    Combo Box on form with Product Name instead of ID

    Hi all, Just gettin back to some Access after a looooong break and there is something bugging me. I know I was able to do it before but can't for the life of me remember how. I have a form for entering a new Products for a particular supplier. Naturally I have a tblProduct and tblSupplier...

    Capacity Planning Database

    ggreg, I think what you suggested allowed for nulls in that if you allow 12 fields for layers, that allows 12 layers of activities or sub assemblies.....but if a user only has a requirement for 5 layers the last 7 fields are empty. Maybe I've mixed up your message. What I'm toying with at the...

    Capacity Planning Database

    Thanks for your responses guys, but I'm still stuck. ggreg, I had initially thought of doing something similar to what you suggested but it wouldn't suit because what we have to develop is a generic tool and not everyone who would be using the tool would have the same number of parent-child...

    queries on web pages?!

    Answer = ASP. You need to put your parameter boxes on the webpage as text boxes or combo boxes.....or whatever. Then the query goes in ASP before the <html> tag at the top of your page. Point to note: ASP tags are required whenever you are using ASP (strangely enough!!) They are <% "ASP Text" %>

    Photos

    I have to create a database (basically) to index photos.....i.e. a photo album. It is a fairly simple database in that all that is required is the date of the photo where it was taken etc. But the problem is the photo itself. How should I go about keeping the Photos in the database. Is there a...

    User selected date range appear on report?

    The start and end dates are obviously in the query. When you build the report from the query the easiest way (not necessarily the best) is to use the wizard. Add the fields to the report, in the detail section if necessary. Then in design view move them to the header so that it will appear only...

    User entered criteria for reports

    Write a parameter query which will enable the user to select the dates you require. Base your report on this.

    Never Done a report b4!

    Build the body of your report with the wizard. You can do that such that all that is missing is the name and address? You obviously have a form where you enter the name and address. So in the header of the report put in what ever amount of text boxes you need and have them pull their values from...

    Never Done a report b4!

    A report is what you want alright. Take it from me, the built in Report Wizard is a legend for making reports. I use it to build the basic shape of almost all my reports. It is easy to change/add any aspects you want after that.

    Cool way to have a Hello Message. (Remember Calculus?)

    Some people (namely Messers Umlas and Ostranders) have way too much time on their hands. How long did it take to do that??? And with Polynomials as well! *shuddering at the thought of polynomials*

    Help on Input Mask

    Is it always P/2222/1234F which is entered or is that subject to change? If so why not just set that to the default value for the text box and set the text box visible property to no. Or if it changes and that is the format i.e. "text"/"text"/"text" in the Validation Rule for the text box...
