Here
are some useful samples of code aimed primarily to Access97. Today these
problems are covered by standard functions inside Access in newer
releases.
Documentation
of Access-tables.
The package for documenting the object in JET, i.e. tables and queries, is
too detailed and does not cover some of the propeties of most interests.
Here is a simple Add-in, which in a comprehensive way details the most
relevant properties: Fieldname, Description, Caption, Length and Data type.
TabControl
to Access 95
One of the more popular tab control these days, the one supplied with
Access 97 is much better.
Calendar
for date fields.
Here is a sample to facilitate data entry for date fields. It is a little
form called Cal which you Activate with a double click. It contains week
number which seems impossible for Yankees to understand is sometimes
useful.
File
dialog for pointing to a file
This sample shows how to use comdlg32.ocx to give the user a nicer way of
specifying a path and file name. Be aware of DLL-hell problems with this
OCX. Today
we prefer to use the solution presented on the Access
Web.
