    Detect invalid paths for custom backup form and customize msgbox

    Oh, I didn't know that copying tables only does the same amount of work as copying the entire database. So you mean tables occupy similar file size as the database and the copying of tables take just as long as that for the database? What you're currently working on seems relevant to my...

    Detect invalid paths for custom backup form and customize msgbox

    Junior, what if I only want to do a auto backup on the tables since only data in the tables are updated everytime, possible? So whenever someone closes the database, only the tables will be copied over to the auto backup database that contains tables only. I'm afraid when the database grows to...

    My PC is running on Windows NT 4 and I'm using Access 97. I've installed snapshot viewer and I'm able to export almost all of my reports in snapshot format, except for weekly and monthly reports.

    I've a custom backup form with three textboxes; ActivePath (Path of current DB), BckupPath (Path of Backup DB) and Name (An optional field if user wants to include a name to the folder of the backup DB, else saved as default name). There are two identical browse buttons next to the textboxes...

    General Qns about Access

    4: i would keep that in the same place that you're sharing the database from, then reference it in the users pc, or in the shortcut to open the database... Do you mean assigning the path of the workgroup files to where I store the database (shared drive on the network)? 6: The record source of...

    General Qns about Access

    Junior, I've been encountering many problems when I carried out the pilot run of my DMS. 1. #Name? appears on forms and reports for date field (on certain PCs but not all, a particular one runs on NT). 2. Only data in the report headers are displayed when reports are emailed to recipients...

    When I email a snapshot report to a recipient, working on Win98, only data on the report header is shown, the rest of it is missing. This is not a problem for WinNT. Why?

    Allow user to update from the form BUT not table

    On my main switchboard, OnClick of a particular button displays the database window. I was thinking whether it is possible to deny user access to viewing the database window and at the same time grant him permissions to insert, delete and edit the data in the table, bound to the form. In this...

    Prevent OnEnter of subform from adding the record on the main form

    I don't quite get what you mean but what I did was to use a list box instead of a subform. In this way, whatever I do to the list box has no effect on the main form. Can't think of a better solution...
