Len, I read an article on this very subject a couple of years ago. Probably New Scientist but could have been in the Scientific American. The answer, if I recall it correctly, is that the light from these mirriad stars has not got here yet.

http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=113988 An almost identical question on this thread. Interesting answer in last response (at time of writing this!) it seems that you can paste a form directly into a report. Hope this helps

Doc Man, Firstly, I doubt I would have made the comments were we face to face. Secondly, I assume you read my posts at least twice and I hope that if you did, you were able to see that there was and is no malice on my part. A conversation where one party has a vested interest in things that...

As regular readers will know, I'm green. But I would like to know if your user is editing a copy of the front end or trying to edit a commonly accessed database on a server? If they are editing a copy of the FE, suggest they request whatever report they want from the administrator (you?). If...

Yes. Qatar national day - 3rd September. As we have the Friday/Saturday weekend here, everyone is off for the long weekend. :) I know Qatar isn't the source of the majority of the forum posts (I have tried to change that, on a one man crusade basis! :D ) so I don't think that is where everyone...

Hi Doc Man, I remember reading reports that New Orleans was a crisis waiting to happen several years before the levees finaly failed. The city has been sinking for a long time. I think everything you have said is fair and true but misses the point. Hard as it may seem, the city should not be...

'Hot enough to boil a monkey's bum, your majesty' Monty Python pretending be Australians.

A very straighforward way I solved the same problem is to use the Private Sub Detail_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer) event. See the db I posted on this other thread for 2 examples. http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=113760 Hope this is of interest

I had a similar problem. My tabs showed grey on my PC even though they were set to transparent. I could, however put controls behind them so that they were seen on every page which saved a lot of duplication for project title and a couple of buttons. I was happy enough with this but when I saw...

There are a few threads around covering this area (and I have posted on a couple) but none of them seem to be quite what I need (or I haven’t understood them :( ) and I have been going round in circles a bit. I have: • A form that is filtered by 1 of 6 VBA filters called by Select Case code on...

Cool - best of luck.

The UK has a dismal record of implementing large IT projects (and other public projects) for the government. Really and truly, almost all of them get discarded after many hundreds of millions of pounds spent. The real horror is that the preceding systems are generally ditched in the process...

Hi Burt, Welcome to the site. Some very helpful people here. I'm stil pretty green and went through the same thing as you a while back (not tha tlong ago). I'm happy to say that I got exactly what I wanted (with a little tooth pulling form the gurus on the site :D ). Check out these 2 threads...

When you have all the responsability for something but none of the authority to make it happen, and others are either disinterested or obstructive you can tell people that : "I feel like a one legged man in an arse kicking contest" I'm sure many of the professionals on this site who's work is...

In a similar vein: Lang may yer lum reek. Possibly Robbie Burns. Lum is an old work for chimney and reek is a lowland Scottish work for smoke. A reekin' lum meant that you had fuel to keep warm.

Other one liners that really made me laugh the first time I heard them, but not always when they were familiar:) 'Being in love means never having to say you are sorry' (Love Story 1970 something) used in the context of normal office interactions between colleagues who aren't in a romantic...

"Source Code" I thought there was more than one Parkinson's Law but the Google search only turned up the original version that Matt and I posted later versions of: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Parkinson's Law states that "work expands so as to fill the time available for its...

Hi Folks, I have read a number of threads on this subject and am now a little confused. My form has a combo box that uses a Select Case to apply 1 of 5 filters to the form and I have a formatted report that is essentially based on the same query as the form. Here is the bit that has me...
