Sorted = [Membership_No] = is the table field name Not the form field name [GMembership_No], and yes, then it was type missmatch. Private Sub cmd_gmem_Click() ' Looks for any record for this MembershipNo where MembershipNo. match' If (Me.Status <> "C") And (Me.Status <> "P") Then...

Thanks Minty but that's not the problem. It is the OpenForm 'where' condition that is not working. Status is never Null and that part of the If statement is working correctly.

I have a button on form Membership with ID [Membership_No] and trying to open "frm_gmem" with ID [GMembership_No] at the current record. The preceeding If msg works as expected but if false brings up Enter Parameter Value prompt for GMembership_No Left blank or given an ID number, it still...

Finally fixed this. Original post: "I have a table MembershipList, containg the field PostCode and a form with field Code (contain AA or A). This code works: WHERE (((MembershipList.PostCode) Like ([Forms]![frm_membcode]![Code] & "*")) but returns all possible A# and AA codes." Created a pre...

Penny/Bomb finally dropped and got the corrent use of format from allenbrowne's link Thanks to all who responded.

No removing the ## turns 12/07/2016 into 30/12/1899

I have tried both of these and also yyyy/mm/dd, in all cases the mm/dd are reversed.

Presumably 'expression' would be my CStartDate, so: Format([CStartDate],"\#mm\/dd\/yyyy\#") Where do I put this?

This all looks much like a number of Google replies read and that Access SQL expects mm/dd/yyyy but I am still none the wiser as to how to Actually achieve the result of saving the date in my required format.

Ok it get now that problem is the SQL engine totally ignoring both my format prerance and regional settings - sounds like a bug to me! However, how do get my code to save a date entered as dd/mm/yyyy and save it in that format? The following code updates the table field 'Start Date' with value...

I am in UK and the computer is set correctly for my location as dd/mm/yyyy. Is there a default for the database then?

I have a strange problem with date format. The problem is that dates for day 01-12 are converted to mm/dd/yyyy on saving. Whiles dates for day 13-31 are saved in the correct format. There is a subform that allows updates to the main form. The date field on both forms has the Format specified...

Sorry found it, my error. I had not specfied the correct form. Dim stDocName As String stDocName = "frm_memnocar" The perils of copying and modifying code!

Choosing Area, through a form field, returns the pick Code: Code Area AB Aberdeen AL St. Albans B Birmingham BA Bath BB Blackburn BD Bradford The Code is then matched to the first alpha charaters in the PostCode field on the...

Tried this but gets a similar error: 2467 "The expresion you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist."
