Making me look good.. thanks... a comment.

[Fred Boer]

Hello!



Ok, so I've been working on a little form that might allow my users to set a
custom picture for the splash screen, a custom application title and custom
icon, without having access to the database window. Ok, I hit some snags,
but I think I've got through them ( * ). Today, as I chewed on my lunch
bagel, I was tinkering and thought...."Wouldn't it be nice if I could have a
browse button to browse/select the file, rather than expecting the user to
type it in... That'd be way too hard, right?



BUT... when I took a gander over on Roger Carlson's site, I found a demo
showing exactly how to do this. AND, with a little more work, I realized
that I could use the FileOpen dialogue (...courtesy of Ken Getz) and set it
to open at the directory of my choosing AND limit it to the appropriate type
of files!! This is GREAT!! Now I have a browse button that will allow the
user to browse/select a file, and it is limited to the types of files that
will work! It looks so professional!



Ok, so maybe it's weird to be excited by this, but this is the kind of thing
I find that makes working with Access so fun! And it's due to the kindness
of strangers just posting solutions that make me look good, for free, out of
the goodness of their hearts! Thanks Roger, and Ken, and all of you!





Cheers!

I'll second this sentiment. I have a great Access app that is very sharp
looking and runs like a champ! I could not have done it without the help
and support of the people that follow the Access NG's.

You know who you are, thanks again!!!

I'm jumping on that bandwagon too...

I've learned a ton of information on these boards and continue to learn
almost daily. Thanks to those who have helped over the years! The
information and techniques I've learned continue to help me today.

Since we're having a love fest, I'd like to echo the comments of all above.

A big thank you to everyone!

Fred,

Go to www.mvps.org/access and go to the API section. The second example does
the same thing.

I just think that *you* don't (want to?) understand the message Steve...
The OP is talking about free help...

To Steve:
Over 430 users from the newsgroups have visited the website to read what kind of a 'resource' you are... (rapidly increasing..)

To the original poster:

Most people here have a common belief that the newsgroups are for *free exchange of information*.
But Steve is a notorious job hunter in these groups, always trying to sell his services.
