    Best way to manage heavy ftp files

    It is worthwhile to check whether you even need such files. Unless the application inherently involves images, you may be able to reduce the data transfer. For example, sending the information needed to create an invoice rather than an image of the invoice.

    Table Design Input

    You need a transaction table that records everything going in and out of inventory. Then you have a full audit trail. Transaction table would have autonumber key and reference the information you are tracking. The inventory in a location should be the sum of all the transactions, even if you...

    Overlaying Text and Image

    How do I set the z-order? The image seems to block the text box, even if the text box is transparent. I am printing counters for a board/miniatures game, so space is very limited (1.5" x .75").

    Vlookup across two database tables

    I hope that the 2 million record table is not an Access native table. Such large table should be in heavy-duty database like SQL Server and linked to Access.

    Elegant ways to handle multiple queries within a single sub

    I am suddenly getting values of #deleted in all fields in tables connected to 2 different SQL server databases, which have functioning for years.
