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...

MajP - been occupied with "other stuff", sorry for delay in replying. You've been very helpful, thank you. Now, I've downloaded trial version of Textract (great name for program) and am tinkering a bit with it. I'm thinking maybe I could/should use the Pro SP (Pro single project) option...

I don't know if this got sent to MajP or not so am sending this EdK

MajP -- "So maybe I can use the found words to aid in finding the real terms, but a pure list of words is of little value."- your comment. Agreed. but lets go the further step: I have a simple search routine in my MS Access database & book writer that connects any two "searched for"/"found"...

Aha! Thank you. Yes I see an envelope top rhs, as you said. Thank you I'll get there yet. What does PM stand for? EdK

Hi MajP Thanks for showing me this trick! Can I do this in about 3 hours time as I am looking after my grandkids right now and about to have dinner with them, hope that's OK, I'm really looking forward to the session (hopefully it won't be too late for you by then?) otherwise can we make it...
