How do I... Transfer data from a Word form to an Access Database?

Although Access forms are powerful interface objects, your users might not be familiar with them. However, your users may be very familiar with Word forms. Susan Sales Harkins shows you how to use a Word form to collect data and then transfer that data to an Access table. The technique requires an Access database, a Word form, and a bit of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code.

How do I... Use Zoomify to improve my digital images in Photoshop CS3?

Photoshop CS3 has a way to put your photo online and it will still download quickly with all of its high-resolution glory intact. It's a dirty little secret called the Zoomify function. The Zoomify function actually creates a finished Flash file from within Photoshop. John Lee shows you how it works.

How do I... Pass data over a network using disconnected recordsets?

Dragging only the data you actually need and only when you need it is the key to working efficiently across a network, but there's more. In Microsoft Access, you can also retrieve data using a disconnected recordset, which keeps the data on the client side, so objects respond quicker. Susan Harkins shows you how to set it up.

How do I... Build and configure an external hard drive enclosure?

Do you have an old hard drive, which still works, lying around and gathering dust that you’d like to put to good use? If you answered yes, then chances are good that you’ve thought about using your old drive as an external hard drive. Fortunately, building an external hard drive is an easy task. Since you already have the hard drive, all you need is an enclosure, a screw driver, and less than an hour of your time.

How do I... Reject alpha characters in a SQL Server character column?

Enforcing your data's integrity is probably the single most important issue you face when designing a database. Validating user input is one way of keeping bad data from making its way into your analysis and reports. It only takes one piece of bad data to throw everything off. Susan Sales Harkins explains how to use CHECK constraints in SQL Server to control user input.

How do I... Install plugins for Firefox in Linux?

For many, one of the biggest obstacles in Linux is installing applications. Because the computing world has grown so accustomed to click and install, the idea of having to manually install something is very foreign. Installing plugins for the Linux version of Firefox isn't that difficult once you know what you are doing. Jack Wallen shows you how.

Make Vista launch UAC restricted programs at startup with Task Scheduler

When you start Windows Vista have you encountered a warning message in the notification that indicates that Vista has blocked a startup program? The reason that this type of warning is displayed is because Vista discovered a program that has User Account Control (UAC) restrictions in either the startup process or logon process. Greg Shultz shows you how to use Task Scheduler to make Vista run UAC restricted programs at startup.

How do I... Animate photographic elements with masks in Flash?

Manipulating heavier graphic elements in Flash increases file size and can make your animation sluggish. But there is another way to get some great, high-functioning animation effects with bitmap graphics using Masks. John Lee shows you how simple it is to give life and motion to photographic elements in Flash CS3 by animating a Vector-shape mask over it.

Remove all remnants of the Windows Vista SP1 installation

When you install Vista SP1, the installation procedure leaves all of the pre-SP1 files on your system in case you need to uninstall it. As you can imagine, these files, which are required to allow you to uninstall SP1 and revert back to the original version, can take up a large amount of hard disk space. In this edition of the Windows Vista Report, Greg Shultz shows you how to use the Vista SP1 Files Removal Tool.
