Access 2007 Compact problems
I've just installed SP1 for Access 2007. Before the Service Pack, Compact and Repair would create a new compacted file called Database.mdb but wouldn't rename it to the name of the original file (which is what happened in Access 2003). Now it doesn't create a copy at all! Note that this only happens if you are Compacting a file on a network drive. It works fine on a local drive (but since all my work is on a network drive, it's a hassle to say the least) I suppose this is a fix for the intermittent problem whereby Compact would sometimes delete the file altogether (thankfully...

Template styles in Word 2007
I previously created templates in word 2003. Now I have upgraded to 2007, when I create a new doc using my templates, the layout and all is ok, but when I add text and wish to apply 'my styles' they do not appear anywhere? I only seem to have access to the word 2007 styles?! How can I access the styles I created in 2003? Thank you, QB If you can't see the style name in the Styles pane (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S), try changing the display options for styles. In the Styles pane, click Options. Choose "All styles" for "Select styles to show." Before c...

What is an audience and what is it used for?
Subject pretty much says it all An audience is a way to target items in a SharePoint deployment to specific groups of people based on any number of common attributes. With audiences you can filter what items get displayed on a page, which documents are presented via a web part and the like. They are ways to filter stuff that the user sees. They are not security, but simply filters. You can target things like web parts, documents, links and so on. As an example: if I was to place two web parts on a page, one that displayed a picture of a Coke bottle and one that displayed a pic...

What account to use?
Hello, In Holland there is a new sort of bank-account on which you can deposit (a part of) your (untaxed) income. You can save it up to a certain maximum, that will allow you to go on a vacation, a sabattical or early retirement. You will then be able to get paid from that account, of which the income will then be taxed. I hope that this explanation will be sufficient to give me some leads as to what account to use and how to use it. It's obvious that the deposits will come directly from my paycheck, but maybe I should use a special sort of account. Thanks, Eric In microsoft...

Email already in use
After trying to assign an email address to a user i recieved an error stating that the email address was already in use. After hours of investigating I found that (i think) my top Level Public Folder had been assigned the email address I want to use. When I enter the address into the To: field of Outlook the address changes from info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com to Public Folder Store(xxxxxxxxxxx). If possible can I access the properties of Public Folder Store(xxxxxxxxxxx) so that I can remove the email address. Kind Regards Iain This article has some illustrations on how to change public...

When and Why to use Set X = Y
Using XL 2003 Noticed different techniques to "energize" a variable, ie: X = Y+2 Set X = Y.Z Could someone please explain or point me to an explanation of these different techniques. I do realize that they are not the same but I do not know why and when to use them. TIA Dennis Set is used when creating an object variable, such as a worksheet or a range, e.g. Set mySheet = Activesheet or Set myRange = Activesheet.Range("A1:A10") you can then manipulate this object in your code. The other form just sets that variable to the value. -- HTH RP "De...

Using a ListCtrl
Hi, I have a listctrl for which the view property is set to Report. I am trying to emulate a grid. I have been able to add values into each row and column (50x20) On the OnClickList event how do I find out which row and column I have clicked on ?? Also how easy is it to change the background color and font of a particular row and column?? Thanks in advance! No need to "reinvent the wheel", probably.

Form Add-On or feature with explorer (help please)

using Forms and VBA within Excel
I need to develop an application with Excel which will include Forms and VBA code. I have done small projects like this before but this will be significantly larger with 6-10 forms and navigation (via command buttons) between the forms. I have heard rumors that forms within Excel can be troublesome (e.g. they can disappear without warning). I have never had problems with this before. But still wanted to ask the community - are there know issues with using Forms and VBA within Excel. The main functionality of the app will be to validate and capture data, store the data in Excel a...

Description of reasons for Word 2007 macro-enabled document (.DOCM)?
I see the new .DOCM extension in Word 2007 to indicate a macro-enabled document. Is there an advantage to putting macros in a DOCM rather than a DOTM and its associated DOCX? What are the reasons for this new format? Is it a way of avoiding having two files? We use our template only for macros so maybe we could put everything in a DOCM rather than having both a DOTM and DOCX. I couldn't find any detailed info on the Microsoft web site about this new file format, other than just to say it's a macro-enabled document. Is there a discussion about it somewhere? Thanks. On ...

Outlook blocks access
I am trying to sync my large address book in Outlook with my phone using Bluetooth. When I open the connection Outlook tells me an application is trying to open Outlook & allows a maximum of 10minutes to get the information it requires. Unfortunately that's not enough time for my phone to sync all the contacts. Can I disable this feature on a temporary or permanent basis? or can I increase the maximum allowed time currently offered by Outlook. Any help gratefully received Chris Check with your synchronization tool vendor for a newer version that avoids the security prompt....

Access 97 to 2002/2003 via JRO/OLEDB
I am able to successfully convert an Access97 database to Access2000, but not directly to Access2003. It appears that 2000 and 2003 use the same Jet database version, but when I open an Access2000 database in Access2003, it says that it is an older version and must be converted to Access2003 before I can use it fully. I would like to create an Access2003 directly using JRO and/or ADO without the need and hassle of opening it in Access to do the conversion. Interestingly, I am able to successfully open an Access2003 (created within Access2003 and not programmatically) using ADO Jet provider ...

How Can I Suspend the Security Check for Programs Trying to Access E-Mail Messages?
I'm running an Outlook Duplicates Remover. As a result, a message keeps popping up alerting me to the fact that the duplicates remover is trying to access e-mail addresses. That's fine ONCE! But when I click on the Yes button to let it continue, the security protection insists that I limit the time to a few minutes; 10 at most. That's nowhere near enough, and I'd really rather not have to baby-sit that application all day. It will run for many HOURS! So, I hope there's a way to temporarily (like for a day) suspend that security check. So, I'd greatly appre...

Excel Grid to Form in Same File???
Hey guys- Just wondering here- I have a standard Excel sheet with all my cols and rows and formulas. I then typically mail merge that into a Word Form/Template for my final printout (this has all the corresponding fields in the form). I am wondering if I can just keep all this in Excel- within 1 file. So, what that looks like is I have my standard Excel grid as normal, but then, maybe on another worksheet, my Template/Form thing that I created that merges the fields from the grid into the print-pretty version of the form. I can then scroll through my forms as if I am scrolling down the rows o...

Check box on continuous form
I have a continuous form listing available parts. I need to be able to select a part from the list using a check box (or something that will give a true if selected).

How display digital camera photo on form and print on report?
A client wants to add digital camera photos to a multiuser equipment maintenance database. I do not plan to store the photos in the .mdb, but rather in a folder in the same location as the .mdb. In the .mdb I plan to store the equipment id, the path to the photo, and other fields that will allow multiple photos of a piece of equipment on the same day plus other fields to make the equipment id unique for each photo. So far so good! What object do I use to show the photo on a form? An unbound object frame sounds like what I want, but can't see how to specify the path to the photo...
