    Extract data from word documents into Access

    This one has me stumped at the moment. Of course you nee the information in that table otherwise you would not have received the error but since it appears to be a one time job, consider that time spent on making the code to transfer the data vs. the time needed to enter it manually. One thing...

    The easiest would of course be to unmerge the cells. Is the layout fixed or can you make changes?

    Extract data from word documents into Access

    One option is to use the form fields throughout instead of only for checkboxes. There is also a text variety you can use. It is possible to use VBA to extract the contents of form fields and load it into a table for further processing. Since each form field is individually named, their position...

    Text as Primary Key vs Auto Number

    We are having the same type of discussion in Denmark. For many years this number was considered a secret but in reality it was extremely easy to find out what the number was if you had a little information about the person. As of today, it is possible to buy stuff and borrow money if you just...

    Question How to send a single email message to all the email addresses in my query?

    A word of warning. Sometimes it is not your system deciding this but rather some server between you and the receivers. Some are set to automatically flag the sender as a spammer and within a day you could end up being banned completely as they exchange this kind of information. Based on...

    Excel Month Calculation

    You are right about the potential time issue however Sychoangel only wrote dates so I assumed it would only have to deal with dates and not times. If it has to handle that, I would use this one...

    Excel Month Calculation

    You can try this one. It works in excel 2010 but as for the other version I don't know. You might need to replace the ";" with "," as I know this can cause problems depending on your system setup...

    Time calculation when crossing International Line Date

    I second Mihails solution. Taking your example I get this: Departure 10 Nov 1700Z from Tokyo. (Tokyo is at the +9 time zone so local departure time is 11 Nov 0200(+9)) Arrival 11 Nov 0500Z in Seattle. (Seattle is at the -8 time zone to local arrival time is 10 Nov 2100 (-8)) Keep in mind that...

    Whether they are organic or not does not mean anything. Depending on the country of origin, some pesticide, fungicides or other nasties may still be allowed for organic greens. We ahve had several scares with raspberries contaminated with human waste (Yes, exactly that kind of waste). If you...

In reality, this number is just a reference to you in a central database that will uniquely identify you. Unfortunately many public and financial instituions as well as businesses will accept this number...

    The beuaty about using teh legacy form fields is that they are not code or anything like that. We have the same IT rules and these go through without problems. Since all the work done by code is from access, the word form should not contain anything that they will stop. If needed, you can...
