Visits to the blog on February 16

Hi all
This is my first post for today. The second is in the oven and will be posted soon.
Well, it's less than a month I've decided to publish some posts about programming and databases.
My choice was MS Access because this is the tool I use since 1993, when I discovered the 2.0 version. Of course in the future will be posts of other languages, but by now, it's my developing tool.
I would like to talk about why I use Access to develop, and why this may seem a hobbysts tool but is so far of this definition, but it will be in another post, I don't want to bore anyone.

I started to publish last feb 10, and this last month I've been following the visits to the blog all days.
This is the third time I start a blog, and by now, it's the most visited.
I would like to share with you a graph of the visits. I'm proud of those data, and I hope to increase those numbers.
I have a list of more than 20 posts ready to finish, and this list grows day by day, because there are always new things to tell, specially when you use this tool everyday.
I'm very proud of those results. It seems you like the blog and the posts.
I'll do my best to post more technical posts to increase your interest.

Another time, thank you very much to read my blog.

How to export data from access to a text file

Introduction Hi all Today's post is about a set of functions to export data from Access to text files. I wrote the next functions years ago, when working on a big project and I had to export some of my data to another system, by text files, regularly. I needed something easy for the users, and transparent. I will explain what I did, and how. At the end of this post you will find a link to download the example of code. Feel free to modify it. Sometimes it happens that we need to export data. Of course, almost always we may write to another database. As I said before, I wrote this code to cover a need. This is a brief: I've been working for a company who mades canned fish. They had their ERP software, made by a external firm, and mantained across more than 20 years. When I entered, I had to write a software to control the production process and traceability. Of course, my processes (my software) was a subset of all the other software, and they had to communicate th...

Use of listboxes as a data summary instead data forms

Hi all This post is an extension of the previous post ( how to develop a carousel ). Here I will show how to manage a summary form linked to a detail one, in order to show data and detail them. I want to clarify that this is not "the way" to work with access, this is "a way". This is the way I use. After been developing Access applications, I've found this is a good solution, and I use it almost always. I will improve the previous example, the used cars seller adding a new form. The new form has a listbox and some buttons (add, delete, duplicate and modify) to perform those operations. All those operations are solved using VBA, as you may see. The new form is named Main. You may see in the next screenshot I've added new records. Once the form is loaded, the data are stored in the listbox using the Form_load event. The objects are named as follows: Button Add is named cmdAdd Button Duplicate is named cmdDuplicate Button Delete is named cmdD...

How to develop a carousel

Introduction Hi all! This week's post is a mix of part of the previous made practical. I will make grow the present example in following posts. We have seen how to organise an application, how to manage attached files, and how to work with options. This week we will join some of those characteristics to develop a Carousel. This is an example I've made some years ago to help a user with a carousel for used cars. It's made thinking on the spanish market, and I've used the plate number usual in Spain, that is, a number between 0000 and 9999 and three characters B-Z (avoiding the vowels). It's made with Access 2003. What is a carousel and when may be useful? A carousel is a form to show images, pictures, and when is loaded shows, automatically, a picture each time. In this case is each 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds). This may be useful, for example, in a business where you want to show photos of your goods to your customers: used cars, real estate..., that can...
