I did check if there is a background image on the form - it seemed that there wasn't. Also, I could not find the AutoFormat dialogue box. There must have been a background picture though - I finally removed it by changing picture type from embedded to linked at which point I could choose to...

Hi I have run into an issue with a few of my forms. I had created most of the forms I need for a database in Access 2007, but I recently upgraded to Access 2010. With the new version the navigation control is available to I am making use of it. However, this means I need to change the...

Thanks Lagbolt, I will try that in the morning. As to the real world application: The form (and underlying table) is to contain temperatures and the times those temperatures were recorded. That procedure must be done up to five times for one item and there will be 8 items on the form - so it...

Hi I have been trying for a while on my own, but I have reached the point where I might need a nudge in the right direction. I have a form on which volunteers have to enter time and temperatures. There are more than 80 entry fields, so rather than having descripters near each box I would like...

The only thing I can think of that would be helpful would be to shorten the 110 characters to less, if it is not a necessary that it be that long. You can also widen the physical field on the form to accommodate the text (instead of making it long, perhaps you can make it taller if you are...

Yeah, that worked beautifully! Thanks.

Thank you everyone who has replied to Andy - I have found much help in the replies as well. Like Andy, I am new to most of what Access has to offer. I have a question regarding the runtime environment mentioned above. I too am creating a database which I would like to run stand-alone. Runtime...

Yes, it works! That should make it significantly easier to navigate the database. Thanks a million Banana! WTE

Yeah, G37Sam you're right - that's what I meant. It was a direct translation from Danish which is my mother tongue. My brother in law is Danish, which is why i knew his title only in Danish. I looked through a dictionary and found no better alternative, so I still don't know what you call it. He...

Hi! Yeah, I see what you are saying. I can add a new macro where, with the where clause I can open the form in add-mode. Then problem then is that the form in the new macro is not opened in the navigation control. When i try to edit the current macro which, I can't change the where clause...

I am having some trouble with the new navigation capabilities in 2010. When I add a form to the "form-in-form" navigation form (so that in one form you can press a tab which opens another form inside of it to enter data in) the form which is added is in edit mode. Anyone who presses that tab...

Hi everyone I am new to this forum, and I am new to access too! I am one of those people who have used MS Office since it saw its first light, but looked at Access only when I install office from time to time and think to myself: "Access what?". Then recently my brother in law - a datamatician...
