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 example shows how to use tables to store the all the parts of a document.  An  exmaple web be for  creating contracts.

This example also shows how to use cascading sub forms. This is where two sub forms on hte parent for are linked. The first sub form shows records related to the Parent form's current record.. The second sub fom (on the parent form) shows related records to the current record in the other sub form.

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.

Centering a form in the Access window
Centering a form in the Access window

Author:  Peter Schroeder

This  example (A2K format) contains a module that can be used to reliably center (both horizontally and vertically) a form in the Access Window. There is a very simple demo of how it works, as well. The module itself uses Windows API calls to determine the Access application client area and the dimensions of the form in question, and calculates what the TOP and LEFT settings of the form should be to be centered in the Access window.

 

To use, simply insert the entire modCenterForm into your own database. It is called as follows:


Code:


 

Call gfncCenterForm([form])

Orders.mdb and Solutions.mdb
Orders.mdb and Solutions.mdb

The Orders and Developer Solutions sample databases that are included with earlier versions of Microsoft Access were not included with Access 2000.

The Orders and Developer Solutions sample databases for Access 2000 are now available

Orders   The Orders sample application is a sample order entry and invoicing system. Its features include the ShowEvents form, which helps you see the order in which events occur when you are working with forms and controls, and custom data filtering capabilities that you can use in addition to the filtering functionality provided by Access. The initial chapters of Microsoft Access 2000: Building Applications with Forms and Reports explain how to build the features shown in the sample application.

Developer Solutions   The Developer Solutions sample application contains examples of the forms, reports, and interface elements you most commonly use to create applications. From changing a form’s toolbars in response to events to creating a crosstab report with dynamic column headings, the objects in Developer Solutions illustrate the main areas of application design. This sample application also includes procedures that you might find useful as you develop your own applications—for example, you will find procedures that link tables at startup, close all objects when the user exits the application, and capitalize the first letter of every word in a field.
