hi Isladogs. I've been thinking regarding what you said about attaching files to the db & I like the sound of just linking the folder on my storage where the files connected to the record reside. EG: path to folder looks like this: W:\CA Chefs\CA Temp chefs\ <chef's name> How do I create the...

Have to ask, is there any particular reason why you avoid the things you've listed. Still kinda noob level, so curiosity more than anything else. I used the link you provided and eventually got it to work. The virtually finished product looks like this

Hi, thx for that - if you have MS Access then you have the templates: file > new and then choose the template you need, which is what I've done nd manipulated to create the db I was after ( See images for the record data input). Will have a look on the site you rec to see if it can resolve the...

Hi, I posted some weeks ago about a MS template I was altering/tailoring. That work is pretty much done, however... I have yet to find a decent search facility (using YouTube guides). The macro will only let you search 4 or so fields, yet the search facility on the 'Contacts' template on...

hi Everybody (Trying not to sound too much like Dr Nick from the Simpsons) I have been using one of the templates that come with MS Access 2016 (Contacts template), I have tweaked it a little bit but nothing major. What little Access skills I have, I have from YouTube - mainly. So I'm at a very...

Cheers, on it. Hopefully the Admin or Mod will move if posted in the wrong place.

Cheers Adam, I have a question but unsure where to post. Am trying to pick up how Access works as I go through my working day (more of user than a programmer tbh). In one of the standard contact templates, there is a map button which takes the address & opens Bing maps with that location. I...

hi everybody. I've finally found the joys of MS Access, I say joys as that only happens when it works - other than that it is the hardest piece of software I've ever used. I've taken the templates from MS themselves and manipulated them to do what I want, but my business has now outgrown them...
