    Clear out data

    Feel free to build one. This task is not sufficiently generic enough that you are likely to find an example. The concept is flawed also since it relies on the user knowing ahead of time what is sensitive and marking it so and since you have hundreds of tables and corresponding forms, you have...

    Field to enter ONLY time.

    That is because the date/time data type is a "point in time". It is useful for entering when something did or will happen. But if you want to calculate elapsed time, you need to convert to straight minutes or seconds depending on the precision you want in the result.

    Clear out data

    I'm trying to envision how the OP managed to define so many tables. I have an application I built to track medical stuff and it has 15 tables. I also use relationships which I'm sure the OP doesn't bother with. So, in my case, I can create a test person rather than using my own records and...

    Off Topic

    Tax the "rich" is all bluster. Who do you think makes the tax laws? Who do you think the tax laws benefit? If we wanted honest taxing, there would be no exemptions, the rate scale would account for personal and dependent exemptions.

    The OP asked the question NINE days ago and seems to have lost interest.

    Trump Administration Predictions

    In your dreams. What planet do you live on? Do you not understand how polls work? Again, what planet do you live on? Sovereign countries are sovereign because they control their borders. We, in the US have a welfare state. That means that we give away lots of free stuff. We are/were a...

    Trump Administration Predictions

    In the real estate business, each property tends to be its own corporation so if some property fails, bankruptcy can be declared but for only that property. For Apple and Microsoft, all products are under the same corporation, so there is no way to declare the Access division as bankrupt. In...

    Field to enter ONLY time.

    And that is as it should be. It is a mistake to use a format at the table level in an attempt to hide the true value of the table column. You could get a huge dent in your head and loose all your hair after days of debugging when you do this to yourself. NEVER format data in a table...

    Conditional Formatting

    Two others have given you the correct answer but let me explain why. There are two mistakes in the expression: OR is not the correct relational operator. English is less disciplined than a computer language and so a human will understand that you probably mean neither #1 nor #2. If you...

    Too Good to Be True

    I think it depends on which polls you hear being reported. I just heard one that had Trump below 50%. Tell me the result you want and I'll make sure that is what my poll reflects because I frame the questions and pick the population;)

    Just rename one of your own files to .dat and try to import it.

    Import Text Files without .txt extension, Update Access Text Registry

    Who can spell:eek: Thanks for the correction. I had some that were plain text and created by scanners. I found out when the change happened because the client called me up hysterical that he could no longer import files from his scanner. That's how I found out that .Dat files got put on some...

    Balkanization of the West

    I agree and that is why Muslims are such a danger to us also. But we close our eyes and take in both because we can't tell up front whether they really want to leave the past behind or bring it here and we don't want to paint them all with the same brush.

    Obama Being Arrested - what would you think of that?

    I hope not. I want to see the perp walk and the booking photo. After that, they can let him go on his own recognizance. I'm not sure that orchestrating a coup to depose the incoming president (after failing in the try to keep him from being elected) is a duty of the presidency so he may not...

    US Postal Service Electric Vehicle Flop

    I actually don't have any problem with that. The voting age was still 21 when I first voted and I didn't have a clue what was going on. Although I was already losing my liberal bias as I was out in the world working and realized that government money was my money. I sort of got the reason...

    Balkanization of the West

    Diversity is NOT our strength. Our strength is being able to assimilate people so that we are ONE. This makes us pretty unique among other countries. Not only do we actually welcome immigrants but we make them one of us (there are always some bigots in every crowd). We can't have people...

    US Postal Service Electric Vehicle Flop

    What should work is citizens serving as members of Congress which was the intention of the founders. Members serve one or two terms and then go home to live under the rules they made. What we have now is a protected political class. Many people in Congress have never had an actual job where...

    Obama Being Arrested - what would you think of that?

    I have no problem with Obama being arrested if he committed a crime. Did you have a problem with Trump being arrested when he was charged with made up crimes? Obama, Clinton, and Biden would never do time. Trump would pardon them all if it came to that. Although treason does come with the...
