Ignore this, figured it out, sorry folks :)

many thanks bob that seems to have rectified it :)

could you not have a check button where if pressed it allows access to an otherwise greyed out listbox from which you can select the initials? I had a similar thing in mind which so far I've not managed to do :)

yeah using the >* symbol at the bottom. I know it makes a new form, it just seems to forget to refresh the contents of the form with a blank one. Which is wierd as on my other forms, which as far as I can see are exactly the same, it does refresh it with new, blank fields. A quick glance...

Hi all, Finally got something that resembles a database built, albeit basic. So far, we've identified a couple of small problems, most of which I've been able to sort myself. However one I can't get sorted is with one of my forms. Basically, if you go through and put all the information...

oh yes, and my last question for now I promise, Is it ok not to include the ID fields on forms, or hide them (via the property settings) where they do appear? Just saves her wondering what they are and fiddling etc and me being asked questions :)

oh yeah and it's now in access 2000 format I believe, done in 2k3 but it opens ok in 2000 I'm told :)

Just when I thought I had it the wheels have fallen off so to speak... Ok basically I've hit a monumental brick wall and I'm fast running out of time on this one to the point where I'm considering offering payment to someone to do it, but as I'm poor it looks like being a stress filled day as...

great stuff, thanks again buddy.

Just a quick question, I just want to make sure before I end up having to undo loads of work, using junction tables and the like will be fine in access 2000 won't it? I'm using access 2007 and the system it's to run on when completed is 2k, and as I've not much previous experience I'm not too...

sorry for the delay in getting back on this one, work's been crazy. Finally seem to be getting somewhere with this database, done a bit of searching and reading and I'm actually starting to understand it which is nice, certainly helps. Craig and gary, massive thanks for the advice above...

hmmm for some reason it won't let me save as an older format because I'm apparantly using features of the new one. That won't work then lol. I'll rip it across to an older format now, it's rubbish anyway so it won't matter if I lose bits at this early stage :)

Thanks for that. I've taken a gander at the northwind database and currently have it open infront of me. Bear with me as I'm not clued up as you're now more than aware, but would the best approach be to get rid of the tables I've got for various aspects, (income, general info, family...

Hi all, newbie here so forgive the nature of my post, I've been searching around here all day and I'm a bit lost with a database. Basically I'm fairly new to databases and I'm sat here armed with a fairly unhelpful book throwing myself in at the deep end. Sorry for the wordy post but if anyone...
