    Moving MDF and LDF files

    Sounds like you need to Stop the SQL Server services, this should release your lock file (LDF) and allow you to move the MDF file. The LDF file is suppose to prevent you from moving it. Bill

    In addition to making your application an .MDE file (which compiles all of your VBA code so others can't view it), you can make an Access application that can be distributed to people without Access installed. You have to have the Developer edition of Microsoft Office which contains the...

    Calling up ActiveX Controls

    Chris, Althought I'm not expert at ActiveX controls...I think you could code in automatic registration. Make sure the control is copied into the system directory (I use a batch file to do this) Then register it using: regsvr32 ComponentName.dll Should work...anyone else feel free to...

    Document Scanning Help

    All, I successfully used a DLL called PajantImage (www.pajant.co.uk). This is a really inexpensive solution $39 to register and full re-distribution rights. Only problem I have is scanning multi-page documents. I can get it to scan one page at a time and save it either in the table or...

    Try running Maximize (DoCmd.Maximize) on the form's Load event and make sure you have the Pop-Up property set to Yes, this should have the form cover the entire screen and get rid of the menu bars as well. Bill

    Colouring items in a list

    Tony, I'm using Access 2000 so maybe it is a new feature in this version. Also my forms are all single form, but could you set the code in each fields Got Focus event, and then have some code do a quick "run-through" setting the focus on all fields on the form to achieve the...

    Listbox populate approach and error question

    So are you saying that your first listbox contains for example the players last names, and you want to be able to select those last names and then when you press the move button it copies the entire name (i.e., first MI and last) to the new box? Maybe it will help if I include the code I use to...

    Colouring items in a list

    Is your list on a form or report? You can set the conditional formatting properties for a report (or use VBA), I use this to color individual fields which are null in my report so I can quickly see what I'm missing. If its for a form you can set the color via VBA. Example: Private Sub...
