Hi Brendan,
Curiosity got the best of me so I tried this out some more for fun. Microsoft Camcorder installs and runs just fine on Windows ME. The AVI output shows nothing but a blank screen. However, compressing to an EXE file runs just fine on 98, ME, NT, and XP. I'm pretty sure it will run on 2000 as well and I'll test that on Monday to be sure. Just FYI. -- Jeff Conrad Access Junkie Bend, Oregon "Brendan Reynolds" brenreyn at indigo dot ie wrote in message ... Recording. I don't think it will work with ME, but it's been a while, I could be wrong. And no, it was not included with any version later than 97. -- 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 Brendan, Are you referring to the actual recording process or the 'playing' process on later Windows versions? 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. |
