I may have bit off more then I can chew on this one but I am getting really close to having something that is usable. Here is my question: I have a form names Contract Search where I have implemented The "Cool Search Tool" from this post...

Perfect! Thanks! Any ideas on my other issues?

This works but the only bad thing is it seems to grey out the text box when using the form. Anyway to reverse this?

This seems to take the usablility of the search function out and I cant click to view anythinything anymore.

Permanent lock...just dont want people people to be copying info out into something else and accidently deleting the data. Edits will be made through another form.

Considering this is my first attempt with a database I think I am coming along pretty well. I added the "Cool Search Tool" and after about 20 hours of playing with it I think I got it working. There is a few things I want to do that I cant seem to figure out though. Locking the Form: Not so...

First off, thanks for all the great help so for! Wouldn't be near as far as I am with the database I am trying to make for work without help from everyone here. I have run into another problem and have a few questions I was hoping yall could help with. Here the situation: I have created most...

Well so far all I have learned is that I have absolutely no clue what I am doing. Working on learning some VB scripting and hopefully that will get me a little closer to putting everything together.

Okay well with alot of reading, file backups and messing with things...I am no closer to figuring this thing out. I did figure out that is has to do with VB script (I think?). It seems the script might have something to do with queries as well but I am still having trouble figuring out how it...

Since I am new to just about everything that has to do with Access I have been doing my best to learn as much as I can from others peoples templates and posted databases. I have created some pretty decent Forms (IMO) by playing with the wizards and premade controls. I am having some problems...

After reading the information that Wazz posted to me in another post I found the following little snippet: EXCEPTION: Adhering to the third normal form, while theoretically desirable, is not always practical. If you have a Customers table and you want to eliminate all possible interfield...

Wazz mentioned normalization in my previous post: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=176093 I read up but for a novice, some of it doesnt seem to be practical. First and second normal form seem to make sense and I have been following that without even knowing. From...

Yea, sorry about the spelling. I will be sure to spell check my posts in the future. Nate is short for Nathan or Nathaniel. Pretty common name as far as I know. Thanks for the welcome everyone. I spent about 4 hours staring at Access last night and am more determined than ever to get this...

Thanks for the help! I was playing around with the Northwind example that came with Access 2007 and they had some interesting ways for displaying data. Looks like I got alot of research ahead of me. Curiosity, it terms of design, is the Northwind example fairly extensive or with some time...
