access a control in another form

How to access a control in another form and how to make a form become a MDI
container.

Hi,
How to access a control in another form
There's a property for each control determining its visibility outside the
form class. It's 'private' by default, you can change it to 'internal' or
'public' for the control field to become visible outside the form class.
Or, declare a public property on the form class returning the reference to
the control in question.
how to make a form become a MDI container.
There's a dedicated property on the form serving just this purpose -
IsMdiContainer.

I have a fairly large Access application that ran correctly in Access 2000. After upgrading to Access 2003 (and recompiling and updating references), it reliably crashes at a certain point. If I step through the VBA code, the crash does not occur. What is different about stepping through code instead of just running it? Any idea how to find the cause? I know about where it happens, but since it is Access itself crashing, finding a...

Hello, We are in the process of examining our current main application. We have to do some major changes and, in the process, are questionning/validating the use of MS Access as front-end. The application is relatively big: around 200 tables, 200 forms and sub-forms, 150 queries and 150 repports, 5GB of data (SQL Server 2000), 40 users. I'm wondering what are the disadvantages of using Access as front-end? Other that it's not...

Hi !! I'm about to develop a new project for a client. Should I go about it in Access 2003 or 2007 ? Purchasing it either for me or for my client is not a major consideration here ... what I'd like to know is the stability, speed & ease of use of both the products. I believe Access 2007 has a new file format too and that it may be slower.

Before anything else, I am not a very technical expert when it comes to VBA coding. I learned most of what I know by the excellent Access/VBA forum from bytes.com (formerly thescripts.com).

I would be using layman's words, or maybe, my own words as how I understand them, hoping, you will understand it the same way that...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
