    Afterupdate with no update.

    Have you ever been pressured into building something with a bad design?

    much the same in the UK. Pretty sure there is also a flag raised if you withdraw large amounts of cash - not sure what the level is but would guess £10k

He though he was onto a winner until I pointed out to him that...

    What pc hardware/software to speed up Microsoft Access?

    Suspect it is a problem with the forum presentation - It looked fine when I copy/pasted from the browser. I'm not prepared to spend more time on this. Suggest do what I did - copy paste the OP's questions to your browser.

    Have you ever been pressured into building something with a bad design?

    Been asked - yes, pursuaded - no Last one a couple of years ago was for a theatre company - an employee had built it using only macros and no documentation. And data wasn’t properly normalised. It handled show bookings and some elements of production and staffing rotas. They wanted to license...

    Full rebuild; migrating old tables and lots of other fun stuff. General pointers requested.

    about 20 years ago I was involved in migrating an access system for calculation of sales commission for around 600 sales people. It used to take about 1 1/2 hours to create 600 reports and email them to each person with copies to managers. The new boy on the block decided that access was not a...

    Label not showing on subform if value is 0

    can't say I agree with all those comments Why "1" is better: Faster - Access doesn't need to resolve field names No field name conflicts - Won't break if you rename/delete fields Clearer intent - You're just counting records, not referencing actual data Performance comparison: you don't do...

    Secure Storage Model for Microsoft Access: Stream-Based Encrypted Data Architecture(for discussion)

    So usual reasons for moving to sql server BE, nothing new. Now if only IT could actually support the typical rapid changes required to meet strategic initiatives, particularly when only 5 or 6 users out of say 500 users require the functionality. As it is with companies that have low data...

    Label not showing on subform if value is 0

    dcount will return the number of lines in the query. If the query already has the criteria '"received" = False' then you just need DCount("*", "TotalOpenPOQuery")

    Full rebuild; migrating old tables and lots of other fun stuff. General pointers requested.

    What I have done in the past when migrating data from one system to another is to create a migration document. This lists all the tables and fields in the new system together with all datatypes and constraints. Sometimes with performance criteria as well. The old system tables and fields are...

    Label not showing on subform if value is 0

    usually means you have a spelling issue so first check names - TotalOpenPOQuery and OrderID - and is orderID on your main form? try using Me.OrderID to verify and try using "*" rather than "1" in the dcount function
