You are here:
String manipulation, Database access and usage, Class creation, and encapsulation are my strong suits. Active X Controls and DLL`s also. Although I don`t deal with Crystal - frankly because I don`t like it; I prefer to do things manually.

VB is the most flexible programming language which encompasses a fast solution and easy to learn architecture. THERE IS NO ONE WAY TO PERFORM A TASK!
Never done learning. Always want more. More API knowledge, more fine-tuning DB access, and more sub-classing knowledge is always welcome.
The lineage of VB is impressive. It started in the DOS days with GWBASIC which REQUIRED line numbers for every line. That transformed into QBasic which REALLY was an amazing enhancement for GWBasic and had great funcitonality. (It even works today if you can find the EXE!) QBasic begat QuickBasic which essentially (with a few exceptions) was QBasic with the ability to have multiple mod
I believe VB is every bit as good and in some ways better than VC++. Yes VC++ can do a lot of things quicker (nanoseconds) and can access some things VB supposedly can't. But learning API's and subclassing can really open doors previously thought closed.

Pretty easy. I don't know how your month is in your database (if it's in a date field or separate field), but I'll assume a separate field for this example. - Create a text field on your Access form
It would rather involved then because you'd have to find every control (other than those inside the panel) and program the MouseMove event for them to set a flag when the panel is visible and the mouse
This design is more of a hack IMO. I would prefer to make a form (like a splash screen) with no title bar, no Close/Minimize/Maximize, actions and then make that form Modal when you call it. In that
This sounds like a homework question. I'll answer, but you really should experiment with it to understand it. If you don't have access to a VB, just thinking it through logically would work. Your
In Word 2007, text boxes are slightly different. They are "Shapes". So, use: Dim Doc As Word.Document Dim oShape As Word.Shape Set Doc = ActiveDocument For Each oShape In Doc.Shapes Debug
