Have been searching a while on this and other forums for a solution to this problem: I have a report that shows 79 rows of ranked data, only it all appears in the GroupFooter section. (Got rid of the Detail Section, for various reasons). I've been exploring forums to try and find a way and/or...

Thanks Pat, good advice. How would you place the code into each control's lost focus event? I'm not familiar with the lost focus event.

ssteinke, Thanks a TON!! That last link did the trick. I had to modify the code considerably, but it worked like a charm after that, with the ADDED BONUS of me expanding my knowledge of VB and Access. Again, Many Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! :D Here's how I modified it for...

SST, Thanks for pointing me to the message that has me on the right path. I copied and pasted the code, inserted it in the right place, changed the names of the fields to mine, saved and tried it out. However, the message box popped up, for the field that DID have text in it, not the field that...

Thanks, It certainly might, HOWEVER, I just don't know VB, so I'm not sure. I'm still learning. It "looks" like it should work..... I paste the code, and fill in the proper textbox names and see what happens. Where would I paste this code? I mean I can't just choose one of the required fields...

Creating a query in Design View, how does one create a query in the "Condition" field that tells the Access to return the record set where the contents of one column is greater than the other? Table Name=SURVEY_RAW_DATA Column Name=TOTAL_EXP Column Name=TOTAL_NX There are obviously many more...

Yes I do. thanks!

Thanks Len, I'll give it a shot.

Yes, I think a PDF might work......how would I do that?

I've already tried the export to rich text, unfortunatley, it loses all the formatting from the Access report, in is very labor intensive for making the report look good again. Some of these reports are 22 pages long, and each page in MS Word has to be re-formatted. Thanks anyway for the...

Thanks Thanks Len, I'll give that a try and see how the quality looks. I'm also thinking of acquiring and using "Snag-It" to grab screen shots.

Thanks Andrew The last suggestion did the trick, the one with changes the picture property to (none). I hope MS realises that one option in the Auto Format dialog should be "None" Many thanks & Cheers, Ken

Am I missing something here, or is it impossible to remove the auto formatting on a form, like the "blueprint", "sumi painting" etc.?? I can't seem to just change the background to a solid color. How does one do this? Thanks in advance. P.S. I may just be thick, it's probably something...
