Access 2003 resets form variables during debugging while the form is open
Hello, I am using MS Access 2003. (FWIW, this is about an ADP project, not MDB.) A form has a variable that is initialized (by some function call) in Form_Load() and then stays unchanged for the form's entire lifetime. (In a language more advanced than VBA, it would be a constant, not a variable; unfortunately, in VBA I cannot initialize a constant by non- constant expression). Specifically, in my case it looks like this: Private sTempFileName as String ... Private Sub Form_Load() ... sTempFileName = GenerateTempFileName(...) ... End Sub Priv...

Fax Icon on my File menu and toolbar
I had a Fax Icon on my toolbar and also on the file menu. All of a sudden it is gone and I want it back. Where did it go? Was it a dedicated toolbar? Or was it just icons on a builtin toolbar? If it was a dedicated toolbar, you may get lucky and find it under: Tools|customize|toolbars tab (just not selected) But if it was on a builtin toolbar (along with the file menu), then maybe you reset your toolbar--also under: Tools|customize|toolbars tab selecting a toolbar and hitting the reset button. If that's what happened, I think I might try to find the Fax addin/workbook that added t...

Concatenation question
I am trying to concatenate two fields and then add text in brackets to the end. Here is what I have: StaffFullName = ([Me.LastName] & ", " & [Me.FirstName] & " (Mgr)") I want the end result to be: Smith, Mary (Mgr) How do I achieve this?

Cannot open Excel attachment from e-mail when Excel is already ope
This is driving me crazy. If I already have Excel open (with or with out a spreadsheet open) I cannot open an Excel spreadsheet attached to an e-mail.

140 MB file went to 5.08 MB after editting 1 table
Hello All - I need some ACCESS insight...please... Several years ago, I built an access db to track my business scheduling and accounts payable/receivable. So this database is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ME. The file has grown to 140 MB. Today I made a copy of the file and then edited my calendar table. I removed all columns which had 2006 data (72 totals columns) - the table had about 144 columns originally. I then added 72 columns with 2008 headers. These columns are now blank since I have not added any 2008 data yet. Afterwards, I looked around and everything looks good - my 2007 data is the...

a few basic question about resource files
Hi, I have an application that uses resource files to contain the string values for each language. I have created the required resource files in my project, but I don't speak the languages I wish to have resources for. What I would like to do, is somehow allow the end user to edit the resource file themselves so they can set the string values as needed. Is there a way to edit the resource files that ship with my application and get installed ? or Is there a way to have external resource files (not embedded into my application) that can be updated/replaced with o...
