    Can an update query be used to pull date from longtext field?

    I've got an odd one. I have a DB where there's a long text field and for each record, this long text field always starts with a date.

    Thank you. Could you provide a sample. I'm really struggling to find a walkthrough of sending batch emails. All I can find is how to use outlook automation or sendobject to email out one singular record

    Can Access send out automated emails when new records are added?

    Can Access send out automated emails when new records are added?

    Thanks! Perhaps a dumb question, but how do I make a VBA procedure via a data macro? When I try to add an after insert event on the table, I am only able to make a macro. I can't find where to use VBA. The 'convert to VBA' button is even greyed out...

    Conditional formatting not working on DLookup

    I have a bunch of different text fields throughout the report though that I was hoping to use conditional formatting on; there's 4 different tables that I'm using dlookups on so I don't think all could be pulled into one query

    Conditional formatting not working on DLookup

    I have a text box in a report whose control source is using a dlookup formula. When applying conditional formatting to that field, the formatting only appears if the user actually clicks on the text box. It doesn't always appear and also doesn't appear when the report is export to PDF. Any...
