Hmmm. Don't know what's happened by I closed Access and went to lunch. Now I've opened it up again it's working with acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12xml and .xlsx extension Weird!!

Hi Ranman. I need the output to be Excel 2010 with .xlsx extension. I can use acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9 and .xls but for various reasons we need to be using 2010 with .xlsx

Hi All, I'm working with Access 2010 and am trying to use the transferspreadsheet command to output data in a query to an Excel 2010 format file. Here is the line of code: DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "q_calldetails_tmp", "c:\temp\testoutput.xlsx" It...

I've made a small step forward where I read that there is an issue with a calculated control on a main form that references a control on the sub form. This recommended that you first create the calculated total in a control in the footer of the sub form, then on the main form have a control...

Hi JHB. I've worked out the differences and got my form working as required now. Just tried to do something that I assumed would be very simple and it hasn't worked. I've had a price column to the products table and included that on the sub form. I've then added a text box to the main form so...

That's exactly what I was trying to do :) I'll have a look at exactly where the differences are. Thank you!! Cheers, David

OK, thanks. I'll have a play with that. The form was created using the form wizard so I sort of hoped it would end up giving me a form that could be fully interacted with!! Thanks, David

Hi All. Grateful for any help here. I've attached a simple database where I have two main tables - Products and Packages. A package is a selection of products. I think the database structure is correctly normalised with a link table that joins a single package ID to multiple product IDs...

Hi All, I've imported some historic user data from some spreadsheets and I have a field which is a unique PIN code for each user. This is set as the primary key on my new table. Duplicates are not allowed. It's a text field with values ranging from 0005 through to 9576. The maximum allowed...

Hi All, I've found a couple of old posts about this but nothing seems to work correctly. I've succesfully linked an Outlook Contacts database to my Access application and created a form that lists contacts. But I now want to open the Outlook Contact form with a specific contact selected. It's...

That's it!! Yes, that's working great. Thank you for your help.

Hi Spikepl 1 - I know that from a DB practice it's best not to store calculated values in the DB but for various reasons this is what I need to do. 2 - Which brings me back to where I started. I can't find an event that fires correctly to update the pupiltotalhours with the current value of...

The text field on the main form is updating. But that is only there as a method that I found to transfer the total from the sub form. But what I'm trying to do is to update the actual database field called PupilTotalHours which is in the table Pupil_Details. All I'm actually trying to do from...
