    Exporting tables from non-current database

    Some users don't have MS Access. Others would simply prefer to see / manipulate the data using non-access programs. Text backups are significantly smaller than a database duplicate. There's a number of reasons, the simplest being...shit rolls down hill.

    Send email from Access

    You should normalize your attachfile fields. I think something like this might work. for i = 0 to attachmentscount -1 'if you don't have this count, you'll need to do a fieldcount in tabledefs if i > 0 then attachfile = "attachfile" else attachfile = "attachfile" & i end if set rs =...

    Last item in a table is arbitrary - if you sort/order differently, the results may change every time. If you have an extra item meeting your criteria, why not just subtract 1 from total? Or if your id is an autoID, you could use Max() (or Not Dmax(...id))-- assuming you don't start renumbering.

    Quotation marks in a txtbox

    Primarily, it's a personal pet peeve for txt boxes which should be unrestricted as to input. Chances that an end-user would ever enter a double quotation? ...slim to none. But they should have the ability to enter it. If I wanted to have the text box unbound, is there any way to designate it...

    Reporting on 5M Rows

    Simple Union SQL query will join the two countries for analysis. Do this for as long as you can... caveat below: Access will BREAK at >2GB. Given your current description you may want to split countries into entirely different DATABASES (rather than tables). These databases can be easily...
