Hello Thank you for your comments and advice, I will certainly be reading more into it. The current database works perfectly. All links and relationships are working well. My issue is that I would like a field to display the information from the field where the mouse cursor is. So whether you...

Thank you for your kind words, please see attached a copy of the relationship. Going from left to right they are one to many relationships. Yours Iain

Re: Display contents of active field Hello Thank you so much for you work with this, I can't really attached the database as it is very large and also you would need the back end data to open the front end db. I have attached 2 screen shots, the first shows Looking at screen1.jpg you can see...

Hello Thank you for that, I am not sure if I am missing something within that text but breaking down the table isn't really the problem I have. I have the relationship already set and worked out. Thanks Iain

Hello I'm trying to have a cell display the information from which ever cell the cursors is on. I am trying to use (Master Info / Child info) for a subform but would like the Master cell link to where ever the cursor is. Is this even possible? Thanks Iain

Hello, I have made an OSK and am using the code TypeAlphaNum "6". This works fine until (the cell is set to number) I want to enter a decimal point. It treats this as AlphaNumeric (there's a surprise!) but I don't know what the code would be to enter a "." into a number field. Many Thanks Iain

Hello, I suspect I am being silly in missing the special button but... I have a tab control form and when you select the next tab the screen scrolls down so that the first cell selected is at the top. But then I loose the tabs. How can I stop it doing this. :banghead: Thanks Iain

Paul Thank you, I thought that would be the case. I totally agree with your "knowledge about access until you came here" I feel the very same. Iain

Hello. I have a form which shows costings of parts. When we get a new cost for a part we update the cost but then adjust either the retail or markup. At present I have loads of cells which calc the price difference based on Current markup giving calculated new retail user defined new markup...

Actually what you said of Me.YourComboBox.Dropdown worked perfectly. When someone starts to type it auto drops down. Many Thanks Iain Also the website you recommended is really good.

Is there any way in which I can get a drop down menu to automatically drop down as the user starts type? Thanks Iain

The main problem with the datasheet is that you loose a great deal of the styling when it comes to field positioning and buttons. Thanks Iain
