I have a question: can I search by file name instead of doc, txt or pdf extension file? Thank you

[@599CD]

Sure... you can search by whatever you save in the table.

how would you make a button the same way however documents are separated into folders within the project folder?

[@599CD]

You'll have to store the full path

So I just wrote my code AS explained in the video and then when I checked the button I get an error message. So let me get this straight, on my home screen, I have an access icon for my database and a seperate folder for the documents. Does that sound correct? Or do both of those need to be in a different folder? Just not sure where I'm getting an error

Hi Mr Richard, I am a lecturer and every semester I must prepare a set of test questions, assignments and final exams (with pictures). so I want to save my questions and make it a database in access. Is it possible and how to include these pictures in access?

Hello! I'm writing from Turkey. this is perfect. this is what i need. an alarm program. but the alarm should work when an action occurs on my computer's internet explorer page. can i do this? When I am not at my computer, when an action occurs on the internet explorer page that is always open on my computer screen, I need to be warned audibly.

[@599CD]

You could program the WebBrowser control to look for specific keywords and refresh the page every X minutes. I cover something similar in 599cd.com/ACX24
