Thank you, Gasman !!! EdK

Thanks a million, arnelgp, that works perfectly !!!! Is there some button on the forum that I can click to show my appreciation? EdK

Thanks arnelgp. I take your point. In my case, it (being able to quickly highlight the red word from various spots in my database and/or book records, from the print preview screen view, whilst eg editing by hand a separate hard copy) will mostly be what I'm doing. And that won't affect the...

Hi CJ London to short circuit things (I am confused due to Access inexperience, and age - coming 81 yrs) would you be able to show me what the whole exact expression would be, please. ie (and this is luddite of me) I don't really want to understand why etc, I just want to put an expression...

This should be simple in theory and I am half way there (I think) but just can't crack it I will show various pics to help make it clear The basic elements I think I have got right, but I need to know the exact syntax (in context with the whole query expression) for making the found word look...

Update: It's all fixed now. The very simple solution was for me to create a tabbed control for the input field (called Booktext2) on my Booktext Form - input behaviour of cursor position is now perfect. Wish I'd thought of this years ago. Previous to this fix, the setup I had was to just have...

Hi arnelgp I think the answer lies somewhere in using a gotopage macro in a tab on a form (as per MS Access 2007 Help topic GoToPage Macro Action where it describes what Action Argument for Down actually is/does - Quote: "The vertical position of the spot on the page, measured from the top edge...

Problem: The RTF field shows on screen at about 3/4 the vertical screen height. When the amount of text input to the field so far, exceeds the fields physical vertical display dimension, the cursor and new line goes out of sight, downwards. So then I can't see what is being input and cannot...

Hi DB Guy actually, I got around the problem the clumsy way, which was to totally delete the transaction. This is OK for my purposes, although it doesn't leave an "audit trail" in the data base, but I keep a printed out record of what the budget report info was before then .... NFA & thanks...

That's brilliant and it works to show blank space instead of the annoying zero. However it doesn't hide the corresponding text field entry (see attached budget report). So, what is the expression to hide the receipt type label or the payment type label when its budget figure totals zero? And...

Ah, no free lunch. That figures .... Hey, are you saying that AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a forlorn hope_fear? I love the succinct phrases you use. Just for the record, I came across this site - https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/concepts/indexing#id_40941 Those guys haven't given up...

Thanks again, MajP - I've printed off your list and will investigate. I wish you best results in your coding development EdK

MajP - I had a quick look at RAKE, it is intriguing, trying to extract sense/meaning out of "found word" combinations, by means of algorhythms or similar. The example given seems to work satisfactorily but the proof will be in the practical end result. I wish you well in applying RAKE to...

Hi MajP I'll go with Index Generator for the time being. I've donated a bit to the makers of it. It looks easy to use and somewhat intuitive. It'll do me. thank you muchly for bringing it to attention. It does have one feature that enables easy groupings of user-selected words and...
