    Desperate for help

    Ok I got the quick search 'working' even though I have a few issues still pending. I'd love to post it but even after I zip it, it's well over 600 kb (and thats having broken it down considerably). I heard there was a way to compress it but I'm not sure how to do that. If I figure it out, I'll...

    Desperate for help

    DocMan, I just re-read your post (I read it quickly the first time). If I'm going beyond the scope of the forum with my requests, please just let me know. I'm not trying to over shoot with my expectations. I plan on making this work regardless of how long it takes me. It's one of those things...

    Desperate for help

    Richard, Thanks for the brief explanation. It explained things a little bit to me. I didn't realize the requery. Doc Man, building this input form is something I think we can evaluate and develop on the fly, but I really do appreciate your insight because it has given me reason to change a few...

    Desperate for help

    I'm hitting a deadline of Monday afternoon and I really need some assistance. I'm trying to incorporate the search.mdb sample database (I attached it for easy reference) into a project I've been working on. Unfortunately, I really don't understand how it works and need some clarification. I'm...

    Combo Box v. List Box

    Hey Fizzio I was really delving into how you did this and I have some more questions (sorry I'm a n00b) I noticed you have a tblComponents and tblUserComponents. Whats the difference? I'm trying to set up the advanced version but I'm having a hard time understanding how you set up the tables...

    Need some elaboration on LogOnExample

    Oh come on fellas, it can't be that hard. All I want to do is learn how to dim a command button so that only people who have specific privledges can access a form. Any suggestions?

    Combo Box v. List Box

    I noticed you used queries. I wasn't aware you could do that like that. May I ask how you used them (I don't understand queries very much) or maybe you can point me to a good explanation of how they work? You certainly did demonstrate precisely what I was asking for. Is it possible to create...

    Combo Box v. List Box

    doh! You're right! It's a simple cascading list box. I want to select a name in the list box on the left and have it display the training information in the list box on the right. Eventually, I want to take that a step further and be able to select a specific training item on the right to...

    Need some elaboration on LogOnExample

    I have successfully used the LogOnExample.mdb file in a database I'm using and I've been able to understand the code behind it a little bit, but I could really use some explanation on it's inner workings. Specifically, the evaluation code sets the administration button to be dimmed for those...

    Combo Box v. List Box

    Well my search for the perfect cascading combo is still in place. I've gotten a cascading combo box based on two tables to work, however I'm having a heck of a time getting cascading list boxes to work when it's based on multilpe tables. Someone suggested to me that perhaps the event procedure...

    Cascading Error

    I'm really confused now. I didn't think this was as complicated as it now appears. All I want to do is draw a list from a table in a listbox, and when an item is selected, have the corresponding data associated with that item displayed in another list box. What am I missing?

    Cascading Error

    Hey all, First, I wanted to thank whomever put these forums up. They are an unbelievable source of information. Second, it is true what is repeatedly said here, using the search function DOES work well. I am creating my first database (actually two different ones at the same time) and I ran...

    Search Form with multiple criteria

    WOW! I'm a n00b and as every good n00b should, I've been jumping around these forums finding various answers and a wealth of information before asking stupid questions (I already have asked a few). What I'd love to do more than anything is combine the multicriteriasearch and findrecord db's...
