... Sounds interesting! The ability to "automate" the various Office applications, is one of Microsoft's primary achievements, from a software viewpoint, IMO. When I started in computing maaaany years ago, there was no way that seperate programs could communicate, except by flat-file import/export. Now, your Access application can run the other Office applications automatically - even "behind the scenes" (with no user interface) - to do whatever they need to do. Yes! And the best part is, most of the time it works well! :-) Also, Corel has now begun to format their Corel Draw Graphics Suite, Draw and PhotoPaint, to also work with PowerPoint and Word as well as WordPerfect and Presentations. Their new CDGS v12 has these capabilities, which makes it really nice. I also use the CDGS, but only have v11. The new v12 does not support ME, sooooo...for now I can't get the newer update. Boooo! I plan on storing all the data for setup and filtering of the various training information in the Access database, and use it to call up and run the selected PowerPoint training projects. These will be used for electrified or non-electrified commuter and/or Light Rail transit Wayside equipment inspection and maintenance training at the 3 levels of job classification advancement, Asst. Lineman, Lineman, and Electromechanic (Journeyman electrician). As soon as I've completed the first training project I'm going to test it out. It should work.......ahmmm.....should......vbg All good stuff! Indeed! And fun stuff too! :-)) Jan Smiles are meant to be shared, that's why they're so contagious. "Jan Il" wrote in message ... Hi TC :-) "test" wrote in message ... Might be a nice little app: Access to Word or Powerpoint! I've tested the concept of working between Access and Word before, to specific groups of inspection forms created in and stored in Word, which are called from a filter or control form within Access. It does work well. Dirk Goldgar created the exact function to do this for me some time ago, which we will build into a new app. I am currently working on. I've worked on a joint project between Access and PowerPoint, but, only for a one shot event. I am also now working on a project for PowerPoint maintenance training projects, including animated digital photos and data controlled in Access. It's fun stuff. ;=) Jan Smiles are meant to be shared, that's why they're so contagious. "Lynn Trapp" wrote in message ... It sounds like you have it well in hand. Keep up the good work. :-) -- Lynn Trapp MS Access MVP www.ltcomputerdesigns.com Access Security: www.ltcomputerdesigns.com/Security.htm "Jan Il" wrote in message ... Hi Lynn :-) "Lynn Trapp" wrote in message ... Hi Jan! :-) Well...as I don't have the Developer's Edition, I won't be able to create a runtime version. And...guess that s'plains why I couldn't find anything on it....??? :=) Yeah, that would kind of splain it...LOL. TC's suggestion to put some screen shots in Power Point might work well. I would prefer to put them in Word, though, because it's a little more flexible AND you can print it out as a training document later on. Yes, Word may offer a bit more flexibility, as you say. I may want to add some other informationl. I'm also thinking that once setup in Word, I could then take some of them into PowerPoint to insert perhaps arrows and/or call-outs that would also be animated for specific emphasis as well. I hope something like that will help you do what you need to do. Thank you very much for your time and help, I truly appreciate it. I'll give them a go and see where I get......besides in trouble. ;=)) HAIW, Jan Smiles are meant to be shared, that's why they're so contagious. |

I have a personal restaurant database I have been working on for a couple of years and for Version 1.0 ALL of my Help files were created with this utility. For example, to display posting an invoice I simply recorded an example. All of the Help topics were launched from a "Help Form."

Hi Jeff! :-)
"Jeff Conrad" wrote in message ... Hi Jan, Yes, I have heard of this, and thought about that too, but, with ME, I have not had much luck with some of the newer add-ins, either installing properly, or working properly. I'll to attenting the 2nd annual PowerPoint Live Conference being held in San Diego in Oct this year, and I'll be able to meet up again with my PPT MVP buddies Steve Rindsberg, Brian Rielly, and a few of the other top PPT graphics and media MVP's who will be hosting the various siminars there, as well as John Langhans, MS PowerPoint Supportability Program Manager, and Richard Brettschneider, Lead Program Manager for PowerPoint, who will also be attending again this year. Sooo... I'll make this one of my primary investigation projects while there. ;=)) Sounds like the perfect place to bounce some ideas around. If you happen to come across some good ideas, pass them along. I'm in the same boat about wanting to 'show' people a database program who do not have Access. I don't really have the money for the Developer's Edition. Absolutely! There is going to be a special siminar on graphics and just such inter-action of various programs this year, and the two MS Managers are very open and eager to help find better ways of doing things. If there is a need for a better method of interaction between Access and PowerPoint, I feel sure they will be willing to see what they can do. John Langhans is a great supporter on the PowerPoint newsgroup now as well, and he has some really great ideas. I'll be sure to pass on any information I get from that end, and perhaps there might be some here on the Access end who would be willing to put in a good word to MS as well. It would be a very powerful combination for the growing needs of many companies, however, right now, it's rather difficult to accomplish with some types of apps. You might be the only one who understands what that is. ;-) LOL!! W'll hey....the Gold Star calendar on the wall over my 'puter is totally dedicated to that! ;=)) Excellent, well done!

But, neither I, or the company, ever had Access 97, as we went from Word Perfect straight to Office 2000. I still have ME at home, but, we have NT at work. I have heard of similar programs that you probably are thinking of too. I'll check out the possiblities of some of them, as it might be worth it in presenting app. excerpts on machines that don't have Access. Sounds like Camcorder might not be an option based on Brendan's observations. I'm in Virginia at the moment, so I can't check my home machine right now, but, as you mention this, it seems to me I have seen something in reference to a 'Camcorder' in my trees somewhere on the hard drive and I just never paid attention to it. It may be someting that came with another program I have, or just a thingie to 'go with'. I'll check this out when I get home. Well you may find this to be a complete surprise, especially since you are a "PowerPoint Junkie", but have you looked at the Producer Add-In for Powerpoint 2002 and 2003? I did a little research and came across it. I've never heard of it, but it appears to do basically the same thing as Camcorder does (not positive though). The 2003 Producer Add-In works with PowerPoint 2002 and 2003. I know you have 2002, but the OS may be a problem. It looks like it won't work on ME. The articles say "not supported" so it may not install at all or it will, but you would not receive any support for problems. Not sure. Here are some links to get you started: http://www.microsoft.com/office/powe.../overview.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/office/powe...fo/sysreq.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en http://office.microsoft.com/search/r...EC010331121033 (Watch out for any line wrapping) I would definitely ask your PowerPoint MVP friends about it. Maybe someone has a spot to download the older 2002-only Add-In which might work on ME. Just a thought. Thank you very much for the additional information. It would be nice if they had continued to include such a function with their newer Office versions, or at least an add-to maybe. Perhaps I can make a wish?? g Well your wish may have already been granted. Hopefully so...g *281 Days Left* And counting!! ;=))) Jan "Jan Il" wrote in message ...

Of course! Cool. I'm having fun making some Add-Ins for stuff that I have been using for quite a while. The Doug Steele Object Documentor will create a slick report of all the objects in a database. This new one is called the "John Viescas Table Documentor." It creates a very nice report (and table) of all the fields in all the tables of the database. It uses code found in his sample files. I got tired of importing everything into my databases so I decided to make an Add-In. This is so much simpler than the built-in Documentor. For objects I just do Tools--Add-Ins--Doug Steele Object Documentor. For table fields Tools--Add-Ins--John Viescas Table Documentor. Bam!! All done in just a few seconds. Very nice and extremely easy. I have a couple other ideas as well for other Add-Ins. No problem, right now I just have more questions than answers on your database. Write me and I'll try to answer them... and if you're lucky, I won't send you vacation pictures! Ok, it will be a while though. I'm still trying to get caught up on work. W'll hey, as long as you're passing around the add-in goodies, mind thowing a few my way too?

I've completed testing the "John Viescas Table Documentor" for 97 and everything is fine. I still need to test on the later Access versions before releasing that one. I should hopefully be finished this weekend. I'll ask John to see if he would be willing to post that one on his site. I'll get back to you on this. On the Access MVP Name Matching Game I *think* my best time is around four minutes. I'd have to check. Arica is not very good at that one, but she loves the color matching one! :-) -- Jeff Conrad Access Junkie Bend, Oregon *279 Days Left* |

I know the utility could not record using an NT machine, but I could play them on one. I used 98 to record all the Help files. Since Jan is still using ME, maybe by chance it works with that OS??? Just a thought. Do you know if that came bundled with 2000, 2002, or 2003? -- Jeff Conrad Access Junkie Bend, Oregon *281 Days Left* "Brendan Reynolds" brenreyn at indigo dot ie wrote in message ... Unfortunately, Camcorder doesn't work with recent versions of Windows. Some problem with a missing video codec, whatever that means. -- Brendan Reynolds (MVP) http://brenreyn.blogspot.com The spammers and script-kiddies have succeeded in making it impossible for me to use a real e-mail address in public newsgroups.

"Jeff Conrad" wrote in message ... Hi Jan, Just a suggestion from left field. Do you or your office still have a copy of Office 97 Professional Edition? On that CD is a program called Microsoft Camcorder. In essence it is a utility that "records" what you are doing on the screen. You press start to record and then stop to finish. You can then compress and covert the .avi output file to an .exe file. The file could still be pretty big if you record for a very long time, but burning it onto a CD should be no problem. You could break up certain aspects of the project into smaller chunks. I have a personal restaurant database I have been working on for a couple of years and for Version 1.0 ALL of my Help files were created with this utility. For example, to display posting an invoice I simply recorded an example. All of the Help topics were launched from a "Help Form." It worked very well, but became too much maintenance as the project became MUCH bigger. Since these are .exe files, virtually any computer should be able to open the files whether or not they have any Access/Office version. I'm not sure if this utility came bundled with later Office versions. I know you can also purchase programs like these as well. Just a thought. -- Jeff Conrad Access Junkie Bend, Oregon *281 Days Left* "Jan Il" wrote in message ... Hi All - Access 2002 XP - Win ME Is there an Viewer for Access like the one for Word? I need to show a sample of an Access app. on a machine that does not have Access loaded. If so, I would truly appreciate a reference or a link where I can downloaded it. I've been searching for one on the Internet for the past hour or so, but, haven't turned up any information for one yet. Just thought I'd see if one was available before I went any further. :-) Best regards. Jan Smiles are meant to be shared, that's why they're so contagious. |

The Doug Steele Object Documentor will create a slick report of all the objects in a database. This new one is called the "John Viescas Table Documentor." It creates a very nice report (and table) of all the fields in all the tables of the database. It uses code found in his sample files. I got tired of importing everything into my databases so I decided to make an Add-In. This is so much simpler than the built-in Documentor. For objects I just do Tools--Add-Ins--Doug Steele Object Documentor. For table fields Tools--Add-Ins--John Viescas Table Documentor. Bam!! All done in just a few seconds. Very nice and extremely easy. I have a couple other ideas as well for other Add-Ins. W'll hey, as long as you're passing around the add-in goodies, mind thowing a few my way too? Can't let you guys get too far ahead of me, ya know. ;=)) BTW...I'm down to (or up to??) 1/2 hour on your Access MVP Match Game. How far ahead of me is Arica now? vbg Doug will actually be posting the "Doug Steele Object Documentor" on his website in the very near future. Keep checking back there once in a while for that one. Great! I'll check Doug's site then for this one. I've completed testing the "John Viescas Table Documentor" for 97 and everything is fine. I still need to test on the later Access versions before releasing that one. I should hopefully be finished this weekend. I'll ask John to see if he would be willing to post that one on his site. I'll get back to you on this. 'k...just five me a holler. :-) On the Access MVP Name Matching Game I *think* my best time is around four minutes. I'd have to check. Arica is not very good at that one, but she loves the color matching one! :-) Four minutes?? Heh....seems lately I have the attention span of a 2 y/o at nap time. But......I'm slowly getting there with the color one too. :-) Jan Smiles are meant to be shared, that's why they're so contagious. |
