Aha... These once upon a time were hyperlinks. So hyperlinks brought up as strings have #'s? Thanks

I don't think you could describe it as looking like a date... It's a file path, so it's something like "Y:\00 Business\Client Name". It's clearly a string (and the field type is short text). Can't insert a date into the table right now to test, but what would that tell me? For the minute, I've...

Hi... I've got a string (a file path) which I call up using a Dlookup. It all works fine, except there's a "#" on either side. This seems to only happen sometimes. It's definitely not there when you view the database directly. I've also compacted and repaired the backend. Any ideas/experience...

This is solved now, thanks to Ranman256. I've edited my previous post to clarify this. arnelgp: No, only one client per project. Its the other way round: I'm finding the number of clients we've done projects for (to see e.g. we're doing 10 projects, but only for 2 clients). Thanks for the...

Hmmm... Apologies for not clarifying this earlier, but I use this subform multiple times on a single parent form (so you can see data over the last 8 quarters). Which means that each subform appearance has its own query. So I can't filter the DISTINCT query to be the correct quarter and year, as...

Hi, I've got a subform I made for calculating KPIs. Essentially, the parent has the quarter and year input, and links to the child. The query is fairly straightforward: SELECT Projects.*, DatePart("q",[Completed_date]) AS Qtr, Year([Completed_date]) AS Yr FROM Projects WHERE...

But I specifically want to display that aggregate cost on the parent. So, even if it were a calculated value, I'd still have to send a number or requery command to the parent, wouldn't I? Also, no. Although I would prefer to limit what the user can do, I've been specifically asked not to. If...

Ok... So does the child recordset have access to all the fields in the parent recordset? The parent holds the overall cost (part of tblProject, say), while tblCosts includes the itemised costs. The parent just queries tblProject.* on Project_id (single record) while the children query...

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean (entirely possible!), AND/OR is expressed as OR. As for your overall question, you could write some VBA to go through your multiple textboxes, and build the query up. So if there is something in each box, its filter gets added to the string.

No, you can use values of other fields. You need to choose the "expression is..." option. Then define the logic, e.g. [ChkBox] = True OR [OtherFld] = False.

I have a Parent form with some continuous Child subforms. These forms allow additions, edits, and deletions. When the user enters data into certain fields, AfterUpdate fires some VBA to do some maths, and populate some fields in the Parent form. When you go back and edit one of these fields in...

Thanks for the input. It got me thinking... Tried: SELECT ID, FullName FROM tblUsers WHERE (tblUsers.Active = Yes OR tblUsers.ID = [Forms]![DocFrm]![UserID]); But for some reason it would pop up a box asking for the user id. So I wrote an OnCurrent sub to capture the Form's user ID, and write...

I have a ComboBox where user is selected. However, this is filtered down to only include active members of staff. What I'm trying to do is set the Row Source for this ComboBox to display the staff name, even if they're not active. So, I currently have: SELECT ID, FullName FROM tblUsers WHERE...

Have you set the TempVar as the default value for the ComboBox?

Thanks, both. Am I correct with the LEFT and INNER joins? tblA is a single record, the others are multiple.
