> The implication being: If I don't ask, you won't tell why. That's a rather snooty attitute to take, I must say. Snooty? I tell you what I am. I am Norwegian. That is listed in my profile, and has been, I think since I registered here back in 2000. Even though I didn't start with Access until...

I think perhaps one of the times Undo is available, is when the form is dirty - i e, it has unsaved changes. You could try the following test/action in stead If Me.Dirty then Me.Undo But, what do you do if the record is already saved? The acSaveNo thingie of the DoCmd.Close method, is only...

What about turning it the other way around, as long as people willingly do others homework and create whole solutions, is there any reason to expect better phrased questions showing evidence the OP has made some inquiries/searches before posting? I think the standard is set by what we (as a...

I agree, using the Range method of the sheet object makes more sense here, since that is instantiated and there's nothing else ensuring the correct sheet is used, making the Range method of the application or workbook unsuitable. I didn't see that, I focused only on the column/row thingie. I...

The Excel Range is often used as this Range("A1").Value = "something" I e, as you do in formulas in Exel, start with the column, then row. appXL.range("B" & lngStartRange).Value = rs("Dest").value

Using the CDbl function on a date/time, converts it to a numeric, where the integer part, represents the number of days since 12/31/1899, and the decimal part the hour of day, say 0.5 is noon. > No, it won't. I've written MS Access applications that I've deployed to run in US, UK and Malaysia...

Assigning CDbl(Now) for a date into a string passed to Jet will will barf several places in the world, including where I live. Allen Brownes formatting are safe, the same is ISO 8601 (yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss). Possibly Str(CDbl(Now)) would work.

Ah, yes, sorry, actually, it should be enough to enter Tools | TheProject Properties... in the VBE, then change the project name there.

Rename the database to something other than createcontrol.

Welcom to the forum. To delete a database, or change it's name, use Windows Explorer, and delete or rename the file.

Why do you wish to empty variables? There is really no point in doing so, unless you want to stuff something else into them. The two first, are also meaningless. Assigning "" to a variable of type currency will give run time error 13 - Type Mismatch. The IsNull function is a function to...

The error you're receiving, doesn't seem to come from the SQL statement you've posted. One tip is to use the following after assigning the SQL string to a variable, but before executing it: Debug.Print str_SQL1 Then you can pick up/study the resulting SQL in the immediate pane (ctrl+g). If...

Be careful with your declarations. Str is a function, and therefore shouldn't be used as variable name. Dim TheControlName as string Dim ctl as Access.Control TheControlName = "lblMyLabel" set ctl = me.controls(TheControlName) ctl.caption = "whatever" set ctl = nothing

The reason why the original statement didn't work as expected, is that through the Format statement, you converted two valid dates to strings, then you compared those two strings (mm/dd/yyyy) -> "12/01/2007" > "01/11/2008" If the Itm_Date_of_Shipment is a variable of datatype Date/Time, then...

Sqlstr = "INSERT INTO ComputerName (ComputerName, DateField, NumberField) " & _ "VALUES ('" & ComputerName & "', #" & _ Format(SomeDate, "yyyy-mm-dd") & "#, " & SomeNumber & ")"You need to kind of build it like an SQL string looks in the query builders SQL view. Hint, use...
