Access controls on other forms

Dan
Is it possible to access controls on other forms when using managed C++? In
VB, it was a simple matter of declaring the form as global, but this is
apperently not possible when using managed code.

How does one modify or read control properties when the scope of the form is
limited to the function level?

I need to have several forms open at the same time and all interacting with
each other.

At your app level you need to save handles to your child forms.
Each form is based on a class so you'll need to declare public
methods that will allow access to the control externally.

I'm guessing to modify a control property in other form you'll
need to SendMessage targeting the control.

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...

Modal forms are great for locking the user out of non focused forms allowing tight control over program flow, but they have one side effect which user find very irritating i.e. Access cannot be minimized. Perhaps I should be satisfied with the routine I have written which disables controls on a form before the popup form is opened but a background form full of disabled controls can look damned ugly in certain circumstances:-

I'd like to open a discussion about the state of the industry. For the past year, I've been unable to find competent Access developers available for hire. I'm worried about that. I think there's great demand right now, and that's keeping the good developers busy, but that's not enough to explain the situation. Whenever I post an Access job, I get lots of responses from .NET developers, back-end database people, and web developers. They...

We are running an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL 7 back end. Our network guy is upgrading to Windows Server 2003 and wants to upgrade Office and SQL Server at the same time. We're moving to SQL Server 2005, and, since he already has licenses for Office Pro 2002, he wants to upgrade to that. I've been saying that we need to upgrade to Access 2003, not 2002, even if Office is kept at 2002. We are also looking to do a fair amount of...

SQL Server will be used as the back-end database to a non trivial client application. In question is the choice of client application: I need to be able to speak intelligently about when one client (MS Access vs ..NET Windows Forms) would be preferred over the other. While I have some good arguments on both sides, I would appreciate your points of view on the topic.
