This is a basic example of how to store the path to  a file and also be able to view the file. You can browse using the standards windows common dialog to select the file. You can view the file using the application defined with the Windows File Associations. It uses the ShelExec API to open the file. It does not use the .Followhyperlink  method.

This example is a continuous form that could easily be used as a sub form to attach multiple documents to a record.

This is an update to the basic example of how to store the path to a file and also be able to view the file. You can browse using the standards windows common dialog to select the file. You can view the file using the application defined with the Windows File Associations. It uses the ShelExec API to open the file. It does not use the .Followhyperlink  method.

***** Because it doesn't use the hyperlink data type, this new version stores the path in a way that allows the folder to be easily moved. 

Spreadsheet-like Entry Data Form Demo
Spreadsheet-like Entry Data Form Demo
**** Disclaimer ***

If you are new to database modeling or looking for a way to make Access act like Excel, this demo may not be for you. This demo represents a special case of data entry and is in no way a substitution for proper normalization, single form presentation among other things and in all probability will have limited use, if any, for several business models out there.

This database demonstrate how to create a entry form that provides a spreadsheet-like view and live form that can be updated real-time using a bound datasheet form. While this form uses checkboxes, there is no reason why it can't use textboxes or comboboxes, as long as this is a matrix of where each combination of a given row and a given column can only have exactly one value. In other words, no aggregating are actually done. This is useful for users who want to have a 'bird's eye view' and editing multiple records in a junction table representing a many-many relationship in a single form.

The demo is a class attendance record where it is assumed that new classes are created, and attendees registered for a given class are done in a separate forms (not included). The default form will display a selected class with attendees within the registration roster and dates specified for class meetings. All checkboxes are updateable, and new columns can be added for additional sessions. Attendee names are locked and the form will not allow additions, as per the assumptions.
Universal Search on many text with details
Universal Search on many text with details

This is a revision of the Universal Search demo that shows how to search for a list of string values in ALL non-system tables in ALL fields for the current database.

To search for more than one string, enter the values in the text box in comma-delimited format.

These matching records are displayed in a list box. Double click an item in the list box brings up the detail view of the first 11 fields of that table.
