Rather than add a command button to your form to open another object in your database, you can use a hyperlink. Using images, labels and command buttons as hyperlinks is an easy way to add a control that allows users to open and display an object without programming.

To create a hyperlink that opens the Product Categories List table from an unbound form in your database, follow these steps:

Note that instead of a label, you could also use a command button or image; just change its SubAddress property to the object’s address.

Unlike command buttons, hyperlinks only allow you to open an object and move to a location within it. Any programming is limited to the control’s on-click event.

Excel 2007’s data visualization feature automatically gives every cell in a range a color, icon, or data bar according to its value. If you are analyzing a small number of values, this makes it easy to see which ones met your target goals. But what if you are examining a list with 100 rows of data? In this case, you will want to use Excel’s conditional formatting feature to build rules for marking only the cells outside your target range of values.

For example, say you want to mark only those cells that have a value greater than 100 with an X. Follow these steps:

Now, an orange X denotes all values above 100. An exclamation point denotes values equal to 100, and values below 100 remain unformatted.

If you use a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account, typically your e-mail messages, calendar, contacts, and other items are delivered to and stored in your mailbox on the server. When you install Outlook on a new computer and select an Exchange Server e-mail account in the E-mail Account Wizard, all your items on the server are again available to you. The remaining information in this article does not apply to you, unless you created archive or local data files or specified that your Exchange messages be delivered to a local data file.

It's your lucky day! I have two brand new digital photography tips for you today and I think you're really going to enjoy them. The two topics really have nothing to do with each other, but I figured they were both something you all might be interested in. Let's take a look!

Tip #1 – Photographing Your Pets

People love to take pictures of their pets, but this is how the photos usually turn out:

As you can see, that picture definitely requires a lot of help. Luckily, if you just follow the simple tips below, you can fix up your pet photos in no time at all!

Get Down and Dirty – You usually see your pet from above, but that's not the best angle for a portrait. Instead, flop down on the floor and meet them at eye level. Shooting from their height presents them as an equal in the photo, which will help bring out their personality.

Light it Right – Direct on-camera flash will give your pet a killer case of green, yellow or blue eyes. Try to avoid any direct flash if possible. If you can, bounce the flash off the ceiling or a wall. Or, you can just ditch the flash and use the light around you, both indoors and out.

Fill the Frame – I'm sure you've heard of this one before. It's important to fill your camera's frame with your subject in order to make the subject prominent in the photo. You can then crop out any distractions later on.

It's All in the Eyes – You might find yourself shooting with a shallow depth of field, so no matter what else you do, make sure your pet's eyes are in focus. The eyes are the window to the soul and they must be kept clear.

Ahh, that's a much better picture, don't you think?!

Tip #2 – Shooting Water

When drinking, some like their water icy, while others like it tepid. It's simply a matter of taste. In photography, moving water can be recorded with various appearances, depending on the shutter speed. Some like it frozen in an instant of time and some like it blurred with a long exposure. There's no right or wrong. How you like to photograph water is also just a matter of taste. Here are three other approaches you may like as well.

Glass Sculpture – Fast shutter speeds like 1/500" or 1/1000" will depict moving water as frozen solid. Splashes and droplets will hang suspended in online viagra australia the air.

Minor Blur – Intermediate shutter speeds like 1/15" or 1/30" give some motion blur to the water, but individual ripples and splashes are still discernible. You'll probably need a tripod or other camera support when using such slow shutter speeds.

Silky Smooth – Shutter speeds of 1/2" or longer will smear the water out to a smooth, cottony, smoky look. You'll definitely need a tripod to achieve this look when photographing water.

Now, go on and take some great shots of your pets and of water. Or, your pets in water. You decide. Have fun!
