    VBA Conditional Formatting error because I have more than 3 formatting requirements.

    First question is which version of Access? In Access 2003 / 2007 the built in limit was three. Certainly in Ver 2021 I've used 4 (I think they all worked but I'm not certain) but never bothered with the finding out the limit. You'll need to look it up for your version.

    Getting Rid of the Electoral College Blight

    Exactly my point - what was the best compromise 200+ years ago could easily (technically that is, not politically) be replaced by a country wide consistent vote of all citizens.

    Getting Rid of the Electoral College Blight

    As an observer I have really enjoyed following this thread for a number of reasons: I really admire the passion that Americans put into their politics. I am amused that a system (EC) invented to cater with the communication and travel problems of 200 plus years ago, which have long...

    Watercooler v political forum

    That's why Gentleman's Clubs were so useful: nothing wrong with discussions about politics and religion but in the correct place: the pub (street corners etc) and church (chapel, temple, mosque etc... ), but one needs sanctuaries.

    Access Not Using Default Database Folder

    I've never seen this as a real problem - a little navigation is only a couple of seconds in a manual process . Must admit, however, I seldom ever build an .accde from the SaveAs dialog. My .accde files are built from my Releases database in code, where you can guarantee where you are saving...

    Solved Type mismatch

    LEAVE MANAGEMENT

    This really depends on how many people you are administering leave for. I suggest that if it is less than twenty it's easier done on papaer!

    LEAVE MANAGEMENT

    Well done for flagging a this which can be a real problem - years back when I served in a tri-service unit it was a nightmare as each of the three services calculated entitlements and counting of days taken in different ways.

    I need help understanding

    Being a Brit I don't have any stake in this particular argument, but as an outsider looking in there are so many faults and anomalies in the whole voting system for the president that I wonder why anyone is surprised at the outcome of votes!

    How to refer to objects in referenced db?

    As an aside to the main thread how many others are baffled like me at Microsoft's decision to prevent classes being exposed in referenced access databases? Seems crass to me, given that most referenced databases usage is for Library databases,

    Solved SQL statement works in Access but not via ODBC

    I know the solutions to this thread is to avoid UNION but it is worth pointing out that ODBC Drivers are notorious for not handling UNION. Test the usage against Access rear end, but to use against the target database use Pass through queries.
