Seeking Ken Sheridan

[RonaldWK]

Dear Ken,

You helped me tremendously via WUGNET Office forum several years ago by
providing code to do two things in my Access 2002 Plant Data Base (for a
landscape architecture practice).

You provided a way to bring photo images into my entry and review form
without having to save the image files with the data base (over a gig of
storage).

You also provided a means to search the database to quickly find plants by
genus name, with a keystroke pick list.

Genius! I can't tell you how much time and expense you saved me.

I have upgraded to Office 2007 (for reasons unrelated to Access), and now I
find my great macros no longer work. May I contract with you to update these
macros so I can gain their functionality again?

Many thanks and regards,
Ron

The first thing to do is to make the folder containing your database a Trusted
location using the Trust Center. See the help for "Trust".

 

[RonaldWK]

Yea! That did it, John.

Man, I just don't have time to go back and study VB programming!

I seem to recognize your name. Did you also hang out at WUGNET at one time?
Do you know Ken Getz. We used to correspond when I programmed apps in Ashton-
Tate's Framework way back when. Ken was an A-T techy before he got onto the
Access development team.

Many, many thanks!
Ron

I was on the old CompuServe forums before I came here; I've visited WUGNET but
never really spent time there. Getz is one of the Access deities of course;
I've used his Developer's Handbook innumerable times over the years, but never
corresponded with him personally.

 

[RonaldWK]

Yes. It was the CS forums I remembered you from.

Again, many thanks, you saved me again!

Regards,
Ron
