Subject: Query Help
I have two tables, one with user data and another with software data
related to user data with the field user_num. I am trying to manufacture
a query which will return which users do not have a specified software
package. My current query attempts with criteria set to "NOT" only
return the "records" not containing that name such as "WordPerfect".
This of course does not tell me which users do not have WordPerfect,
only which records do not. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: Newbie query about QUERY
Hi. Can anyone give me a few tips? I use ACCESS infrequently, but I
have to use it now to make a list of names and occupations (with a few
other fields for additional descriptors).
I've made a table, and can sort it okay, but I can't seem to coax
ACCESS to filter/sort certain data.
Here's what I need:
My records are typically of the form:
Firstname Lastname Address Specialty
where Specialty is something like "tax accountant", "financial analyst"
or "accountancy teacher". I have made the field size fairly big, so
that I can include several Specialities, separated by commas or spaces.
The problem I'm having is that I can use FIND to locate records within
the table, but I can't FILTER the table. For example, if I'm looking
for all people whose Specialty is something to do with accounting, I
will want to include records with ANY PART OF FIELD listing "account".
The FIND part is easy.
But when I attempt to use "account" as my criterion in a FILTER or
SORT, it gives me no data at all - a blank form. I'm sure there's a
way to do this, but it isn't at all obvious, and the ACCESS User's
Guide is open in front of me. Chapter 15 seems easy, but doesn't seem
to work for me.
Any ideas?
Thx.

Hi folks,

to set a property of a control on a form to disable a pushbutton.
Idealy:
SetValue: Forms![FormName]![ControlName].Enable = No
The above syntax is incorrect, but for the life of me I can't figure

Subject: Re: Newbie query about QUERY
I think he is using Like to do his queries, but doesn't understand why
sort, etc don't behave. The main reason is he has a table embedded
in a column (i.e. his job column can have more than one job in a row
per his convention). Guess what, SQL don't work that way. This is
only a convention in the table (the separting multiple jobs by spaces or
commas). SQL doesn't understand this (OK, you can do some funny stuff with
Like, but thats it since its just a simple string scanner).
The table needs to be normalized. Somehow, you need to make sure each
row (or virtual row if you go to more than one table) has one person, one
job. Access (nor most RDBMSs) is not going to understand your convention
for putting multiple jobs in one row.
For more on normalization and RDBMS in general, see Chris Date's books (my
choice) or others.

Wait a minute--I don't think you quite got what he's doing.
He's got fields
Lastname Firstname .... Specialty
and in the field Specialty, he may have something like
"Laser Scientist, Tax Accountant"
He SHOULD be able to query that table with one of his query fields being
Specialty and the criteria being 'Like "*account*"'. The resulting
dynaset <should> contain only records in which the Specialty field has
some form of the word 'account' in it. I haven't tried this, but it
seems like a logical thing to do. BTW, see pp. 279-280 in the Access
Basic reference for the use of wildcards with Like.
Now if <that> works, the trick would be writing a form that would ask for
the specific word (i.e., 'account') that he wants to search for.
The InStr() function might be more handy here than the Like operation, too.
I can see where what he wants to do might be rather handy if I were using
a Memo field to simply keep track of (say) different offices in an organization
that a person has held over time. You can do that with the Find button when
you're in Form View.
The use of '*' as a wildcard <before> alphanumeric data in a string kind
of threw me, but if the documentation can be trusted, it will evaluate
to a zero-character string in the case of a word such as "Accountant" when
the criterion is 'Like "*account*"'.
HTH, I'm woozy from a <tres> boring day...

Subject: Re: Newbie query about QUERY
Nathan,
I think I got was he's doing. He's doing exactly as you described since
if you use wild cards in a query form, access turns it into a like.
What he wants is to have more operators understand his subgroupings,
i.e. why can't sort (ORDER BY sql-wise) understand his comma delimitted
subgrouping. Well, it can't (unless I'm missing something). By can't,
you can't order by the pattern LIKE matched, only the value of a row.
So LIKE *ACCOUNTANT* OR LIKE *PLUMBER* is going to return APLUMBER before
ZACCOUTANT, if that is the column value in the row and you ORDER by the
the column.

Good point--one I missed.
I think what <I> got wrong was that he apparently wants to sort the column
of <jobs> rather than to just find person(s) X who have the same job
specialty. If so, you are absolutely correct, he isn't going to do that
with a Like operation.
But these tiny differences in direction and emphasis are what make us
tear our hair out...:)

In a relational model table each field must contain only one value or
datum and each field must relate to the one key of the table. For each
person that has multiple specialities, enter a separate record for each
speciality, e.g. Rutkowski,Tax Analyst
Rutkowski,Data Base Administrator
To truely "Normalize" this you would probably want to have a
spearate table with person_num,lname,fname,address and a second table
with person_num,speciality. It is acceptable to "deNormalize" the
tables, i.e., using the single table to contain both names, addresses,
and specialities for performance and simplification where needed. You
should be aware of the differences, though :-)

by sending the command UNSUB ACCESS-L to LISTSERV@INDYCMS.BITNET, <NOT>
to the list.
2. If you are <not> subscribed directly to ACCESS-L@INDYCMS, you will
have to contact the administrator of the redistribution list through
which you receive ACCESS-L mail.
3. If you don't know whether or not you are subscribed directly, send
the command QUERY ACCESS-L to LISTSERV@INDYCMS.BITNET, <NOT> to the list.
If you are subscribed directly, you will receive a reply listing your
user options. If you are not subscribed directly, you will be so informed.
I don't like to get on my soapbox about these things, but if you want to
be a member of the electronic community, PLEASE learn the basics of
getting around in it. As I have said countless times, you can request
the LISTSERV GENINTRO file from LISTSERV@INDYCMS by sending the command
INFO GENINTRO to the listserver. A list of other files available will
be sent to you if you send the command INFO ? to the listserver.

Subject: Re: Query Help
Michael:
If I read your description correctly, your tables might look like this:
Table 1
User UserID
Jeff 1
Sue 2
Connor 3
Table 2
UserID Product
1 MS Word
1 Lotus 123
1 Borland C++
2 Wordperfect
2 MS Visual Basic
2 Aldus Pagemaker
3 Wordperfect
You can therefore find that Sue and Connor use Wordperfect, but have no way
of deriving a list of user names (Jeff others, who don't). You may be able to
write some exclusionary logic in Access basic comparing dynasets of all products
and all users, but that's out of my realm at the moment.
Here's an alternative to solve your problem. Use 3 tables. The first would
be the user info (name, ID, etc). The second would be a product table with
the fields being product name and product ID (number or abbreviation). The
3rd table would then have the userID, the product ID and a Yes/No field for
whether the person uses the product. A query of the 3 table with the criteria
of No for the yes/no field and Wordperfect for the product, you'll get the
results you are looking for.

Subject: A question about IMPORT
Hi,
I am a casual Access user. I need to import data from a large ascii file to my
Acess table, the only problem I encountered came from one particular field
(defined as MEMO in my database) where its data are made up of dozens of short
lines delimited by CRLF with *EMBEDDED BLANKS* allowed.
Roughly: it should look like this (assuming that we have five fields to be
imported)
f1 f2 f3 f4 f5
aaaa 111 bbb dddd txtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxt
txtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxt
txtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxt
txtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxt
txtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxtxt
Basically, for each target record, we will have a fixed number of multiple
input lines, and the format of the groups of lines for each record share the
same structure (format for 1st lines is the same throughout, other lines in a
record is actually containing data for the MEMO field.
Please advise of a way to import such input file. If I need to write a small
program to do this, can you give or point me to a sample ? It'd be fine if I
will have to split the source file and import data for the MEMO field
separately. I guess my biggest problem is with the multiple-line input records.
Thank you very much for your help !

Thanks Jeff for the suggestions. The third table idea was a good one. I
was shopping around the manuals and found another 'relational' solution.
That solution is to perform a 'YES' or 'HAS' querry for the item in
question. Then using the results of this query perform another query against
the "Personnel" table and use an 'Outer Join' to return persons who do not
have the software in question.
Thanks a lot for the assistance.

Subject: Filter / Pictures questions
I have a couple of questions of which I hope some of you will know the answers.
1) How do I get wildcards into filters ?
I want something like this
[Field] like form![formname]![word]
where I get the 'word' from an input dialog box. I would like to search
the field for contents of a particular word. How do I get the *-wildcards
into it ? [*word*] doesn't work.
2) What are the keyboard commands to get into a pull-down choice in a form ?
I have a pull-down combo-box, with all the previous entries, sorted and
with the unique values only. When entering records into forms, I like to
use the keyboard only, but I don't know how to get the choices pulled down.
3) Has anybody used pictures in forms ? I have a picture assigned to every
record.
I use 256-color bmp files, but Access only displays 16 colors or so.
How exactely does Acces do this ? Does he decrease the colors before he loads
the files into the tabel ? Or does he keep the 256-color file and only shows
16 colors ? It would make half the amount of disk-space if I would load
directly
16 color pictures, but if future versions of Access will support 256-colors,
I
will have to reload everything again.
Will future versions support copmressed images ? Like jpeg ?
Thanks in advance

To answer your first question. I have a database that performs a wildcard
search using filters. I set up an unbound field to accept the input, then
I designed a button to invoke the search via a macro. The command in the
macro was a applyfilter command with a clause of 'where' [field to compare]
is like forms![formnem].[wildcard field].
The answer to your second question is 'ALT' 'CsrDown'. This will display
or drop the items in a listbox.

Subject: processing speed of queries
Does anyone know whether or not a processing penalty exists for:
building a SQL string vs. modifying a parameter query
when using Access Basic....Parameter queries seem to precompile
after they have been executed once. But when I run a piece of
Access Basic (run-time compiled) code, I believe that building
SQL strings is just as fast as replacing parameter SQL. Anybody
have any thoughts ????

I think that all you have to do is use the name of your defined variable
(e.g. C). For example: If C = TRUE then...
At least this method works for text variables. I hope it works for you.

More generally, has anyone done much work integrating DLL's

I keep on getting the Listrows values back; instead of the row number.
Any clues would be welcomed, I just can't find it in the Microsoft

Search Access Help for "autoexec" and go to the topic titled

Briefly: You write a macro that uses the OpenForm action and
name the macro AutoExec.

Use the AUTOEXEC macro. When a database is opened (see exception below),
AUTOEXEC
is executed (if it exists). (btw, I'm only capitalizing it to delimit it as
text -- the case is trivial)
The exception is when you use the open database dialog box and select an
application
to open and use SHIFT-ENTER (instead of clicking the OK button or just
ENTER). SHIFT-ENTER
will bypass execution of the AUTOEXEC macro. A good example for testing
this is the PIM
application shipped with Access 1.x.
As an FYI, if you are developing a full-blown application for distribution,
you should be wary
about overdependence upon macros. One of the "nasties" overlooked when
thinking "I'm
cleaning my oven while I sleep" (oops, that was a commercial) when thinking
you can develop
full applications sans programming (i.e. using macros) is you cannot trap
errors in a macro, meaning
ABC (Access Basic Code) is required in order to perform the proper
diagnostics and hand-holding
for your client(s).
I could add a little more about this part, but I'm not sure how the NDA
(non-disclosure agreement)
stands for Access 1.1 and the ADK...but I do know of a very, very good book
covering these
types of things from a developer's point of view :{)

Just create a Macro called AutoExec. Add an OpenForm FORM1 action.
An example is in the orderentry database supplied with Access. You can
hold down the SHIFT key to override the AutoExec actions.
Hope this helps

Sorry about the previous message
I meant to say: Create a macro called Autoexec, and add the OpenForm
function. The next time you open the database, the Autoexec macro will run
automatically. Hold down the shift key when you open the database to prevent
this macro from running. Good Luck

I had thought that Microsoft was going to make an exception with Access
1.1 and make it extremely cheap. I have now gone back and reread the
"Open letter to Microsoft Access Customers" in 3/1/93 Infoworld. They
did not say that, but, they did say the following:
"Thank you for your support, we'd like to offer you this new version of
Microsoft Access, which will be available from your reseller and
Microsoft. We ask only that you cover the minimal costs of materials
and freight. All registered users of Microsoft Access will receive a
Welcome Kit this spring that contains notification for this new release.
The Welcome Kit will also include valuable information exculsively for
registered users. ..."
Has anyone received said Welcome Kit, I haven't. How much did the
upgrade cost? Diskettes are about $1.00 each on the open retail market.
I can't believe that there is $49 worth of paper in the new
documentation.

The upgrade is $14.95 from MS, resellers may have it for less.
The Welcome Kit, according to the MS reps on Compu$erve, is supposed to
ship within the next two weeks.
I can't believe that the manuals are $49 either. Can anyone from MS who's
subscribed to this list please amplify what the difference are, or is there
a manual supplement shipped with the upgrade kit so that those of us out here
who don't have Bill's kind of money can keep up?
PS, I was NOT pleased that the DOS 6.0 upgrade did not have a full manual
with it. The online manual is useless to me. I don't work well with
hypertext, manifestly preferring printed documentation.
Also PS, would someone please send me an Internet address for Dawn Trudeau
at Microsoft.Com? I have a user group bone to pick. I'll do it USnail if
I have to, but this is a much better medium. :) (Or conversely, MS people,
please have her get in touch with me.)

The upgrade (disks and a supplemental Help file covering features
new in 1.1) costs $14.95. Add that Help file to the documentation
you got with 1.0, and you probably have all you need.
If you want the full 1.1 documentation set (Help, Cue Cards,
User's Guide, Language Reference, Intro to Programming,
Getting Started), the same as what's included in the 1.1 retail
package, that costs $49.95.

I guess my $20 figure for the upgrade was confusing. That including
tax and shipping.
The cost for the doc is $49.50, plus $6.00 Freight, plus tax.
I do wish Microsoft had decided to optionally released all this on CDROM
and I could have reprinted what I wanted vs. purchasing the entire doc
set. An "at cost" CDROM of the upgrade and the doc couldn't have cost
$10 (including the mastering costs) assuming 10% of the purchasers of
Access v1 went for it.

I am placing a database on a Novell file server for people to access.
I think I understand how to set up Access security to restrict access

It appears that I need to give everyone read/write rights to the database
file. Is this true?
Also, does anyone know how Access encrypts a database? Since Access doesn't
carry any export restrictions, it must not be a secure method. Does it use
a simple cipher?

Subject: Menus / Access 1.1
Hi to all,
MENUS
******
Is there any way to get a menu WITHOUT having to show a form?
Now I have a "background"-form that's just there to make a menu possible
but I don't regard this as very elegant.
OUT OF MEMORY
**************
I wonder if I'm the only one who still gets frequent "Not enough memory" or
"No more tables can be opened" messages when opening reports?? I have some
20 attached dBase-Tables and some 40 - 50 queries based on them. The
reports all have some small sub-reports.
The .MDB is some 700 kB and all those DBFs are not larger than some kB.
A lady on the MS-Hotline in Munich supposed it could be that so many (???)
attached tables are responsible for the problem.
DYNAMIC REPORTS ?
******************
Is there any way to base a report on a Dynaset or Snapshot created in
Access Basic or do I have to use a "physically" available query or table
that's in the database-container? What I want to do is to change conditions
in a query dynamically via dialogs (forms) but it seems to me that there is
no way to get a query definition changed AND then use this changed
query-definition in a report.
i.e.: I would like to change the sorting or the filter or the grouping but
still use the same report.
SECURITY
*********
In version 1.0 and also in version 1.1 I had VERY OFTEN the problem that
Access told me I would not have enough rights to open a query or table even
when I HAD enough rights. Only saving the query under another name and then
again under the first name solved this problem.
INVISIBLE DATABASE-CONTAINER and AutoExec
******************************************
Is there any trick that PIM uses when I open the database? I do not seem to
be able to avoid its AutoExec-macro to run when I press SHIFT.
Thanks for any hint in advance
Martin

Subject: Variables in Access Basic
I have been having a problem with using variables in Access Basic functions
for my databases. I am trying to write a dlookup in the function, using
one of the arguments to the function as part of the dlookup. Essentially,
this is what I want:
x=DLOOKUP("[XP Table]","XP Tables","[Class]=clss")
where clss is the string argument of the function this contains.
I have since managed to kludge around this a bit, but I was wondering if
anyone would tell me what I am doing wrong.

With regards to Out of Memory (and I just joined this list, by the way),
Microsoft tells me this is most often a Windows resources problem, which
Windows always incorrectly reports as low memory. Access 1.0 does a horrible
job of using resources, apparently, and you may notice that it often does
not return resources to Windows when it is closed. I hear Access 1.1 fixes
this, so I'll have to hurry up and install it (I have it now) to see...

What do you mean "get a menu"? Do you mean how do you
customize the options on the menu bar? If so, don't use a form.
Look at the <autokeys> macro in the <ORDENTRY> database or
search on <menu bar> in the online help.

This sounds very strange. It sounds as though you are trying to use a
hammer instead of a screwdriver. If you could describe what you are
doing in a little more detail, a simple ("Make things simple, not simpler."

I'm not sure how this is an "invisble database-container", but...
To override the <autoexec> macro (fill in the .MDB name for PIM in
this example to make it generic):
Select _F_ile, _O_pen from the main Access menu and the
"Open Dialog" dialog will appear.
Select the database (PIM, in this case) with a single left-button
mouse click (why Microsoft sells two-button mice when their
applications are blind to the second button, I've not yet
determined -- but they are nice mice).
Instead of selecting the <OK> button, use SHIFT-ENTER.
I've seen numerous other explanations in some form of shorthand
on this discussion list, but they're all somewhat cryptic or leave
something out.
P.S.
The PIM is a very nice application for Microsoft to have supplied.
It's real-world and demonstrates a lot of useful principles (although
I have souped up the address book a lot).

Subject: Setting RowSource properties?
Can you dynamically set the RowSource Properties of a combo box?
For example:
Combo Box A has values 1-6
Combo Box B has RowSource set to a query.
If user picks combo box A value 1, then combo box B has a RowSource = Query1
"" "" "" "" "" 2, "" "" "" "" Query2
I have tried using refresh query from a macro, although you never really
OnExit combo box A. Any ideas? Am I going about this the hard way?
I do not believe that BASIC will allow
CB.RowSource = Query1
My only other option would be to put Combo Box A on a previous form and then
set the properties ????
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Greg

I am still using Access 1.0
I have followed the improved instructions as provided on a MIcrosoft
Access seminar to generate a secure work group and a secure database.
I created the database as a non admin user.
I as a non admin user have created a table say DEMO1 and then
removed all privileges to the groups USERS, GUESTS and ADMINS.
I then appeared to have a secure database ie no other user can access
that table.
I then go back in as the extra admin userid (I called it DBA)
and sure I could not access the table. I could however obtain
authority over that table by assigning those privileges to myself.
Thereby obtaining full authority to that table.
Similarly I can access that database using a non secured work group
.MBA file and assign all the authorities to myself (now ADMIN). Thus
any user could obtain these privileges, I am sure this can't be right.
What have I done wrong... this is urgent and very important!

This is the proper text (I hope) of my previous message:
Your message touches on a recurring problem: the inability to change

way around this problem in Access Basic is illustrated in the following
pseudo code (This is just a very general outline of the process):
DoCmd Echo False
DoCmd SetWarnings False
DoCmd OpenForm in Design mode (see manual entry on OpenForm Action)
Set property settings e.g. ComboBox.RowSource=[MyQuery]
DoCmd OpenForm in Form or Datasheet View
Reinitialize all AccessBasic Variables referring to forms or controls
(e.g set Control(1) = Forms![Any Form])![The First Control]
Requery form and all appropriate controls to refresh the data
DoCmd Echo True
DoCmd SetWarnings True
I was told by one person at Microsoft that the next version may allow us to
change property settings without this above approach.

From: CALLAHAN <CALLAHAN%DIALOGVM@MCIMAIL.COM>
Subject: Table name as a variable?
I'd like to use the value of a field as the name of a table. For example,
on page 19 of the Access User's Guide, I would want to use the Category
ID field in the bottom Products table to open another table named BEVR or
COND instead of having a single table named Categories. I guess I want
to be able to open a table whose name is a variable with data that comes
from a field.
One reason to do this is to allow different types of info for each
condiment category, e.g. 3 data fields for BEVR but 7 data fields for
COND).
Another reason to do this is to have the same key for different
categories (like a Product ID of 70 for both BEVR and COND tables so
I'd open the BEVR table and Product ID 70 would have different info than
in the COND table, i.e. Product ID and Category ID together become a new
key).
I hope I can do this with Access Basic, but I'm not entirely clear on
how. If it can be done, can it be done only for reports and forms? Can
it be done for dynamic queries? And is there an easier way to do this?
Or a harder way, maybe using SQL?
Thanks.

P.S. While this Condiment example is a bit contrived, it illustrates my

application.

I am using a beta version of Info Designer (it is not a production product
yet). It is more appropriately called an "Information Modeling" tool. I
cannot discuss specifics, as I am under a non-disclosure agreement with
them. However, I can say that it is most complete. The method of using
Object Role Modeling to develop your information model is great. They
have made it so that you don't even have to learn any kind of language or
anything. It's all graphical. It also does a good job of transforming what
you have modeled into Access. I expect it won't be long before it is in
a production release. The verison I have is great, though. It's very
expensive, though.
Finally, I am fairly good at database design myself, and wouldn't use a
tool like Info Designer for simple database structures. I would define
anything simple as having 10 or less related tables with about 10 fields
per table, but that definition may change for each person. Definitely, if
you are designing a database with a large number of tables and such, this
kind of tool could be invaluable, and might just make or break your
success. The hardest part is to get into the mode of thinking about
information and facts, not tables and fields. InfoDesigner and other
similar tools does most of the thinking for you, but you do have to
understand relational database theory somewhat in order to be effective
with a tool like this.

Check the readme files created in your ACCESS directory by the install process.
As I recall, one of those files has lots of tips and answers to frequently
asked questions.
As usual, most people, me too, don't read those READ.ME files until after
we had spent a considerable of time in vain.
We just go straight to the application. ;-))

There is a Read.me type file that comes as part of the Access package. I
think you'll find your answer there.

Subject: Digest now daily
The ACCESS-L digest is now being sent on a <daily> basis rather than
weekly. I had a request for this change that sounded reasonable to
me (who wants to wait a week to see what's going on?) and implemented
it just a few moments ago.
Again, on the bounces from MCIMAIL.COM, I <think> I have kludged a
solution that will work for the time being. Please understand that
what POSTMASTER@MCIMAIL.COM is doing is not standard procedure. Bounces
from a LISTSERV list are <supposed> to be directed to the userid
specified in the Errors-To= keyword in the list header. I am going
to send a strongly worded complaint to this postmaster and ask him
to get his act in compliance with standard procedure.
Sorry for the inconvenience...waking up to 20-odd error messages is no
fun for me either. :)

I'm not receiving any of them. The best thing to do (for all parties), is to
send
messages such as yours to the owner of the list, not the list itself. If it
appears
there is a problem, the owner should set the problem recipient's subscription
status to "NOMAIL" and send them a message stating such and attempt to
debug the problem. It's best for the owner to wait a couple of days as
occasionally gateways are taken down for maintenance & upgrades, particularly
during the summer when academic facilities are on a more relaxed schedule.

Does anyone out there knows how to display a list box containing all assets curr
ently not under repair given this scenario ???
1 Asset record can have 0 to N repair records.
Tables: Asset Repair
Fields: ID ---------------------- ID
Description Date of Repair
Date of Return
Display all assets that are not currently under repair ie. Date of Return cannot
be NULL.
eg. Asset.ID Asset.Description
1 HP Printer
2 Color Monitor
3 Barcode Reader
Repair.ID Repair.[Date of Repair] Repair.[Date of Return]
2 1-Jan-93 3-Jan-93
2 4-Feb-93 6-Feb-93
3 24-Jun-93
The List box should display
Asset.ID Asset.Description
1 HP Printer
2 Color Monitor
I have tried using List-Box.row source =
select Asset.ID,Asset.Description from Asset where
NOT EXISTS
( select * from Repair where Repair.ID=Asset.ID and
Repair.[Date of Return] IS NULL ) ;
However, Microsoft Access does not accept NOT EXISTS. :-(
Does anyone know how to do it ???

If you do an outer join in your select query (this will get all records,
including those with no attached asset records) and then check date of repair
for not null. This should select:
a. All assets with no repair record (therefore, not under repair)
b. All assets with repair record(s) but with a repair date
Thought: This may not give an accurate picture for assets with multiple
repairs.
Perhaps the most reliable way is to write an access basic function that
takes an asset number and returns "True" if it finds any related record
that has a null return date, otherwise, returns "False". You could then
use this function (e.g. IsUnderRepair([asset number])) as the criterion
in your list box selet query. I have found that some of these types of
functions are very easy to write and really simplify some tasks in
Access.
I hope this is of some use. Sorry about the 'off the track' rambling
at the start.
Cheers.
Graeme.

Subject: Problem checking OLE overwrite
Hiya,
I'm fine-tuning the application I made with Access and the following
problem occurred:
I'm using a picture (OLE-object) of a persons' autograph in the database.
The picture is supposed to be scanned and Pasted into the form.
I created a custom menu bar with the Paste function added.
This works fine.
Only thing is: I'd like to protect the picture from being overwritten by
mistake. So I tried using the ISNULL function in the same macro that
activates the Paste function in the custom menu bar. This works but not
good: the check is made properly but then the Paste function cannot be
activated anymore. Also the field property of an OLE-object doesn't have
features like ON-ENTER and ON-UPDATE, so how can I do this?
Martin.

Subject: Access Knowledge Base now available
I have made the Access Knowledge Base available via LISTSERV@INDYCMS. It
is in the form of a Windows Help file, runs about 680KB (532KB in the
archive form) and is VERY complete. It is dated February 28 and is
apparently the latest version as I downloaded it from Compuserve last
night. (It is also a later version than the version available from CICA.)
ACC-KB.EXE takes the place of all the little text files that were
previously available (since all those little text files are included in
the Knowledge Base). I hope to keep the latest version of this file
online at all times so that anyone who wants to use AFD or FUI (please
see the LISTSERV documentation on those functions!!!) can do so.
ACC-KB.EXE is a self-dissolving archive file which can be placed in
your C:\ACCESS directory and run from File Manager or the DOS prompt.
It will expand in to ACC-KB.HLP and README.TXT, after which you can
delete the .EXE file.
To get the file ACC-KB.EXE sent to you, please send the following command
to LISTSERV@INDYCMS, >NOT< to the list:
GET ACC-KB EXE
CMS users can send the interactive command TELL LISTSERV@INDYCMS GET ACC-KB
EXE .
VAX/VMS users can send the interactive command SEND LISTSERV@INDYCMS GET
ACC-KB EXE .
To get an index of the files available for ACCESS-L, send the command
IND ACCESS-L to LISTSERV@INDYCMS.

I think I know what the problem is--I was not aware of the 400kb daily
quota and I suspect it may be truncating the file. Don't know this for
sure but I will do some checking and try to have it available one way
or another by Monday. It is a <really> nice thing to have and I hope
this problem doesn't deep-six my offering it to the list.
In the meantime ACC-KB.EXE will be removed from the filelist.
In answer to the user who wanted a uucoded version, I will try to
accommodate you also.

Subject: ACC-KB availability
OK. (He wipes the sweat from his brow.) :)
ACC-KB.EXE is not and will not be available from the listserver in binary,
ready to run format because of its length and apparent problems with
downloading it from the listserver. HOWEVER:
ACC-KB.EXE is now available from the listserver in UUENCODED format. It is
in 4 pieces because of the length. To get it sent to you, send the command
GET ACC-KB PACKAGE
to LISTSERV@INDYCMS.BITNET. You <may> still run up against the 400kb daily
quota limit. If so, you can get two of the files at a time. The file names
are
ACC-KB1 UUE
ACC-KB2 UUE
ACC-KB3 UUE
ACC-KB4 UUE
There is also an instruction file called HOWTO HANDLE that I strongly urge
you to get and read. You don't just UUdecode those 4 files as is.
Also: I just finished uploading ACC-KB.EXE to CICA. You can FTP it out
of the /pub/pc/win3/uploads directory. (That's for those who are having
trouble getting it from the listserver or who just don't want to mess with
uucode.)
CICA's IP address is FTP.CICA.INDIANA.EDU. They just added an Access
directory not too long ago and it's pretty bereft of stuff....:)
I really believe this thing is worth the all the trouble. I was scanning
through it this afternoon and the little code snippets (and whole functions
in some cases) are really impressive. MS did a nice job on this. *applause*

Subject: Re: ACC-KB availability
Nathan,
I sent
GET ACC-KB PACKAGE
to
LISTSERV@INDYCMS.BITNET
and got all of the pieces back in about 45 minutes. I did a short cut
and simply appended the UUD files together and used UUDOALL.EXE to create
ACC-KB.EXE. ACC-KB.EXE extracted great. I and I am sure others appreciate
you effort here.
A couple questions/suggestions/strawmans:
1. I got UUDOALL.EXE either from SIMTEL or comp.binaries.ibm.pc. If you
are going to be packaging stuff on the listserv, this thing is invaluable.
2. Yes, CICA is pretty empty of Access stuff. The problem I see is that
all of Access lives in a .MDB file that also unfortunately includes
the data as well as the non-data portions. I've got several cases
where I can share the non-data (the table defs, the modules, the
forms, etc) but not the data. Are there good ways to do this?
3. I'd like to suggest a "list" project of developing an access app
to allowing looking at the CICA index list via access. I'm willing
to grab the CICA index periodically, import it and then put it on
CICA (and possibly the listserv) if the adminstrators of CICA and
the listserv agree, if the separation of data vs. apps is resolved
(see #2) and if I really get a decent FTP line (two weeks, I hope).
Lastly,
I got the "welcome" package yesterday. Since I had already upgraded, not
much new (the disk enclosed looked interesting, but I haven't tried it yet).
The one thing that did stick out, and I hope someone from MicroSoft will
correct me here if I misread - you don't have to buy 4000 copies of the
upgrade to upgrade 4000 copies of access, just one. In fact, the only
restriction on using the upgrade is that it be used on a licensed version
of 1.0. It can be used as many times as necessary.
To most of this list this may not seem significant, but today I meet a someone
who's company really does have 4000 licensed copies of access. And their
upgrade cost is $20 (includes S/H) for all 4000 if what I read is correct.
Enjoy, and many thanks to Nathan for this list.

The MSACCESS forum on Compu$erve has a number of nice utilities,
most of the good ones have come as examples from MS. At this

I dunno. I read it as "...you may apply this to any system which is legally
licensed to run Access 1.0...". Now I did notice how MS smurfed up in
one regard: as one of the few software vendors (that) still brands the
install disk & the installed software, this means if you don't make a copy
of the unbranded install disk, everyone upgrading (albeit legally) will have the
same name & company housewide. Since the upgrade is dependent upon 1.0
already existing on the machine, I see it as overkill...

You can't FTP from a LISTSERVer--at least not from LISTSERV@INDYCMS--that's
why I had to put it on CICA. :)
And not everyone is on Compu$erve--which is, in fact, where I got the file
in the first place. :))

I could imagine copying your table structure <only> to another, temporary
table, which could be imported into another .MDB file which could then
be shared with others. In fact, I had a thought on this which I will
expand upon below. Anyway, see the dialog box that pops up when you
copy objects (specifically tables)--it should have a check box for
structure and data or structure only.

Since (IMHO) the objects in an .MDB don't <have> to have any relationship
to each other (and man, you should see one .MDB I keep at work!), there's
no reason why we couldn't create something like a "Best of ACCESS-L"
.MDB file every now and then with object, macro, and code contributions
in easily "Access-able" (pardon the pun) form. This would be a sort of
"magazine" of ready-to-run tips and tricks, etc., for the list.

I got my "Welcome" package the other day, too, and I'm somewhat mollified
about the non-free upgrade (after the rumors that had been going around)
by the fact that as George states, you need only purchase one copy for
everyone.
George, I'm glad you're getting use out of ACC-KB and I hope others will
find it useful as well. Enjoy!

there. I do not have access to compuserve but I did try to use a
UK microsoft Help BBS service at Reading Winersh, but couldnt find
any ACCESS directory, and none of the stuff seemed to have been updated
since april 1992 anyway.
So I would be very grateful if someone would post it somewhere, eg
CICA (which was where I grabed the ACC-KB from in the end...thanks
Nathan).
Anne
Thankyou

Subject: VisBas 3.0 offer
Just out of curiosity....did anyone else get an offer from Microsoft for
a copy of Visual Basic for Windows 3.0 that was apparently sent out to
registered Access users? I got one last Friday and just got a chance to
look at it. The basic facts are $99 for VisBas 3.0 and $199 for VisBas 3.0
Professional Edition, and the offer runs till August 15.
Both versions include the Access database engine (v. 1.1) and OLE 2.0.
The additional features available in the Professional Edition are
* Full OBDC support, including scrollable cursor support
* Microsoft SQL Server, SYBASE SQL server, and Oracle OBDC drivers
* Programmatic data access layer (Database object, Table object, Querydef
object, Dynaset object, Snapshot object, Field object, Index object)
* _Crystal Reports for Visual Basic_, including 2-pass reporting, grouping,
mailing labels, and drag and drop--all with no run-time fee
* Professional controls: animated button, gauge, graph, keystate, 3-D
interface (6 controls), bitmap clipping, Messaging APO (2 MAPI controls),
pen computing (4 controls), multimedia, comm port, spin button, and masked
edit
* Professional data-aware controls: masked edit, 3-D panel, and 3-D check
box
* Outline control, for easy hierarchical list boxes
* Report control, to embed reports easily
* Online Windows 3.1 API reference
* Custom Control Development Kit for creating your own custom controls,
including data-aware controls (requires use of a C or C++ development
system such as the Microsoft Visual C++ development system)
Having avoided VB until now, I may have to succumb and give it a try,
especially with the price on the ADK up so high...

I wouldn't worry too much, Brian -- considering the material posted to a lot of
lists, you aren't really off the beaten path.
I know of several very large corporate commitments to Access. In my dealings
so far, I've run into a lot of people who are busy doing training in those
environments in addition to their writing of books or consulting & contracting.
I think those (persons & corporations) who have pooh-poohed Access because
it appears too simple or beneath them have failed to realize just what is
available in this package.
There are some (not as many as one might think in a v1.0) design flaws, but
pound-for-pound, I find it to be an elegant platform.
I'm somewhat teased here because of my tendency to use this product when
I need something quick (and still stands the chance of becoming permanent --
never underestimate the ability of a one-time project to become ongoing)
over FoxPro, Paradox, dBASE, etc. when I'm pretty adept at all of the packages.
But the one word I've used since I first saw Access in Beta (what seems) long
ago
is this: "enchanted". If this is where they are starting, where will it end?

I installed the "Database Analyzer" following the proceedure outlined in

I used the clipboard to copy the Analyzer macro to my own database MFG.
I created a new Analyzer.mda to recieve the output.
Using my own database MFG, I performed steps 1 thru 6 of the table analysis
procedure then got stopped with the message:

Whether or not I found the same "white paper" that you want, Anne, there
is now available from LISTSERV@INDYCMS a copy of a paper describing the
Access security model. It was posted on Compuserve in February. You can
get it by sending the command
GET SECURE TEXT
to LISTSERV@INDYCMS. This is a text file, folks, not binary--you should
have no trouble with it. :) (I hope...)
Also, while poking around, I found a security Wizard in the same library.
The catch is, Microsoft does not support it. I will probably take a look
at it and upload it to CICA in the next day or two for the adventurous
among us.
Enjoy!

My recommendations are go for the Pro Edition based on internal usage of
VB. I'd love to get VB 3.0 pro for $199 as a REGISTERED ACCESS USER (caps

George,
If you are a registered user THERE is an even better upgrade price. I can't reme
mber
the break-out but there is an upgrade from 2.0 Standard to 3.0 Standard. 2.0 Sta
ndard to
3.0 Professional, 2.0 Professional ... (you get the idea). The largest dollar fi
gure I
remember in that mailer was $139.00 (plus obligatory, tax, shipping and handling
).
If MS did not contact you with a mailer then you should call them at 800-426-940
0
and ask for the upgrade.
Hope that he'ps

Chor,
I ran into the same problem. If I understand the problem your just trying to
create a running line number counter. I solved this problem by creating a field
in the underlying query that is set to the value of 1, e.g. =1. Then place this
field on your report. Change the Running Sum property to the value that is
appropriate for your needs (over group or over all).

I would point out that we (myself and the folks I work with) have looked
at using VB3.0 as a front-end for Access, and have found that, by itself,
it doesn't quite cut the mustard. The problem is that very few controls
in VB3.0 are data-aware. Conspicuously _not_ data-aware are the grid
and combo-box controls. Was planning on looking at 3rd-party controls to
see if this would make everything better, because aside from these small
but important problems, VB3.0 does many things better than Access. You can
do real, live data-entry formatting (not the post-formatting Access does),
drag-and-drop stuff, use timers, and all that neat stuff. I just can't
personally live without a data-aware grid and combo-box...

Subject: Is Null and Queries
I am trying to develop a parameter query that will allow users to enter a
"Before Date" and/or an "After Date" and the query will return all items
from a table with a date between those two dates. If one of the dates is
blank, the query returns nothing rather than everything after or before the
date that is present. If I use 'Is Null' in an 'IIf' statement in the query
grid the expression is longer than 255 characters and Access will not accept
it.
I tried putting the date field into the query twice (two separate columns)
but when you save and then open the query again, the two columns are merged
with an 'AND' connector and the expression is too long.
Next I tried writing a little macro that would execute when the parameter
text box loses the focus (On Exit). The macro used the IsNull function to
check the field and then used SetValue to enter an appropriate date
(1/1/1900 or 1/1/2001) and I ended up with the date of December 30, 1899 in
the parameter field--regardless of the date I put in the SetValue Action
Argument Expression.
I would like to avoid having to write a function to generate an appropriate
query, what am I missing?
Any ideas?
Thanks

SQL Support Section (SQS) Mail ALZ@UK.AC.RL.IB
===============================================================
Now that I have read the white paper I know what the problems are.
The note that I posted previously saying what the sequence of actions
is was correct. The problem comes when one wants to test the security
that one has set up. Testing can NOT be done using an unrestricted
copy of the work group that was used to generate the secure work group!
The part of the paper that gives us the clue is the part that says
"Gotcha: When you setup Microsoft Access, the User and Company names
are written to Disk #1. If you then give anyone.... The Admins group
in the system.mda that is created will have the same SID as the Admins
group in your system.mda. This means that anyone who uses that new
system.mda will have all the permissions that you do, in any databases
that you have permissioons....."
That basic problem is that when you spawn off work groups from the
same original system.mda then the ADMINS group will have the same
SID. This can be used to benefit if you want to have a global
DBA with rights in all workgroups. However it does mean that one
cannot afford to leave the original system.mda around in an unrestricted
state.
Basically the problem is that members of the ADMINS group have
the ability to acquire (grant to themselves ) permissions on
all tables that users create, so long as the table was created using
a work group with the same ADMINS SID.
There might still be a problem, I have not tested this yet.
You might not be able to clear out tables etc that have been created
by users who are unknown to you, wher ethat user started with
their own system.mda file and created a new secure work group and then
created a table in your database.
I hope that helps to make things clearer.
Anne

Another strong caveat for the use of security would be to test your
application on another machine which hasn't yet "seen" your application
before passing it out. I know of several persons who didn't heed this
as well as people affiliated with 'nother publisher (the names have been
changed to protect the guilty) who didn't test the disk in the back of the
book on an isolated machine and assumed (that) because it worked on
their machine, it worked on all machines (oops!) (yes, I did contact them
and let them know).
P.S. One other thing to mention about the security & white paper. There
was some squawking on Compu$erve [sic] about two months ago and MS
created a database followed by a challenge to break it. Unfortunately, it
wasn't a full-blown app (even a small, simple one) so a lot of people in the
MSACCESS forum felt it was not really a fair test.

Dear Tom:
I recently wrote a parameter query to accomplish something close to
what you are trying to do (I think). Try this:
Make one query field each for the fields "Start Date" and "Stop Date"
In the "Start date" criteria(first row) add >=[DateParameter1].
In the "Stop Date" criteria (first row also) add <=[DateParameter2]
In the "Start Date" criteria(second row) add >=[DateParameter1].
In the "Stop Date" criteria(second row also) add IsNull.
Note that [Date Parameter1] is the user entered start date parameter, and
[Date
Parameter2] is the user entered stop date parameter.
You may need to write some AccessBasic Code to capture the user entered
parameters from a form, and convert the Nulls (CRs) as shown:
If IsNull (DateParameter1) then DateParameter1 = #01/01/1901#
If IsNull (DateParameter2) then DateParameter2 = #01/01/2050#
I have not tested this specific approach, but maybe it will work for you.
Good luck-----Rich Moldwin
