This three part video is an extended version of the original Events and Controls tutorial

Going back to basics. Here's a video on how to look at data.

This was my first video. A little sloppy.

Here it is. The first video! And I hope to keep them coming. This was an exciting first step for this project. Comments are always welcome. Suggestions for video topics are also welcome. Hope you enjoy.

I created this video for work but it contained some real basic database development strategy that I thought would be helpful.

Private Sub cmdFileDialog_Click()
 
   ' Requires reference to Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library.

   Dim fDialog As Office.FileDialog
   Dim varFile As Variant

   ' Clear listbox contents.
   Me.FileList.RowSource = ""

   ' Set up the File Dialog.
   Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)

   With fDialog

      ' Allow user to make multiple selections in dialog box
      .AllowMultiSelect = True
            
      ' Set the title of the dialog box.
      .Title = "Please select one or more files"

      ' Clear out the current filters, and add our own.
      .Filters.Clear
      .Filters.Add "Access Databases", "*.MDB"
      .Filters.Add "Access Projects", "*.ADP"
      .Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*"

      ' Show the dialog box. If the .Show method returns True, the
      ' user picked at least one file. If the .Show method returns
      ' False, the user clicked Cancel.
      If .Show = True Then

         'Loop through each file selected and add it to our list box.
         For Each varFile In .SelectedItems
            Me.FileList.AddItem varFile
         Next

      Else
         MsgBox "You clicked Cancel in the file dialog box."
      End If
   End With
End Sub

I like to post links to cool web tools I find.  It helps me to find them later and hopefully benefits you.

I was intending to upgrade my blog tools with the new Blogengine.net 1.6.1 but any hope of connecting to the old database and retaining any sanity is all but gone.  I've decided to start over.  I'll try to repost some of my code but really just for personal use.  I really don't think anyone reads this but it boosts my ego to have it.  My main purpose for having this blog up is for potential employers and clients.  If that is you, I encourage you to browse.
