    Checking in empty table

    If all you needed was a protection against Null exceptions, it'd probably be overkill, but I find the RecordSet way a very convenient framework when tightly integrating table manipulation with actual code. Good look in your endeavours :)

    Checking in empty table

    what does the user input look like? In general, you can manipulate tables this way: 'Header: Dim DataDB As Database Dim RS_Article_Data, RS_results, RS_Control As Recordset set datadb = currentdb Set RS_results = DataDB.OpenRecordset("ABC_Results", dbOpenDynaset) Set RS_Input_Table =...

    preventing db user from printing forms

    yeah I did, it didn't. However, I found a solution: I intercepted the KeyPress event on the form and disabled CTRL-P. Also disabled Page Down and Page Up while I was at it ;)

    changing table entry while form accesses it.

    running complicated Excel commands from Access

    I was afraid it was a reference issue. That means anyone who I give the .mdb to has to set that reference as well right? Anyway around that? Thanks anyway for the huge help you guys have been so far! :)

    running complicated Excel commands from Access

    hmm, both Dim xlApp as New Excel.Application and dim xlchart as excel.chart give me an error: user defined type not defined. Am I maybe missing something else entirely, which causes all these problems?
