Is the relationship between the parent form's table and the subform's table one-to-many, as is generally the case? If so you can simply enforce cascade deletes in the relationship, so that deleting the parent form's current record will automatically delete the referencing records in the...

To return all appointments for the day following the current date a query would be along these lines: SELECT * FROM Appointments WHERE AppointmentDate >= DATE()+1 AND AppointmentDate < DATE()+2; To return all appointments on or later than the seventh date from the current date: SELECT * FROM...

That's not the case, as can be seen in the immediate window, as of today 27th March. dtmAppointment = #2026-03-28 14:30# ? dtmAppointment >= VBA.Date+1 True The inclusion of a non-zero time of day in the appointment date/time value is irrelevant as the expression will evaluate to True for any...

Many thanks to everyone. It's been most instructive.

I get that. What I can't understand is why when the Int function is used in my function and the operand is an integer number, it returns the wrong value in this one case, but not in the other 34, whereas the CInt funtion returns the correct value. I'm confident the underlying maths is correct...

You don't seem to have noticed the word also in the OED definition. But, enough time has been wasted on this. I'm no longer monitoring this thread.

Strange. It's the Int function which is returning -248 rather than -247 when I step through the code. I would not usually use the function for simple rounding to n decimal places. I designed it originally for rounding to intervals like 0.05 or #0:15#. Try changing it to: Public Function...

Many years ago I put together the following function with the help of New York mathematician James Fortune: Public Function RoundUp(dblVal As Double, dblTo As Double) As Double Dim lngTestValue As Long Dim dblTestValue As Double Dim dblDenominator As Double dblDenominator =...

'As the OED entry shown below indicates, that's only a modern tendency, which is not supported by its etymology. I'm using it in it's original meaning, derived from the Latin fors (chance): As the replies from others here have made clear, a bookmark's pointing to the same row as it did before...

No, it's merely fortuitous, in the same way that whether it's raining or not when the hedgehog visits my garden is fortuitous.

It's not a matter of reliability. A hedgehog visits my garden from time to time. For the first nine visits it is always raining when it does so. I might therefore conclude that the hedgehog only visits my garden when it's raining. On its tenth visit it's not raining. This shows that my...

Combining three separate attributes in a single column is not good relational database design. A principle of the database relational model is that each column position in each row in a table should be atomic, i.e. it should contain only one legitimate value, of the attribute type represented...

As you haven't responded to my colleagues' replies, we don't know whether you have achieved a satisfactory solution, If not, you have three options: 1. If you set the subform control's VerticalAnchor property to Top, when you resize the parent form the subform will retain its design size and...

Exactly, but now this old dog has learnt a new trick.

None that I can think of. It's just the way I was taught to do it back in the last century.
