Hello All, I have searched and can't seem to figure this one out. I have a form with subforms, etc. There is a field on one of the subforms which happens to be an autonumber field. I am trying to run a query that uses that field as the criteria. For right now, I'm just running the query...

Hello All. Bob - the reason the data is like this is that is how our online shopping cart program writes the order to the orders table in the SQL db. I'm just importing the data from our server's SQL db. My client is trying to automate some things on their end (in house) so I was just hoping...

Hello All, I currently have a bunch of tables that I have linked to a SQL database. For development purposes (easy of use), I'd like to turn all those tables into regular tables rather than linked so if I take the db offsite, all the data is with me. I realize there will be no updates, etc. but...

Hello All, Per the comment about the DATE field, I just made that up, my table is completely different, I was just using this as an example (I won't use it next time though, good point). Each month we add a new record. So for July, it may be July 3, 2007, and for August it might be August 5...

I currently have a query that uses the dir function. The exact field in the query is as follows: filecheck: IIf(Dir([filelocation])<>"","Y",IIf([rndate] Is Not Null,"R","N")) This has worked great over the last 2 years using Access 2000 and Access 2002. Recently I upgraded to Access 2003 and...

RPadams, This is a great testing "trick". This will help with the speed on my local computer. Thanks a bunch!! -R

Earlier in the day I posted a thread about local vs. network drive mapping. I believe this is a different question so I wanted to separate the two. Please don't think I am posting multiple threads to get more answers. I do work for a large company that has a computer running Windows 2000 (on a...

Hello All, I have read a lot on the "performance threads" but I haven't really seen anyone discuss this. We have a database that is split up FE/BE. While I am designing the application on my computer, I have all the tables linked directly to the local C drive. Everything works super fast this...

Tim, That did exactly what I wanted it to. Thank you soo much for your help. I appreciate it. Hopefully this code can come in useful for someone else. Have a great day, Randy
