Yes, you’re right Avi, but my point was, should you really have to filter them out? There are many problems with those filters too. You cannot copy and paste them for instance. I’ll have to think about your question and get back to you.

you can use the filter to get only the company you want.
talking on the topic of permission how I can generate a report per screen that will show only the user that have at least one permission and not showing all users wit no permission at all!!

Great tip! This is really a huge performance issue that many struggle with. Happy that you’ve pointed this out. And yes, be sure to use a test system! Messing with the UTIL directory will cripple your database quickly, if you are not careful – even when you “know” what you’re doing!

David,

I understand what you are saying and completely agree. I was just basically telling James that TECHNICALLY he did not need those lines and was not advocating not backing up your data before making a big change. Trust me, I know how important it is to back up your data haha.

Thanks,
Alex

I’m sorry James, I completely missed your question when you posted it. I didn’t notice it until Alex replied to it. Technically you are both correct. However, I ALWAYS make a temporary back up of a table when I modify it. In fact, I’m writing a blog article now about a user who made a pretty big mistake when he failed to do so.

James,

By the looks of it, the CSPOPUPTEMP table is created just as a backup of the data in case something gets messed up. If you are not worried about backing up the data (if it’s a test system or test server) then you should not need to use the first few lines there. Basically, what it’s doing is checking if there is a table called ‘CSPOPUPTEMP’ and if there is, it drops it. It then proceeds to fill it again allowing you a backup in case of problems.

Hope that helped.

Thanks,
Alex

Comment on Honey, I Shrunk my Project File by Glenn

I’ve written many VBA scripts and in every case, I export the modules. It may be the only way you can recreate your hard work on the complex module, should it become corrupt.

I have done a lot of work with VBA. Whenever I am working on a Project I always copy each module code into a work document periodically for backup purposes. In the last three years I never remember a VBA script going corrupt or acting buggy without due cause on my programming.

My method for knowing when I need to start from an empty project file is when my changes are not being saved in the Project once a leave M2M. Then I start with an empty project file and rebuild with the word documents.

My biggest complaint with VBA is that the documentation on their set of tools is very vague. At the last user conference during a VBA session the VBA the presenter referred to an event that was new to me. I asked about the event and was told there are many events, methods and objects that do not even list out from M2M. You just have to know.

I begged for a some “built in” way to customize M2M at the last user conf, to no avail. VBA has always been buggy, but it does work if you treat it with kid gloves. Make backups every 5 min.

Has anyone had trouble getting it to work on Vista? ADO in particular.
