long Private Declare Function OleLoadPicturePath Lib "oleaut32" (ByVal...

Oops Thanks for the link to the VERY recent thread! Exactly the same issue as me Apologies for not doing a forum search first I know I've followed strongm's instructions exactly I'm using Access 2010 32-bit though I doubt that's relevant Colin

I'm trying to include an online map for a UK postcode in an Access report. I'd already tried using a web browser control exactly as I'd used in a form. It doesn't work Then I found this old thread via a Google search http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1758167 The solution by strongm...

Thanks strongm Busy today but will test this out in next couple of days and report back Colin

I've already checked which Windows & Access versions are in use by the client. That was done before starting this project.

Many thanks for the link strongm which I will investigate further That's one I hadn't found with various google searches Your suggestion of limiting the mouse to the primary monitor is another route to investigate Do you have a link to any code for that as well?

@kjv1611 OK I accept that until I test it on a variety of setups I won't know for sure... I'm not saying that APIs haven't changed. However , one thing at a time The first task is to see if I can get this to work on my Windows 10 dual monitor system. If I can, then I'll test it on other...

Hi Here's a detailed reply to you both... @Andrzejek It's a request from a client for a kiosk style database For reasons of their own, they want a highly locked down database where users cannot 'escape' the database when it is open. That's to overcome issues they've had in the past Their users...

Hi I have found various code to control multiple monitors displays e.g. using C# or VB e.g. http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1669894 However, I want to do this using VBA in Access. My goal is to disable the 2nd monitor programmatically Ideally it would be 'Show Monitor 1 only' but...
