    Hello Visio people I have a product, ControlDraw, which is a diagram based modelling system. People seem to want Visio output, so I am looking into ways to export the diagrams as Visio files.

    Can't Find Installable ISAM on some iinstallations

    My customer tried running the Jet4 service pack, but his system said there was no need to run it as the Service Pack of his system was newer. My test program already tests that it can create a database in code, which works Sub maketestDB() '********************** On Error Resume Next Dim...

    Can't Find Installable ISAM on some iinstallations

    As the PC's are in aother country I do not get my hands on them unfortunately. re "There were also some problems with a mix up ...."

    Can't Find Installable ISAM on some iinstallations

    Jet 4 and DAO3.6 are installed with the setup. As I said it works on most installations, the problem happens on just a few non English machines. Even the customers who have the problem have found that it works fine on a VM Ware virtual machine. I think it may be a Microsoft bug.

    This is standard XP/Explorer behaviour, introduced with SP2 (I think, may be wrong) You can just click top the bar normally to allow installation of the ActiveX Or use Tools Options Security in Explorer to change the setting.

    Access 97 - 2000 DAO Differences

    appendChunk to get a bytestream into an OLE field I believe you would get around the problem" And indeed that works, thanks. In fact I was storing picture files in memo fields before, and was compressing them first (using ZLIB). It seems in DAO 3.51 the memo fields are treated differently to...

    Access 97 - 2000 DAO Differences

    Thank you that explains a bit. Is there a Microsoft reference to this somewhere? More information - the data that I am putting in the memo fields is compressed, so I can't see why Chinese or other would make any difference. By the way am experimenting with changing to OLE fields instead of...

    How to delete an .ldb file.

    I have sometimes found that an Access database that needs repairing does not delete it's LDB file when the last user leaves. Try repairing the database.

    How to delete an .ldb file.

    You should not need to delete the LDB file, that should happend automatically when there are no users left. Are you sure that the program closes the database properly? IE it closes all the recordsets it has open and then closes the database.
