    result from a query to specify string to use

    The reason for not wanting to store the values is purely as I didn't need to store any data as I am writing a textfile and once that is written I am done so everything was in memory, and it keeps things simple and quick.

    result from a query to specify string to use

    Sorry for any confusion. Yes there is only 1 backup option per customer, and no the backup option could be the same for multiple customers. I have looked at the dlookup examples you have given me and incorporated that into my function and this works as expected as it does return the correct...

    result from a query to specify string to use

    Thank you to you both. I am indeed using this value in code. But the value I seek is not in the table but is in the code. I am reading through some text files and storing data in strings and if a string is empty then I am wanting to use a backup string for the data. But the backup string I use...

    result from a query to specify string to use

    I have a query that returns the string to use but I am not sure how I can actually use the returned value to do what I want. e.g. my table: Partner ID Backup Field 5023949 UPC 501354 GTIN my query will return 1 [backup field] value from the table above, and I then want to use that value to...

    Is this form layout possible any easier?

    i have created a small db that shows the status of a user (if they are in the office or not for the receptionist) but the way i have created the form is very very long winded using 60 queries at least and lots of messing about. see here for the db -...
