    If a moon of Jupiter support life - should we introduce new life for Earth travelers?

    Using it as a refueling station though, that might be possible with a robot. Water is a quite useful resource for oxygen and fuel. The amount of fuel you can save by refueling out there is staggering.

    If a moon of Jupiter support life - should we introduce new life for Earth travelers?

    It really depends. How many new species of fish and other marine life is discovered on earth every year? How long will it take to be sure there are not other lifeforms there already? We are pretty good at surviving here but on Europa we would die due to the radiation. It might not be the best...

    Tables to feed into main table

    I would use the two tables you mention from ebay and paypal as the place where I import data. For my own use I would strip out those fields I need from both tables and have them in a single table. As pbaldy said, this would contain an indication of whether it is an ebay or paypal transaction. A...

    Output query to excel multiple times

    How about using this method? I had it in function for exporting the various things I needed to a data sheet in an excel file. I could then run the few calculations needed in excel from that. The majority of the calculations were done outside excel. Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim ApXL As...

    Month question

    Having run into similar trouble as CJ_London is describing, I have taken to always displaying dates in a manner that will never be mistaken. In your case, I would display Aug 2016 or Aug 16. That way it is very easy to see if you have entered something wrong or it is behaving in an odd manner...

    Combine MS queries

    You can set all three fields in the same query if they are in the same table. When you are in the query editor, simply add the fields to your query and set their new value.

    Creating a website

    Google has a free website service you can use. I am sure there are other places that have a similar service you can use. If you have your own webiste, there is a chance that your hosting company will have a webiste template you can use. Some of them have a one-click setup. Otherwise you can use...

    Query large sql server linked table from MS Access

    Have a look at stored procedures and views? That way the calculation, filtering etc. is done on the server and you only get the result back. Generally the server is better equipped to do the calculations and filtering anyway so it should save you a lot of time.

    Word Reports as template

    Depending on how you build your word template it can be done somewhat easily but it might be easier to use the reports in Access with their limitations.

    Access 2010 & Alpha-Numeric Issue

    Doing that will ensure you have a unique number. The number may or may not be sequential and can be both positive and negative. I would certainly use the autonumber but only as a reference internally in the database. To have something that can be referenced by a human I would create my own...

    Hair is coming out (VBA HELP)

    one way to get around a field not existing in the tbale is to use the normal import function in access to import the csv file once. Let it create a new table for you. this ensures it names the fields in the correct manner. Delete the contents of the table and you have a template for the import...

    Insert data from access into a word template but multiple fields

    To me it looks like you are doing some text insertion. If so, consider concatenating it in access instead of inserting each line seperately. That way you may get away with just doing a single insert. The actual inserting can be done by using either a text form field, table or bookmark. I have...

    Question on large data table design

    Have a look at a star diagram type database. You would purposely de-normalise the database in an effort to make speed the priority. This is a pretty specialised database design so it is completely unsuitable for the normal transactions. The basic idea is that all data is pre-digested and...

    Question Document Filing System and authorise before publishing (noob question)

    I believe it is posisble to do this but you need to set up something to run a few things. Adding a new document is fairly easy. When you do this, include a timestamp for when it was done or it is ready for approval. Have a field for when it was sent for approval and one for when it was...

Example: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\MSACCESS.EXE" "Path to your file" /decompile Save the above in a .bat file and see it if helps.

    Records overwritten instead of saved as new

    Why not combine your current method with another button that will carry over all of the variable data from the form to a new record? That way there will be a way to make a record for each occasion without typing in everything if there is only a small change as well as a way to get a new record...
