Hi all; 
 
If I'm adding a field through code, is there a way to give it a description 
 
that will then show up in the status bar of forms that reference the field? 
 
TIA; 
 
Amy

Domain aggregate function to count unique values?
If I were using the UI, I would create a Totals query to find the number of 
 
unique values in a field, but I want to put that number into a variable in 
 
my code.  Is there any way to do that using a Domain Aggregate function, or 
 
do I have to create a recordset based on a Totals query, and open the 
 
recordset and read the first record? 
 
Thank you.

Security-Is there a better way?
Does anyone know of a better way to secure an Access database than 
 
Microsoft's built-in security system?  Although the Microsoft Access Database 
 
Security system works, it is cumbersome.  If one is trying to open a secure 
 
database and is not set up for the right ‘mdw’, then all he/she gets is a 
 
message saying  that he can’t open the file.  If he sets the mdw to the one 
 
for the secure file he may have trouble opening other databases, which have 
 
not been secured.

Memory problems with Access
Hi everyone, I'm having a really strange problem with Access recently, and 
 
I'm hoping someone can maybe point me in the right direction. 
 
First, let me say that this is a huge project involving lots of custom-built 
 
VB DLL's, the Redemption EMAPI library, Outlook, etc., so Access itself may 
 
not directly be the problem.  Access/Outlook XP, VB6 SP6, not sure which 
 
version of Redemption off-hand, but moderately recent anyway.
