I'm not sure Ron's suggestion is the answer. If the customer is null you should fall through to the Else anyway. I'm on my phone and can't see your image very clearly. Are you sure the subform has AllowAdditions property set to False? Could they be adding a new record via the navigation buttons?

My turn for a dumb question: how is a user meant to enter data in a control if, every time they click on it, focus moves to the next control?

Haha! So, instead of spending 15 minutes setting the tab order you've wasted 24 hours trying to code a solution that breaks anyone's natural muscle memory for navigating between fields! Just want to make sure that you are aware that you can arrange tab order using drag and drop, not just by...

Erm, isn't that an internet connection? 😉

` You may wish to consider whether you actually want to use an Arduino board going forward. Arduino was just bought by Qualcomm and the enshitification has begun. you might also be interested in the quirks of their new board

TinyInt has a max value of 255 - so useless in a table of 108000 records! Beware also, sometimes you can not join between fields of different datatypes (perhaps this is an Access limitation - I'm not 100% sure) I think any savings will be negligible

Ah, I missed the tests - thank you @Gasman and @arnel for showing the benefit of SELECT 1 (y)

This is counter-intuitive (I'm not saying it is not true!) The * here does not require the db engine to enumerate any fields - this seems like an AI mis-understanding. It is not the same as SELECT * ... Using * generally allows the COUNT() query to use the table metadata statistics for record...

Out of curiosity, which datatypes are you converting from/to ?

I used to do similar dynamic html in the old version of the webbrowser control by first navigating to about:blank, and then writing to the DOM document of the loaded empty page. So, no need for external html file and not relying on js to create the initial document. Perhaps this technique...

Use a form for display. You can set the form's recordset to your parameterised qdf rst

Oops! Didn't see that they can connect via ssms, so the drivers must be installed. You are using trusted connection. Are all the other users set up to be able to access the server?

The odbc driver must be installed on each client machine. Is that the case?

The problem with the /cmd switch for this situation is that is does not work if the target accdb is already running. One possibility is that you can have a db specifically waiting for the /cmd that opens, connects to the user frontends, performs the required actions and then shuts down again to...

Frank, didn't you go through all this already a few years ago back on UA? Why fire 42 queries when you are fetching identical data in six time periods? You can do the same with a maximum of 7 queries and probably fewer. If you want help sorting out speeding this up you should provide the...
