Mark, just hold the shift key while you open the database (this assumes
you haven't disabled the shift key). You'll get the mdb window and you

I actually use the on open event of start up forms to check for things,
be it Oracle connections (most of my regular work is against an Oracle
database) or a version control system. If the connection/version is not
as it should be, the on open event fires docmd.quit. If all is ok, I
set cancel = true without having to open the initial form and in you go...

Is there a way to get help the way you get it from the Python interpreter (eg, 'help(dir)' gives help on the 'dir' command) in the module cmd.Cmd? I know how to add commands and help text to cmd.Cmd but I would also like to get the man-page-like help for classes and functions. Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks. Sarir

I am doing a project for school that involves creating help files for a html authoring tool. If you could help me with answers to some questions it would really help. 1.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
