As nobody is prepared to respond to my latest request, I will bid you all farewell, and thank you for your help in my previous requests. I have had a very good result from an old university colleague. Thank you and goodbye Terence

The GoSub problem Hello All Thanks to all your help I have now completed a beta version of a very basic School Management Database designed for Africa below the Sahara. However as usual, errors have occurred. I have asked friends to use it for and to continually load Forms to discover any...

Class names and the problems they cause Hello All I have come to the conclusion that I cannot provide personal service regarding class updates. I have worked in about 20 schools and colleges in Africa during my 50 year teaching career, and every one of them had distinctive methods for class...

My Update Problem Many thanks for your reply. Here is my problem. The school in question is run by a friend of mine. Her background is PE and she is not keen on technology. My problem is that my coding is not up to scratch any more after a twenty year lapse. In order for her to update classes...

Hello All A problem has arisen that I had not thought about . It is in regard to class names. In my own program I have used the standard 1A, 2B, 2C etc. Unfortunately for me, there is a school in a remote part of Kenya that is using my program, where the teacher is using Swahili for her class...

Hello Colin I can assure that my background is very different being head and principal, but in very different circumstances. I had to witness two students being executed in Uganda during the Idi Amin days, as well as dealing with malaria, snake bite and yes kidnapping. I would not exchange this...

Hello Colin ??? Forgive the lapse in Windows. It's been a long time since I dealt with such problems. I am very impressed with your DB program, but I can't believe that the target audience is a teacher on the chalk face. The data presentation looks like it is prepared for the deputy head or some...

Hello My Access 2007 is a 32 bit version. Why can I not run your demo? Terence

Hello I have just installed WOW64, which is a Windows 32bit emulator. For some reason I cannot find your demo. Would you kindly send it to me again so that I can check it out on the emulator? If that is possible. Terence

Hello Again I must admit this one is giving my problems. The Combined Science field is a text field and can occur randomly when the teacher selects the GCSE subjects. So how do assign any kind of variable to the text field to add one? Sorry about this, I'm sure you don't want such nonsense on...

Hello isladogs What would have done without your help? Regards Terence

Hello isladogs My apologies. I have a number of developmental copies of my database, and I used a class with only student in it. Otherwise it works fine. Thank you so much. I am at the present to work out how to award two 9s for Combined Science. Under the new GCSE 9 to 1 guidelines, any student...

Hello isladogs Thanks for the reply. I am still updating only one student. What am I doing wrong? Sorry to be such a bore here, but most of the skills I had 20 years ago seem to be disappearing. Terence

Update problem Hello isladogs Sorry about that. I was so engrossed in the GCSE problem I had forgotten. Tried to run your SDA sample and received an error message, which I am uploading to you. Terence

Hello DBGuy It was down to experts like yourself that this was sorted out. I do however have one remaining problem that I have never been able to sort out. I have a school in Uganda using the database. I have now updated their database to include the new features. This is a boarding school has...

Hello All For some reason only three PNGs were uploaded. So I am sending you three more Menus, these are: The Setup Menu The Class Data Entry. From 1 to one hundred classes can be entered here. The Subjects Data Entry. As many subjects as the school can handle can be entered here. This allows...

Hello All Finally achieved through the help of all of you, the data that I want to project. First, please see the form Student Edit Data. In answer to the question concerning infinite number of classes, there are 40 classes available. Teachers who have working in boarding schools will be aware...

Hello Pat There are an infinite number of class. The classes you might have seen are those that have been selected. I have a Form where all the classes are entered. In this case 40 classes for 1,500 students. There are an infinite number of subjects as well, the subjects you may have seen are...

Gentleman, my apologies I have not made myself clear on my wish for help regarding a count and average on part of my school database. I am sending four screenshots that will identify my problem much clearer. In short, there can be either a 9, or 8, or 7, or 6, or 5, or 4, or 3, or 2, or 1, or...

In reply to the DBGuy I had written this DB over 20 years ago when we had "O" Levels. Now we have the new 9:1 score system. So I have converted the old system into the new system. There is no requirement to provide an average of the 9:1 scores. For me it is an after thought and it would make a...
