    opening a Child form with parameters

    Thanks all My clumbsy method is the same as WildbillH. It would seem that it is not as clumbsy as I first thought. One question though, what is the difference in CPU/system resource usage between the above two methods? ciaran ciaranr@albany.jrc.net.au

    Count how many in Recordset

    Michael Bronner The method adopted by edrev is more pertinent with ADO. A direct corollory to this is to check for the existence of records in a recordset. Sometimes checking for recordcount > 0 is not always accurate. I adopt a tip passed to me. Namely; If not(adorecset.bof = true and...

    Help! Printer/Network/DOS

    Rename a table in an Ms. Access Database from VB ?

    Update a Query through VB Code?

    mavors I can see quite clearly why you would want to modify the query in VB Code if, and only if, you are inexperienced in adcmdtext recordset.open command strings. Try something different. If the system that you are using runs under VB on an access database, get use to using either stored...

    accessing LPT for sending raw data

    My problem was similar to yours except that I wanted to send raw data to a dot matrix printer on a network. Whilst setting up a printer as a dot matrix 9pin was an option a simple work around is to determine the network printers location using printer.port (will show \\blahh\blah) etc and then...

    Has anyone come across a situation where a key is pressed with an sstab having the focus and the keypress is registered TWICE? Whilst, at first glance, this may seem to be a programming bug, step debug of the form's key-up event clearly shows the event is fired twice. it is not fired twice when...
