    Joining on Calculated Field - Is This a Problem?

    How are you using this data? .. In a Report? ... Side note ... spaces are not really good characters to use in field names, also, "Date" is a reserved word is not such a good choice for a field name. Consider the "_" in place of a space, and when you have a data value you wish to record, use...

    Joining on Calculated Field - Is This a Problem?

    The query seems to be over complicating the mechanism for acheiving the final result desired. It seems that the goal is to find all the records in tbl1 that meet the following criteria: [Prop ID] does not have an "o" at the end {INNER JOIN between [PROP ID] and [PropIDbx14]} And [Inspection...

    >> I think you might be surprised << Maybe (and I hope I am). But ... (to paraphrase a friend! .. ROFL) ... I didn't see you at the 2008 Summit, so you missed the stuff I would be talking about ... so the depths of the vision discussed in '08 may have gone farther than you think ... ROFL! ...

    >> Dim rs2 As Recordset << rs2 is probably being typed as an ADO recordset (Check your references and if ADO is above DAO, the ADO will get the priority) ... So ... explicitly declare your object variable like this: Dim rs2 As DAO.Recordset Then you are telling Access exactly which...

    OVERFLOW during calculations

    What a decent size frontend application?

    In theory, the only limit is the 2Gig limit that Access has. But, to me that would be too big simply because it is cumbersome to distribute and performance would probably be pretty slow with a FE that grew to that size. But as to say 10meg is too large, or 50meg is too large is too black &...

    Self Joins: Query Window Versus Relationships Window

    One small clarification ... when Banana used the term "Relationship" ... it really should be "Relationship With Referential Integrity". A "Relationship" by it self, pretty much just tells Access how to "AutoJOIN" two tables when they are brought into the Query Designer ... Many times a...

    ADO problem when database is open

    My thoughts/clarification ... >> 1. When you "open" an Access file, Access creates a connection to the data through JET. << Expanding and Clarifying: JET has 255 "connections" to hand out. So if you connect to the data via an ADO connection in Outlook, JET gives one connection spot to the...

    ADO problem when database is open

    >> I'm not sure how to phrase this, but does that limit assume that the connections are remote << One thing to realize ... Access is a user interface to a JET database file ... so "Access" is really NOT a database .. its a database manipulation application, and the database Engine defaults to...

    Show multiple attributes and records in one textbox

    Close up gaps in Reports due to 'empty' fields

    Also, make you you set the CanShrink/CanGrow properties of the text box contols to Yes. Also do that for the section of the Report that contains those controls. But, one thing to note, a Label control does not have CanGrow/CanShrink properties, but when a label goes hidden, most of the time...
