Actually, that thread looks very promising - I think it will work. Thanks very much for providing that... Now, regarding what seems to be your thinly veiled skepticism that I actually looked for relevant threads: believe it or not, the search terms "shortcut" and "target&quot...

Thanks, but I tried that already. I found a couple of threads that looked promising, but nothing that I was able to make work.

I've got some code in my little application that allows users to browse for folders through a dialog box. However, in the browse dialog box, some of the folders shown - for example, those under My Network Places - are actually folder shortcuts, rather than actual folders. I know how to...

Thanks, DrJavaJoe and paulbent. I give both of these suggestions a go.

How can I return the full network address of a mapped drive, rather than just the local path and locally issued drive letter (e.g. "//computer1/folder1" instead of, say, "m:/folder1")? I've tried the GetAbsolutePathName method of the FileSystemObject, but I believe that it...

Thanks, Frink and BSMan. Frink, you were spot on about what was happening. I implemented both of your ideas and my form works great now. Thanks again for the help!

Not exactly sure what you mean by "at a given date", but maybe this will help get you started... http://www.accessfreak.net/KeywordSearchDetail.asp?page=13&order=id&recordkey=195

I've got a form - "Orders" - that has a subform called "Order Items." I've set the On Current property of the Orders form to disallow edits (e.g. Me.AllowEdits = False) in order to prevent accidental editing (the user can bypass this by pressing an "Edit" button)...

I've got a form - "Orders" - that has a subform called "Order Items." I've set the On Current property of the Orders form to disallow edits (e.g. Me.AllowEdits = False) in order to prevent accidental editing (the user can bypass this by pressing an "Edit" button)...

Never mind, I figured it out. I modified one of the command buttons on the main Orders form to set the AllowAdditions subform property to True.

I have a form (Orders) that has a subform (Order Details), both of which have queries as their record sources. In the course of trying to make sure that users don't accidentally add, edit, or delete an Order Detail record, I added some code to the On Current event of the Order Details subform...

thanks!

How can I make the following code not only return the subfolders within a folder, but also return subfolders within subfolders, ad infinitum? ______________________________________________________ Sub LoopDeLoop(strPath As String) Dim objFSO As FileSystemObject Dim objFolder As Folder Dim...

Thanks, vb5prgrmr...had to modify to suit Access VBA environment, and it worked great!

Is there a way to extract any/all of the File Description elements for a given file? To further clarify, in Win2K - and maybe other Win OS's (?) - , when you right-click on a file to get its properties, and click on the Summary tab, there are a number of Description elements that users can...

Thanks for your help. I should have specified that all of the files are plain text files, in .txt format. I tried saving one of them as a Word Document, but unfortunately, it looks like Word loses the comments in the conversion. Is there any way to either get Word to preserve these comments...

Is there a way, using VBA, to extract any/all of the File Description elements for a given file? To further clarify, in Win2K - and maybe other Win OS's (?) - , when you right-click on a file to get its properties, and click on the Summary tab, there are a number of Description elements that...

Wait, I may have figured it out - it I had to uncheck the ActiveX 2.5 library. Your solution worked great. Thanks!

Thanks, Wayne. You're exactly right - the text file is just a bunch of filenames (with full paths) that I want to read into that table, except for a few header lines at the top. Anyways, that fixed the "variable required" problem, but now I'm getting a "type mismatch" error...

I've read thru some other tek-tips.com posts on how to programmatically import text files into a table in Access, and I came across some code (below) that I'm trying to make work: ---------------------------------------- Sub ImportTarFiles(strFileName As String) Dim dbs As Database Dim rst As...
