Thanx I thank you for your suggestions and concerns

I was wondering if there is a way to have a default value in a table field which is dependant on whether there was data enterd in said field or not. For example. I do not want any blank fields on my table instead I want "N/A" in the fields that were not used. I have tried setting the "default...

Now were talkin' Great, got it, and it works. Thank you very much. I apologize for making you repeat youself. There are a lot of posts to this effect I just couldnt get it up and running. I dont know what was going on, It maybe because i was trying to open the file from source instead of saving...

Maybe I misunderstood but I have seen numerous threads that imply otherwise, GHudson posted a sample I just couldnt open it.

I would like to change the color of the actual access database background. I've done my forum searching and found many many threads explaining how to do this but i cant open any of the sample DB's. Access says the file is readonly and you need to be able to edit upon the first opening or...

I have tried searching the forum to no avail, although I know it must be on here somewhere. I wanted to know if it was possible to have suggested text in a form field. If I type in "B" I would like previous entries begining with B to come up as suggestions for the complete word. Could some one...

boo :D boo....thanks for the reply

oh sorry for not being more specific...i mean the actual form window border...I'm starting to think the only way is the actual Windows XP settings, But here's hoping :)
