… One great resource is Omri Gazitt’s weblog post Porting from Beta1 to Beta2. This helped me resolve most of the problems that I was having with changed attribute names. Omri is on the Indigo team at Microsoft and I will be taking a look at his presentation decks from PDC this weekend.
There was one holdover that was still lingering in my config file though, the securityMode attribute in the [read more…]

Yesterday I had to make some updates to a friend/client’s Access 2003 application. We had some problems with me emailing her updates that were daunting to her and one that was definitely mystifying to me! I do know that you can’t just email MDB files, but these problems were different than that.
The daunting (to her) problem, I was able to solve thanks to this recent discovery. I had zipped one of the MDB files and she needed to unblock the zip file and then unblock the MDB file.
The other problem, I couldn’t solve until she sent me her file. For a second solution, I sent her a small MDB file that contained only a handful of objects for her to import into her MDB file. Rather than zipping, I just renamed the file to whateverfile.mdb.myname and emailed it. She removed “.myname” from the file and imported the objects into her other file. But she got some wierd results when running the macro, which opens four queries then a report. As I couldn’t understand her explanation, I had her send me the file. What I discovered was that all of the relationships between tables that were defined in the queries had been stripped out! I don’t know whta process did this. I had no problem at all doing the import locally and then returning the full file to her. Very odd.

Our neighbors are selling their house. They are just up the road from us. I would add to their description below that there are over a hundred acres of woods behind the house (each of us on the road own a chunk of those woods) with trails for hiking, dog walking and cross-country skiing. (But not for snowmobiles or ATVs or hunting.) You can walk through the woods right to a trail head to get onto the Long Trail, too! There is also DSL available on the road, but no cable. The DSL has been excellent for me with my demanding web access needs. Plus, of course, you will be able to attend meetings of Vermont.NET every month. We are a 4 hour drive from Boston, 3 hours to Montreal and from the Burlington airport, a 50 minute flight on Jet Blue to NYC. Burlington’s airport has lots of airlines with connections through the usual hubs.
