You hit the nail on the head with the system.mdw file!!! I brought the "good one" home, copied it to the 2 locations it resided on my machine and everything is "backtonormal" I love it!!!! Thanks so much for responding to my ?????

Thanks for your suggestions. Here's what fixed it. I copied the system.mdw file from a machine that Access worked on and recopied it to the two locations on this machine where it resided that wasn't cooperating first renaming the original files with the extension .old. Now it is fine. Have...

I will try that. Unfortunately it won't be until late today--I'm at work now and the problem is on the computer at home. I will copy the system.mdw file from a computer here. I'm also taking the Access Cd home in case I think I need to reinstall. Do you think uninstalling and reinstalling...

I cannot even get that far. As soon as I click on "new file" or double click on a file on the desktop, I'm asked for my password. Please continue to help!!!

I've been working on forms, copied Northwind sample to my desktop to study and now every time I try to open a database, I'm prompted for a Logon password--I DID NOT EVER create one. How am I going to get around this so I can access Access? Please help!

For some reason whenever I try to open any database file or even create a new one, I get a logon box--my name is in the top part--probably because I'm running Windows 2000 and it got it from that. However, I HAVE NOT EVER put a password protect on anything. I did copy the Northwind sample...

www.ageesw.com/access.htm Try doing the tutorial from this site. I think It will help. I was referred to it by another "user" and it helped. Lois

Hi! I would suggest that you to the following site and do the combobox example--it does exactly what you want to do and once you see how that works, you can adapt it to your problem. Good Luck! It worked for me www.ageesw.com/access.htm

Sambo--that site was the one I needed. I was able to get it to work and now know that I can get my application to work!! I think many of the suggestions given me were correct. However, I didn't know exactly where to put them!!! Thank YOU!!!!

Hay-- What you said I'm trying to do is correct. Now how do I get the address to show up in the 1st table so that I can use it in the invoice? Sambo--the Me.Requery gave an error message when I keyed it in the AfterUpdateEvent.

o.k. I did that and the correct field data shows up but when I go back to the table only the 1st field (the one in the combo box) is there--not the address data. Now what?

I do not have the table linked to another table. I'm trying to create an invoice by having the name & address auto fill from an address table and then use another table to fill in the item & price. I just cannot get the dlookup to work.

I need someone(s) to help me build a combo box from scratch. I want to select a name from a combo box, have it find the address in a table, and insert it into a text box below the combo box. The table is not linked to another table. I then want that address to be the beginning of an invoice...

I'm totally frustrated. I know this is "easy" but have read and read & cannot find the answer. I want to be able to select a name from a combo box and then have the address, city state & zip code fill in automatically. All I ever get after selecting the name is the address & city-state-zip...
