    Aside from Access/Excel etc are you into electronic technology

    I don't have an Ipod or other music player. My home stereo is a 30 year old Nachamichi and I prefer the sound and ambience of vinyl. I think my car radio works, or at least it did 3 years ago. I have a cell phone and I know how to make a call with it, which I've done 5 times so far in a year...

    Best way to do this?

    At some point, you will need to archive old bookings off to another table/database; so make sure you have a date/timestamp of last activity or status change.

    You can't exit ms access now

    What boblarson said. Print is an external OLE/DDE function and macros don't handle them well. Besides, even if it did work, odds are good it won't with the next upgrade.

    That seemed kind of odd to me.

    Executing code from within a macro?

    I'm not very good with macros, as you can probably guess. My import macro works fine, but I can't get it to run a VB sub very well. I tried an "Open Module" action in the macro, but it pops up the VB window so I can run the sub procedure manually. It works, but it's not too impressive to show...

    How to avoid an error deleting a table that doesn't exist?

    I have a macro that imports some files and massages data. It works fine except for a couple things. The possibility exists that the data being imported will contain some crap that will cause an import error table to be created. I don't care about the table, so I have a "delete object" action for...

    Access 2007 table view problem

    When I create a database in Access 2007, the table view is in full screen mode and I can't change it to windowed mode. I can't find a way to view two tables side by side.

    Why are so few on this site...self employed

    I tried the self-employment IT consulting route for several years. I earned a decent income, but on an hourly basis I could have done nearly as well working at MacDonalds. The problem is if you are selling, you aren't billing and if you are billing, you aren't selling. So, you need to work a ton...

    Error Message: " is not valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid char

    Re: Error Message: " is not valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid I get the same error just by selecting the table name; I don't even get as far as selecting a field.
