2 questions

[Allen Browne]

For an example of how to use the SysCmd, open the Northwind sample database,
and look in the Utility module. They have a wrapper function named
IsLoaded(). You can copy that function if you wish.

BTW, in Access 2002, you can also use:
CurrentProject.AllForms("MyForm").IsLoaded

I'm not sure what else is happening with your menus, but it appears to be a
mouse issue rather than an Access issue. I have had inconsistent results by
specifying a function name in the button's action, and found that a macro
name works better. The macro just used RunCode to call the function.

Is this only happening in ACCESS or does it happen in other programs also?

If it happens in other programs, I seem to recall there is a mouse setting with
later versions of MS Windows that can cause this kind of behavior. I would try
one of the Microsoft.Public.Win2000 groups for an answer

Hi guys.

I have two questions for you today:

1. Weired login problem
I am developinig a site for a conference where i have a login page for
members. This page is called index.php and includes different types of modules,
according to the type of user logged on. The problem is now following:
i have a login function hidden in a class, this function registers a bunch
of variables. After the user has submited the details, index.php (which calls
the session_start()) calls the login function. Then i check whether a session
variable is present ($_SESSION['name']). If yes, we include the members
area, otherwise we include the login table again. Now: on my test server
(XP/Apache/php4.3.2) all is well. However, on the real server (Linux/Apache/php4.0.x)
it just includes the login table anyway, even if the login was successful. I
then have to click on the menu link again to include the member script.
Why is that?

2. Save a large amount of text to a file
On the same page i have some type of cms going. The admin users can change
txt files which relate to text on some of the general pages. I have now found
that it is only transmits a certain amount of text via GET to the function
that writs to the files. Is there a restriction on passing text via url? If yes
(which will be the case), how could i do this otherwise?

Thanks so long...

Thomas
P.S: this list still rocks
