    The following is a query string I want to build in code (I think) to return specific records at runtime. I have knocked up a sample to get it to work first in the query window, however, every time I try and run it the query is telling me I need the keyword Exists. I have looked at my books and...

    calculations in a report

    I think you could add a field like Iif([CompanyName]="Company Name I dont Want","",[CompanyName]) This would replace the company name I didn't want with an empty string. HTH

    String Manipulation For List??

    list box driving filter..

    I don't use filters prefering SQL instead, however, I think your approach is flawed. To filter move through your list box first, finding all selected regions and add them to a string. Use this string as your filter source and I imagine you will be fine.

    Transactions in Access

    I haven't used transactions yet. However, I can comment based on experience in other areas. You must commit your append first. Even though you have committed your append most probably the DSum will still not include your most recent addition. I had to use movelast to retrieve the value just...
