What happened to the Auto-Dialer in Access 2003?
There was an Auto-dialer button available in Access 2003. It was available
from either the form or datasheet view. It was accessible from the Menu by clicking 'View-Toolbars-Customize-Records'. I cannot find it in Access 2007. Can anyone advise me where to find it? -- Randy |

Not sure it's there (I don't have Access 2007 installed on this machine),
but see whether http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ac...388991033.aspx helps you. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Randy" wrote in message ...

What happened to the Auto-Dialer in Access 2003?
Thanks for your reply. I had already tried that link. It does help on many
things. Unfortunately, if you follow the menu clicks I referred to it does not let you drill down that far. In fact, it tells you that some things are missing, but it does not tell you what is missing. Odd thing is that I am the 'only' person as far as I can tell who is searching for this. It would sure seem that someone else used it in 2003 and would be looking for it in 2007. In fact, I thought about creating an Access 2003 database which uses the item and then convert the mdb to accdb and see what happens. Does that make any sense? -- Randy "Douglas J.

Probably worth a try.
Just because the interactive cross-reference doesn't let you drill down further, have you tried it in Access 2007? -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Randy" wrote in message ...

What happened to the Auto-Dialer in Access 2003?
I have not tried it. That is actually my point. I don't know how to do it
in VBA and I don't know how to access the auto-dialer command button in Access 2007. -- Randy "Randy" wrote: There was an Auto-dialer button available in Access 2003.

What happened to the Auto-Dialer in Access 2003?
Did you follow the instruction from the cross-reference? The commands that
were previous accessible through View | Toolbars | Customize are accessed by clicking on the Office button (the round icon in the upper left-hand corner) -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Randy" wrote in message ...

What happened to the Auto-Dialer in Access 2003?
Yep. I did that and I cannot find the Auto-Dialer Button. It is gone. I
just wish things like this were addressed somewhere. I have wasted hours trying to figure out what they did with it. -- Randy "Douglas J.

Rhandy
I am having the same problem. I can't believe it's absence has gone virtually unnoticed. Any other clues? Tom "Randy" wrote: Yep. I did that and I cannot find the Auto-Dialer Button. It is gone.

What happened to the Auto-Dialer in Access 2003?
Tom, I have yet to hear from anyone who can tell me what to do. I don't
think Microsoft knows what happened to it. And, if they do, they have advised their support people to not tell us. Randy -- Randy "Tom" wrote: Rhandy I am having the same problem.

What happened to the Auto-Dialer in Access 2003?
This isn't the answer but may be of interest to you as a workaround:
It includes an example of "replicating" auto dialer functionality. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837146 "Randy" wrote in message ... There was an Auto-dialer button available in Access 2003.
