Re: Handling Access events in .net

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Cindy,

This is wonderfull. You've no idea how much you have made my life easyer
over the next year or two.

In your first post on this topic you wrote: "I admit to being somewhat
puzzled as to why you'd embed Access when you could create the interfaces
'simply enough' in your .NET form. Excel, Word... Yes. But a database?"

I am working with a large and complex application that was writen before
my arival on the scene. It is currently writen in Access but I want to
transition to using VB without spending 6 months writing the client from
scratch (which my boss would never let me take the time to do anyway). Being
able to trigger VB code from within Access means that I can transition the
application slowly from Access to VB until everything is in VB and I can
eliminate the Access file entierly.

Thank you again.

I could do most of what I am after using toolbars. How would I go about that?

This KB article describes how to create CommandBars in an Office application
and link them to an event handler using VB.NET:

using C#

I have no idea what the differences would be doing this for an embedded
application object, but as long as you've got the application object and the
correct references I'm guessing it shouldn't be a problem.
