Hi Robert
Thank you for your ideas. I'd be interested to know if you find anything, or can create something that is workable. I'm not a programmer.
In the end I just went with what was within my own capabilities - users can download the Access fil…
I read what AccessGuy posted as a solution, and there are always more than one way to do things, especially in the programming world. So, while I agree with the shortcut solution being one viable option, another might be to write a VBA module that w…
Thanks so much Access Guy - you've presented the perfect solution. Yes, I will be putting some help files on the web, so I can make a step by step instruction file for that issue.
I've never tried to run different versions of Access on the same PC…

Explain why you answered that way and tell us more about your self and experience.

Wow thankyou Patrick. I now have my new MS Office 2007 so can get started on my first project on Accces 2007, hopefully dipping into a lot of the resources posted so far.
I have also found on ebay the full Library of Bilbles for Microsoft Office fo…

Hello Stephanie,
I apologize, I replied to your question a few weeks ago about Richard Rost's online courses. But I don't see my reply posted here. Richard has short free targeted demos, and he also has more extensive targeted courses that you can…
I am new to this group but I can see that there is enough expertise here that we who are able can take turns writing tips - articles, etc. sharing our knowledge. If we could assess the knowledge we have among ourselves then someone could organize a…
