Thank you once again David - seems to have worked a treat

Hi, I have a query with 3 fields (RecordDate/Site/ComplaintType) I have added Criteria in the RecordDate field to select a date range & I have added Criteria in the Site field to select the site. What I am looking for this query to return is a subtotal of each complaint type recorded at the...

Hien Muoi- Thanks for pointing out my error in spacing! This seems to be my constant failing when it comes to code- It has taken me a further 20mins to realise that I need another " " to code correctly! My final code = Shell ("net send" & " " & "mycomputername" & " " & "mymsg") Works...

What I'm attempting at the moment is on the on click event: Shell ("net send" & "mycomputername" & "" & "mymessage") This brings up the command prompt tab for a split second but then it disappears again before i can check to see if there are any errors & the msgbox does not appear on screen...

The user sending the message will have access open when the message is sent at all times- I am hoping to tie this in to an 'on click' event from a command button. The user recieving the message may not have access open- this was my thinking behind using the command prompt messenger- that the...

Gemma-The users are all on a small network but do not want to use MS Outlook, what I'm trying to do is spread information around using the net send command on the command prompt messenger-so for example user 1 enters a record and clicks on a command button & a pop up box will appear on user 2's...

My 1st db split-Help needed please I have just finished my first ever database and will be installing it onto the companies computer network soon (hopefully), There are a number of users at various work stations who will need simultaneous access to this db- I have done some background reading...

Thanks again this also now works superbly! I very much appreciate your time to help a newbie.

Hi pbaldy, On the first issue many thanks, that's worked exactly how i'd hoped. On the second issue-you are right in your assumption that I'm using a combo box. So from the records table design- for the customer field I have used a lookup wizard, selected my customers table & used customer...

Hi all, I have a form for entering record information into a table- within this form there are 2 fields (that correspond to 2 fields within the underlying table) that I would like to auto populate with information to save the user having to manually type this in every time they enter a new...

Thank you- I put that line in at the start of the code and it appears to prevent the Write Conflict message box appearing!

Hi all, I have 3 forms Entry/Analysis/Follow Up, these let users add info into records held in 1 table- Active Complaint. The entry form has a command button that opens the analysis form & the analysis form has a command button to open the follow up form- however if someone goes through...

That works a treat thank you very much!
