Read the latest
Access Unlimited newsletter online |
||
| Greetings to
you all from Sydney Australia. During the last month I developed a simple workflow document management system just like you would expect from SharePoint Server, only at a fraction of the cost. I love it when I can write Access software that would take a team of specialists to write in other environments. If only the world knew what they were missing out on :-( Enjoy the newsletter or should I say, enjoy the Blog links. Garry Robinson Access MVP and Editor of vb123.com and vb123.blogspot.com |

Garry's Access blog |
||
| Find how to
highlight text in a text, read a good article on SharePoint and Access
2007, find VBA code that will inform your users when they make a change
to a record and read some tricky VBA that will make a hidden Tab in a
Tab control visible. All this and more in Garry's Access Blog.

BLOATed Access Databases |
||
| Tom Wickerath,
Access MVP came up with this wonderful list of Access kbase articles on
topics that discuss bloating (expansion) of Access databases. Of
particular interest is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295245/en-us which discusses problems with the OpenQuery method that can be resolved by Execute method. |

Repair Damaged Access
Databases |
||
| vb123.com
offers an online repair system for Access databases. Included in the
latest version is the option to only repair tables rather than fix the
whole database. This reduces the cost of exercise. The system is setup
so that your data is encrypted and in most cases, you should be able to
recover a corrupt database in less than 30 minutes elapsed time.

Accurate and Efficient Data Entry Forms |

| I love these
free book chapter postings, here is one on Access 2007 forms.
Interesting are the notes on the Collecting Form Data via Email section
on page four of the article. |

hlp Files on Vista |
||
| If you deploy
an application or database that uses the .hlp file for documentation, it
may not work under Windows Vista. The guys from FMS discuss that here
and point to the download at Microsoft to make those files work.

Comparisons between Access 2003
and Access 2007 |
||
| Oliver Stohr,
a fellow Access MVP has setup a website devoted to comparisons between
Access 2003 and Access 2007. Its worth a look if you are considering
upgrading. My humble summary of upgrading is "If your users like the new
interface for Word, Outlook and Excel, then the new Access will not be a
problem to them". I personally like the new Outlook interface and Word
and Excel are fine but I don't use them all that much (I just program
them). |
