Access 97/2000 list and select example form

The form works fine with 97/2k/2003.
I didn't write this or come up with the concept. I don't know where I originally found it, so my apologies to the author to whom credit must go.
This file is as close to the original example as I can remember. list_example.zip

Getting around Outlook 2000 SP3 security problem (works with 2003)

Installing Office 2000 SP3 and then finding that Outlook complained when I sent stuff to it from Access was not my ideal way to spend a Saturday. I spend a lot of time looking around on Microsft's site and other places to find a way around it.
After a couple of hours I found a very good solution from a guy named Dmitry Streblechenko.
It's called "Redemption" and it's a very good work around as well as being free for non-commercial use.
There's a few other interesting things there as well. Well worth checking out.

Password Protected Example (Access2000/2003)

I needed a way of passwording forms that gave me a reusable form with the ability to use different passwords as well as either hiding the parent form or closing it.
I can up with this which works quite well and it also has the choice of opening a seperate form or not. I'm even using it to password protect individual fields on forms. passwd_demo.zip

Shelf Labeller for Fujitsu General G885 Cash Register

Over the last few weeks I've been developing writing barcodes directly from access. A client asked me if I could use it to print shelf labels for his supermarket.
He required that the info from his cash register management software be used. So I put it all together in a package for him called "Shelf Labeller". Follow this link to find out more.
