Modal form opens on startup - can't get past it. Help?
Evenin' - I hope this doesn't come across as stupid, but I'm almost completely unfamiliar with Access. A client of mine has an Access 2000 database containing some business information, and he'd like to have me import it into Quickbooks. The problem I have is that I cannot get to the information to export it from Access. When the file is opened, I get a (I presume) modal form, configured as a 'splash screen' type of thing. Has my client's logo, and the name of the fellow who wrote the Access app. Click that, and it closes, then opens another form for entering clients, job information, and the like. There is apparently no way to close that form or access the database window without closing the database and exiting Access. There is no toolbar, menu bar, or the like displayed. Is there a shortcut or workaround that will allow me to access the database window? I need to get this done soon, if possible, due to year-end (tax) issues. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Uncle Wulf, You can see if holding down the Shift Key, on your keyboard, while opening the database gets you to the Database Container. -- Gina Whipp "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "Uncle Wulf" <uncle@wulf.net> wrote in message news:t9oij5p4js4hhe6g0lmalt5gu7j8de0466@4ax.com... > Evenin' - > > I hope this doesn't come across as stupid, but I'm almost completely > unfamiliar with Access.

Have you tried opening the application while pressing the shift key? If that doesn't work, you might try create a new MDB file and linking to the tables in the original MDB. -- Duane Hookom Microsoft Access MVP "Uncle Wulf" wrote: > Evenin' - > > I hope this doesn't come across as stupid, but I'm almost completely > unfamiliar with Access.

Workbooks Opening Maximized
Sometimes when I open workbooks they do not automatically open maximized. It is frustrating. I click on the left hand corner of the workbook and miximize and save the workbook but it still opens the next time with the corners not fully extended in Excel. Help.

Putting Excel Charts into a Word document that's getting too big
I am creating a Word document (our Annual Report) in which I will have many charts and graphs that were created in Excel. Currently, there will be at least 26 graphs/charts in the document. In the past, there have apparently been problems with not having enough space to save the Word document because it gets too big. The document itself is only about 36 pages, but, as I mentioned, within the 36 pages are at least 26 graphs and charts. I'm looking for a way to copy the graphs/charts into Excel without it taking so much memory. One solution we thought of was to only paste the gra...
Help! Problem running pst19upg.exe via SMS
I have written a vbscript that will utilize pst19upg.exe to strip a password from a pst file. (You may be asking yourself, why write a script to do this when you can do it from the cmd line? Well, this script is part of a much larger script, but I need this piece to work first.) Well, when I run the script out-of-pocket on my pc, everything works great and the passwords are removed. However, when the script is imported into an SMS package and pushed to my pc this way, the script fails completely. I have checked to see if this is a permissions issue, and that does not seem to be the case. An...
Non-modal dialog in CSplitterWindow???
Hello newsgroup, is it possible to show a non-modal dialog in a pane of a CSplitterWindow? The documentation says that CSplitterWindow may contain windows that are not views, but I have some doubts. Since CSplitterWindow's CreateView method assumes that the window _IS_ a view (it calls Wnd::Create, which is utterly inappropriate if I want to create a modeless dialog), I don't see how I can use CSplitterWindow. Is there any alternative to CSplitterWindow? Some words about my project: My app should display image data. This done via the common doc-view approach. There must be a dialog...

Get Random Date to return per record in Query
Query SELECT tblStaff.StaffName, RandomDateInRange(#1/1/2001#,#12/31/2001#) AS DateOne FROM tblStaff GROUP BY tblStaff.StaffName; Module Public Function RandomDateInRange(LowerDate As Date, UpperDate As Date) As Date Randomize RandomDateInRange = Int((UpperDate - LowerDate + 1) * Rnd + LowerDate) End Function Currently this query returns a random date, however it is the same one for the entire query. How can I get the each record in the query to have a seperate random date? I am trying to generate a random date for each staff member for QA purposes. Thanks, David On 5 Apr 2007 13:58:02...
Open a new form and closing the old form
I have two forms which are both popups. After the first one is displayed the user clicks on the the listbox on the form and in the on click event the second form is opened and the first form closes itself in succession.. DoCmd.OpenForm "secondform" DoCmd.Close acForm,"firstform" The thing is the query in the second form references the list box in the first form for a value. So far it works fine in testing but I was concerned whether the first form could close too fast before the second form is able to excute its query which references the first form. Robert R...

Word -cannot open file
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I have a large word file 663.7mb which no longer opens -get error message file over 32mb. Any ideas on how to open/ correct this ? Yes. Find yourself a copy of Word 2003 or Word 2007 for the PC and open it with that. Use File>Save As to save out of there as a new file. That's an old error message: a Word document can actually go up to about two gigabytes these days: but what it is telling you is that the code in the document is corrupt and Word can't lay it out properly in memory.
