    Assist requested. Providing a Query with criteria from a field on a form.

    This suggests that the missing query parameter is mistyped with regard to what you think it should be (presumably it's a reference to the form control?)

    Slow Search on Subform

    I guess we should be asking what the issue is that required you to use a subform? Is the subform linked to the main form in any way?

    Data disappearing from report.

    What happens if you simply (temporarily) comment out that code? Whilst I can't see why it would be causing a problem either, start at the simple end of the trail.

    Fill in table fields automatically from dropdown

    You shouldn't (and can't) do what you want directly in a table. Tables are for storing data, not interacting with. Stick with your form. As well as redundant data an Age field is meaningless as it is only correct at the time of data entry. Age should be calculated from the date of birth and...

    Add Working Days, excluding We & hols. Function is mixing dd/mm

    I found the best way was to actually dive in with a specific task in mind. The real secret to success with a new thing like VBA is to break it down into very small steps. So if you need to manoeuvre something around (like a time/date) do the basics in a query, use the QBE editor to select a...

    Slow Search on Subform

    By adding the wildcard to the beginning of your search string you are rendering the Index on either field useless. Do you have to search in that way? Try it by removing the first wild card and I bet it speeds up considerably.

    Spurious 'SELECT [Id] FROM [Table]'

    That's a really interesting find, thank you for posting back about it. I've only had limited use of GUID fields, so not experienced the issue.

    Solved Remove Time Stamp From Table Field

    You have spaces in your field names, which is not a good idea. Welcome to bracket city, where you get to do extra typing for lots of no extra reward... ;) Update [Outcome Master] SET [Appointment Date] = DateValue([Appointment Date])

    Solved Remove Time Stamp From Table Field

    Formatting the data does not change it, merely how you see it displayed. If you really do want to delete the time information rather than simply querying it in the right fashion to get the results you want than as @jdraw suggested you will have to run a one-time update query. Update YourTable...

    Access Running Slowly

    From your description, I would suspect a network issue, above anything else, unless something has happened to increase the number of records by a factor of 10 or more. Network traffic or more importantly a network "storm" can and will cause massive problems. Something somewhere might have ended...
