    I'd like to create a shortcut bar similar to the basic MS Outlook one down the left side of my database. The buttons would open other forms, reports etc. Any tips for doing this? I know I could create a form with buttons that opens screens using macros, but it would take a lot of fiddling...

    Access 2002 and Handwriting Recognition

    How do I use the Office XP handwriting tools with Access? They start up automatically for Word2002 and all the product spec seems to say handwriting works with all Office XP programs. Yet when I start up Access, the tools disappear! Basically I want to use handwriting to input data on a form.

    Displaying the text of a book correctly

    Thanks Guys. Both of these suggestions are probably worth trying but for now I seem to have come up with a different solution. I created a crosstab query, then on a report based on that query, placed text box controls that were linked to each column. The report was grouped by page, then line...

    Displaying the text of a book correctly

    I wish to store the text of some childrens books (eg picture books which have only a few words on a page) in a database. Each word must be a new record as it will have a response associated with it as the child reads. For example, the table will have the fields: ISBN, pageNo, LineNo, WordNo...

    Who made my Ebuyer drive?

    I bought a new motherboard, case, ram etc to upgrade my machine but kept this troublesome drive. Well the drive still didn't work so I got an RMA and have sent it back to Ebuyer. They have returned it to the manufacturer and informed me it could take up to 28 days. It has been 20 days so far...

    Who made my Ebuyer drive?

    Thanks paparazi. I got the details I outlined in the first post by looking at the bios (F10 setup - it's a Compaq) and apart from those details there was no mention of a brand or maker. I was hoping someone could decipher the model name etc. I've tried searching for various parts of the model...

I also created a subroutine to carry out this positioning with each...

    Export report to static HTML as one page

    Exporting a multipage report to a static HTML page creates multiple HTML files - one for each page of the report. Is there a way to export the report and create just one HTML page? (Preferably using code applied to a command button).
