    Immediately updating totals calculated from subform/query

    The record (I believe) is added to the database after it is saved. Prior to the calculation of the totals, you need to do a save DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord

    database connection - noob question

    The key words to search for (in google) are dynamic web pages. ASP and ASP.NET seem to be the popular solution. I wonder if PHP is an option?

    Error when closing database

    When closing an access database, I get the following error message: "There was a problem sending the command to a program" We recently had our server changed over. Is this an access problem, or their problem?

    Ordering a DISTINCT query of dates?

    I am not sure if this helps, but I think you can only do an ORDER BY on fields you have selected. I cant really remember, but use the key word AS. Something like: SELECT DISTINCT (Format([Month],"mmm yyyy") AS month) FROM Table ORDER BY month; Soory I cant be more helpful

    Reports and Sub reports question

    I want a report that has 4 different sub reports. Each Subreport will have a total. Then on the main report, I want the total of all sub reports. Is there a way I can get at each subreport total, or should I code it or include the totals in the main table?

    autoincrement

    I am pretty sure there is no way. I read on the Microsoft site somewhere a solution that was a messy solution that they didnt back entirely. I guess one way would be to do your own auto number system using visual basic coding, and adjust the numbers with some sort of a loop as needed.

    ASP - What's the point?

    1/ The manager doesnt understand front end back end. He also sees terms like a 'web page' as a buzz word. You know the feeling you get when you have your very own web page and you say to everybody 'Hey guys, I have a web page!'. Its that kind of mentality. For reasons far too difficult for me...

    ASP - What's the point?

    Yes, it is a learning curve. Its like, OK, Ive created this database in access, now how to I make it work on the web. Look and feel. I dont want to compromise all the things Pat mentioned above simply because of look and feel. Its kinda a buzz word. They throw around terms without...

    ASP - What's the point?

    Yes, this is an ASP question, but it is also an access question. I have finished a database, but it is more of an application. It is heavily reliant on visual basic and controls. I am happy with it, The manager thinks it should be a web page (??) I know ASP can interact with Access and be a...
