  • GC,

    Wow - the possibilities are literally endless...

    First thing I would check - does it compile? If so, I would make sure your security settings are relaxed enough to at a minimum show the Enable bar... read up on trust settings...

    Those are the absolute basic checks. Without seeing or knowing any other info; if these don't work, it will be next to impossible to assist.

    Best of Luck,
    Ke...

    replied to OK button VB codes in login form
    I have to second Neo's reccomendation of pulling the logged in user. With all the passwords we are required to remember in today's realm - it's easier to use the measures in place already. Another positive aspect is you don't have to worry about lockouts and it takes a more "savy" explorer to figure out how to change permissions.

    replied to create a search form
    Dums,

    Not sure the reasoning behind VBA, however if you would like to use a query to drive the form...

    Create query to drive "frm_beneficiry " with the elements you would like to see.

    Create an unbound text box control [filterText] on your search form.

    Create a cmd_button to requery results (
    Code:
     DoCmd.Requery
    )(after user puts information in the box they can launch the query).

  • Thanks Neo!

    Forgot all about driving public functions from the properties. It's the easiest things that always get me - and being the only programmer, makes it hard to bounce ideas.

    For anyone else requiring a solution similar:

    create unbound text box of form (txtStatus)

    set the properties to:

    On Got Focus: =setStatusBarTe xt()
    On Lost Focus: =clearStatusBar Text()

    ...

  • unbound textbox to display Status Bar Text when control has focus

    Good day,

    I have racked my head against the wall so much over this I believe I have a flat spot....

    Customer desires a form with a larger font for the Status Bar Text and located elsewhere on the screen - make shift instructions when a user clicks on a field.

    While the simple answer is to utilize on.gotFocus and on.lostFocus the form has around 100 controls and not only a pain to code, but clutter is horrible....

    Thanks TSC! That was the road I was thinking, just needed a reality check.

    Understand all on the naming convention; just wanted to make the example as simple as possible.

    Thanks again for your help,

    Happy Holidays,

  • Thanks Fish, and Thank you Neo!!

    I'm pretty good at figuring things out; just need a small push in the right direction at times :)

    I have setup the Many-to-Many relationship; I understand the concept, still doing some research on the limitations. Thats one thing I have noticed about all these expensive books... They are always more then happy to tell how to do something, but never the why and ramification....

  • The *animal* field is where I have speed bumps.

    I have been working with each animal having its own field in the tbluser

    example:
    tbluser
    cat - yes/no
    dog - yes/no
    gerbil - yes/no
    hedgehog - yes/no
    etc..... (you can see now the redunancy issues)

    or

    new table:
    tblAnimal
    animal - text - linked to the tbluser!animal for list capabilities...

    Table Architecture to Host super-multi query

    replied to Survey Database
    Trixx,

    I am in the same boat as you. Not sure how "large" your company is, but for the Navy this is how I have mine setup.

    Send the database to command. They share the database to all users with modify permissions.

    End user creates own unique login/password.

    Survey is complete; admin returns survey via (email, cd, sneaker net, or txt output).

    Another set of eyes.....

    Good day,

    I have inhereted an Access DB that is used to ask people questions about network maintance. I have been tasked with ripping this thing apart and creating a new version. I have most of everything figured out, but need some advice on the actually query of the questions.
