Fried Graphics Card. What Do I Do?
Hi,
I'm in a a lot of trouble. My graphics card has stopped functioning, leaving me with a perfectly good computer that I cannot use.
In order to retrieve the information from the harddisk, I got a cable between this computer and another one.
This is my plan:
When the "blind" computer is started, I will enter the cmd. From there I would like to be able to "share" one of my folders on the small network (ie the two computers). Is there a DOS command for this?
second question:
If I have VNC server installed, will I be able to see the desktop from another computer allthough I can't see it on the blind computer? Does that information go through the graphics card before it is sent over the internet, or after it has arrived in the VNC viewer computer?
Fuga.

Graphics Problems
I recently had my copy of Windows XP Home crash on me. I have managed to recover and restore most of my Access XP databases but I'm now having a real problem with embedded and linked graphics. Previously Access would accept graphics in almost any format: .bmp .gif and .bmp. Now it only accepts bitmaps .bmp Most of the graphics I use are not in .bmp format. Anyone know how to get Access to accept other formats? Thanks

New Twist On Graphics
I have read, mostly understood, and abandoned most of the KB and WWF suggestions on using images in forms. I am _this_ close to having it my way, but I can't seem to get there. The paper form I am emulating has a medical diagram of the human body, and the interviewer circles, crosses, or otherwise marks a particular part (say head or foot) that the interviewee indicates is giving him/her pain. In order to do this on a form, I need to load a blank medical image into a field, and let the interviewer edit the image as they would on paper, by leaving cirlcles or X's. One of the Northwind examples uses embedded images in an OLE field, and when I double-click the image is brought up in 'Paint', and I can edit. Close to what I want. I can also copy the employee photo from one record to a new record, and still edit. Closer yet. But when I try to put in a new image, I'm back to the icon-with-file-name, or 'package', or varous other ways of not seeing a picture. Has anybody had success with this yet? Thanks Matt

Need Help With Combobox And Graphics On Form
I have a form that is bound to a table of chemicals. On the form I have a combobox that displays records from another table of chromatograms for each chemical. There may be none, one, or multiple chromatograms for each chemical. On the form I also have a graphic to display the chromatogram (.jpg file). I want to have the graphic of the chromatogram update upon the change of chemical on the form. At the present time, I have the graphic display from the after_update event of the combobox. This works fine. Is this the best way to proceed, or should I use a subform for what I'm trying to do. Any help wouuld be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Graphics In A Form (show/hide)
Hey AP.uk I've got Form with some drawings on it and I'd like it change depending on what the user has entered in certain fields on the same form. For Example: when the user selects a certain type of item in the "Item1" field, I'd like the graphic to change (or another one appear) in the form. Basically an "If this is true, show this picture" type thing. I've been trying a few things to make this happen, but to no avail... :( Any incite anyone could give would be most appreciated.

Using A * (Wild Card) In Pop Up Box?
Is it possible to use a * (Wild Card) in a pop up box for a query? I read the previous post about pop up boxes for quires and it worked worked great! I created one for my month field My criteria in my search fieled is a follows: 05-May 06-June 07-July 08-August etc... As you can see someone would have to type a 08-August to get the results for August, can a wild card be used? Example 08* would return all of 08-August data.

Wild Card In IIF Statement
I am using a criteria entry form as the source of parameters for a select query, and I am using IIF statements in the query so that if the user does not want to specify for that particular field, the search still works based on the other parameters specified. Therefore the statement I am using is; IIf([Forms]![Criteria Form]![Customer Account] Is Not Null,[Forms]![Criteria Form]![Customer Account],[Data]![Customer Account]). This works. However for some of the criteria I want to also use wild cards, so that the user can enter just part of the data, and the relevant records will be returned. I understand that wild cards cannot be embedded into the IIF statement above. I have tried many methods, and trawled the web for ideas, but I cannot get this to work. I either want the user to enter the wild card themselves ie "100*" returning records starting with "100", or for the query to append the wild card itself. Can someone help please?

Wild Card Searches
Ive read loads of posts about Wildcard searches but am unable to find the answer to my problem. In one of my boxes on my search form the user places in the search criteria value, this can be from A1 - A16 all the way to G16. At the moment i'm using this as my seasrch query: [Forms]![Search]![BoxNo] So if I put in C1 then I get all the C1's, great. If I want to wildcard then I put in Like "*" & [Forms]![Search]![BoxNo] &"*", and again it works, this time it call enything with C1 in it i.e C13. How can I adjust my query to do both, sometimes I only want the exact match othertimes I want to wildcard :confused:

Employee Time Card System
I need to develope a system that will allow for employees to login and imput their "time card". I found one post on here about something similar, but it didn't give much info. I am very very new to Access so please give info in simple terms or very well explained. I am hoping that I can have a login and password so employees can't access eachothers time card. All it will need to track is Date Type of work Hours Rate Comments I am hoping that this is going to be an easy task, but I need some help. Anyone have any ideas or directions... or even better know where I could just download a template. Thanks, Chrissy

Access Wild Card Search Help
Hi I have a query that depends on the input (several parameters) from a form. The form has a list object that shows the results of the query. For example, when I type in "s" in last name and "b" in city, it shows everybody whose last name starts with s and city name that starts with b. The problem is that it excludes all the records with blank cells in either last name or first name or city. In another words, the list is already pre-filtered with records that contain all three fields (city and first name and last name). For example, the record (Last name: Mosby, First name: Ted, City = blank) will be excluded from getting displayed because it contains no characters. Can someone help me out with this issue? I would like to include those people on the search even though their city is not entered in the table. With the query parameter empty, I would like to show a very raw list (a list that is not filtered at all). The Query is built as follow: The criteria for the field "Last Name" is Like [forms]![simform].[lastnamesearch] & "*" The criteria for the field "First name" is Like [forms]![simform].[firstnamesearch] & "*" The criteria for the field "City" is Like [forms]![simform].[city] & "*"

Wild Card On Search Form Issue
Hi all, I need a little help with a wild card issue, Ive looked and looked and cant spot whats wrong. I have two forms "Requisitioner" & "Engineers", each form has a subform. These are basic search forms (unbound) that find related records in the subforms. The work is done in the query of the subform and then the form is refreshed. I have used this approach many many times without issue until now. If the engineers form is opened "G*" is entered into the text box then all the entries beginning with "G" are found in the subform. If the "*" is then removed from the text box leaving "G" no results are found in the subform, (Working Correctly) Now if the "*" is added again "G*" then the subform shows all the entries beginning with "G" Everything is good with the Engineers Form, If the same steps are made on the Requisitioners form after adding the "*" again no records are displayed. I could change the way this works by doing a recordset find but i really want to know why this is working on one form but not on another. I would appreciate any help with this. Garry

Seeking Much Help With Generating A Card Number From Another Field
Hi guys, I need some help here and any would be muchly apprieciated. I am building a database for a theme park fast pass system where a customer can book themselves a place on a ride at three session times a day. Now my problem is, that I need to generate a card number. 5555 1946 as the first 8 digits (this always stays the same) and then the last 8 digits is the customer ID number, which is in the same table. So there are 16 digits in total. Let me give you an example: A new customer registers and are assigned a customer ID of 1000 0001. Therefore the Card Number for that customer must be 5555 1946 1000 0001. I have used auto number for customer ID so when a new customer signs up, there ID is 1 more that highest already in te database. Simple question really...but how is this done? A million marks for someone who breaks it! Hehe Thanks
