    Groupwise Email from Access won't work more than once

    Hi Kerry, You got my attention! BTW nice code. The second time thru, does the operation fall thru to the PROC_ERR? Also, I noticed that you hide the cmdSend Button. When do you make it visible, on the onShow Event?

    "TOESHOT can you help again ?"

    1) Split the tables from the forms queries, etc. into another Access Database(mdb). 2) Store this mdb on a sharable location on the network. 3) Map (root) a drive letter to the location where the file is saved. If the data is on the same machine as the forms, you may have to use subst to map...

    Delphi 1.0 freezing with Windows 2K

    I'm surprised that your using Delphi 1.0. Delphi 1.0 was developed for Windows 3.x. And your using it on Windows2000 ! I guess kudos are due to those original developers at Borland. How are you accessing the SQL 6.5 with SQL Links?

    DisplayFormat of TDateTimeField/TFloatFields

    Quick Report operates at the dataset level and therefore operates at a lower level then TTable or TQuery which is where your formatting is usually applied. TQRDBText components have their own display formatting property that you can use to format the display of your data. Often I cheat, and...

    finding duplicates in a CSV file

    I know this is a Delphi forum, but I once had a huge text file that had to be imported into SQL for a Delphi app. I wrote some code using Delphi that opened the file read each line and converted some of the data from EBCIDIC to ASCII. I then rewrote the conversion in about 5 lines of Perl...

    hide an mdi child form

    Don't know if this will help, but I have two thoughts on this. 1) I believe MDI does not implement tiling and cascading on minimized windows, so you might be able to minimize the window prior to the action, then restore the window after the action. 2) I also believe that the tiling and...

    Is the BDE used?

    Steve - In my documentation (Delphi 3) ,it states that TQuery is a decendent of TDBDataSet which encapsulates the BDE to operate. So in this case, the BDE would be required. I have heard of, but have not tried other data access methods that do not use the BDE. These engines would derive their...

    Accessing textbox.text data in VBA (Access 2000)

    Had a similar problem. Just precede the access to the textbox with a textbox.setfocus() method call. Then you can access the text box. Don't know why you have to do it. But it works.

    I am learning Access VB so forgive

    Does it have to be via VB? Perhaps instead, you can create a macro or a query and call it from VB?

    Windows ME & Delphi

    I remember reading that there were problems with the system restore function in ME. I also remember that this function can be disabled which may help your problem. I don't however remember the details. System restore is supposed to be one of the great selling points for ME. Shame to have to...

    Is the BDE used?

    I believe the BDE is used isolate the components you mentioned (TQuery, etc. ) from the underlying native database access methods. I know ODBC does the same thing, but there are still native calls to ODBC that TQuery is unaware of. The BDE knows how to talk to ODBC, and therefore must still be...

    Splash Screen Trouble

    Believe it or not, I don't like to mess with the Project file, so I usually create and free the splash screen as part of the DataModule OnCreate Event. This way I also display status messages letting me know if everything is opening up properly on the data files. Here I also open up and...

    Quick Report Problem in Windows 2000

    I believe their were some prior threads that isolated this problem under W2K. The Temp Enviornment variable is too long for quick report using the default values. Change the Temp and tmp enviornment variables to something simple like c:\TEMP and the reports should work as they did before.
