To comp.databases. ms-access --
I'm running Microsoft Access 2003 on Windows XP Professional. I have
a "Test" version and a "Production " version of our database, with the
same dataset name, but located in different paths (folders). I'd like
to find a way to always display on the screen, when the database is in
use, whether it is the "Test" version or the "Production " version.
Any ideas? Note that I do not want to do anything which would make
the 2 database versions different from each other (including giving
them different dataset names), since I frequently copy them, back and
forth, between Test and Production.
I'm thinking along the lines of an "Autoexec" macro, that would run
some VBA code, to check what the path is, when the database starts
up ... but I'm not sure how to display this information to the user,
so that it would be clearly visible at all times. Thanks for any
help! Best,

Put this in the form_load event:
me.caption = application.Cur rentDb.Name
or put this in the ToolTip property of a label:
Label1.ToolTip = application.Cur rentDb.Name
or create a label...
Label1.Caption = application.Cur rentDb.Name

In your test folder create a text file called test.txt (doesn't matter what
it contains).
On your main form create a label with the caption "This is the test
database" and set its visible property to False. Call the label
"lblTestNotice" .
In the form's OnLoad event, put the following code:
Dim strPath As String, strName As String
strName = CurrentDb.Name
strPath = Left(strName, InstrRev(strNam e, "\"))
Me.lblTestNotic e.Visible = (Dir(strPath & "test.txt") <"")
The label will only be visible when the database has been launched from the
test folder. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I need a test so I can determine whether a url points to a text file or to a

be reliab;e (dependent on the web server configuration). Can anyone help?
The test should be something like:

when using the hotshot profiler, I can see no difference in the

For instance I have this output:

I could use some regular expression help. I'm trying to create a

the markup of text that has been copied into a textarea input field,
then will insert html tags accordingly.
So, the user writes up a document in word that contains instances of
italics, bold, and underline. The user then copies the text of that
document into my textarea field. I am trying...

In our company, i have three servers;
1) a development server (mine only - here i make daily changes and test my
stuff)
2) a test server (for the users to test milestone builds - changes weekly)
3) production server (for when a new build is fully tested, and stable)
The problem is that the connectionstring in the web.config, should be
replaced with something else, for each of the enviroments.

I went to restore a backup of my production DB on my test/developmental
server. The backup on the prod system was taken /before/ alt_obj() was
used there to do some schema evolution.
The restore on the test box barfed on the roll forward because alt_obj()
uses COPY YES on its LOAD, and the test box did not have the magic data
COPY YES files (apparently they are in ~/sqllib/tmp?).

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
