Thanks Alex
Sorry about the 'New Thread' thing - on another Forum I'm on I only have
to change the Subject Line - Now I know!! (Thanks for explaining it to me!!)
A few further questions :
- does the form contain any image fields ?
- does the form contain any boolean fields ?
- is the form based on a joined query (multitable), a view, or just a
simple one table query ?
My Form has approx 70 fields of which 3 are "Picture" fields, (One plain
graphic and two photos) although all records do not have all photos -
some have none or just one. ALL records have a graphic, it is a visual
identification of the Status of the person in each record.
There are no Boolean fields or Macros or anything like that and all the
data comes out of ONE table. However I did experiment at one time by
adding a couple of buttons to do things automatically. ie a button next
to the eMail address to send an eMail to that person. Maybe I should
remove these for now and see if these are causing the problem - what do
you think??
The form saved outside of the database shouldn't contain any personal
data other than that of the user that created it (and only then if you
have filled in those details in the corresponding LO Options screen). Of
course, it will contain references to the fields of the table(s) to
which it originally linked, which you may or may not want to reveal.
If you send me the ODB file in private (alex.thurgood<at> gmail.com), I
can assure you it will remain confidential (I'm an attorney).
I will wait your reply on the above before I send you anything. The
whole .odb file is large (332Mb) but the .odt Form file is much smaller
(16.4Kb).
Regarding the comment by Brian Baker on this "Confidentiality" matter I
must say I don't completely go along with this. Yes - the members have
given me their details "in confidence" with the understanding that it
will not be mis-used. _MY_ concern is that I let it get out into the
hands of Spammers and other such people that results in the Members
getting onto all sorts of Spam Lists and other Malware type situations
resulting from the "loss" of information entrusted to me!! The
information I hold here is available to all and any other member of our
Group but is NOT for general distribution. This is what I'm protecting!!
Thanks again Alex - I really do appreciate your help!!!!!!!!!
