    Conditional Formatting Not Working

    A date is a Date regardless of Short Date etc. There is no real reason to format the Date as far as I can see. Try doing this in VBA rather than using the Format tool.

    Calculating Hours Minutes from Decimal

    The decimal part is always Positive regardless of the sign of everything before the decimal point. Hence -1.5 is 12 hours before Midnight 12/30/1900 (I may have the date wrong. It could be a year earlier)

    Alternative to AutoNumber

    Galaxiom As no one else is getting involved, I suggest that we finish this last point then call it a day. We could go on for ages otherwise.

    Alternative to AutoNumber

    Would your natural key still require to be indexed. You would be searching, filtering etc with the Auto Number. Sorting would not fit in with this. So only the one Index would be required. (Plus others depending on the table make up) I do not use your method as described in paragraph one. I...

    Alternative to AutoNumber

    A lot of talk has been about the failure of the Auto Number. This has not been my experience. I wonder how many of you have had real problems with the Auto Number failing. I am suggesting that you only count the Databases that you have written rather than those written by others and you...

    Alternative to AutoNumber

    If you are completely satisfied that it is unique then there is no reason why you should not use it. I would do something similar. I would use this as the Main identifier for all to see. However I would still have an Auto Number hidden away which is the real PK. An example of why I would not...

    Alternative to AutoNumber

    Is there any harm in hiding the PK if it were an Auto Number. I cannot think of a single problem. Can you? Is there any harm in showing the PK if it were an Auto Number. I think there can be. If you were Audited and Invoice Number 4321 was completely missing would that not raise an issue with...

    Indexing. When does it happen.

    CJ Just to clarify my thinking. When you add a new record there is a slight delay while Access updates the indexing for that field. When you do a search or even simply open the records it becomes faster than a similar situation where there is no indexing. When we add a new record the...

    update a column with its last value and concat to the value of another column

    Instead of using txt146 it would be better if you used txtMyDate or what ever is applicable. This may also help us to understand what is what. Thank You.

    Indexing. When does it happen.

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1108/how-does-database-indexing-work That was just an introduction and a link to the source. :) :) :) :) What I would like to know is when is the Index applied. A Field needs to be reindexed whenever a record is either created or edited. Is this index...
