    using DoCmd.TransferDatabase to import data

    yup, I pretty much thought that's what I'd have to do. something like: 1. Import table to TEMP table 2. Run an UPDATE query to import the data from TEMP to my exisiting table 3. Delete TEMP table Oh well thought I'd check with you lot first in case there was something I was missing. Cheers...

    using DoCmd.TransferDatabase to import data

    Hi all, Hopefully this is just a quickie but I'll paste a bit of text form the MS help to illustrate (mainly because I'm too tired to think straight today!). MS Access 2002 help for the TransferDatabase Action states: Is there a way to use this command (or could you suggest another one) that...

    SQL query for searches - stumbling blindly in the dark!

    Ah I may not have explained myself properly in my original message. what I'm after is a list in decending order of the records that contain the most of the keywords searched for. Also because of the way I'm writing the code I'd like to do it with a single SQL query rather than one query looking...

    SQL query for searches - stumbling blindly in the dark!

    I'm trying to build a query that seaches keywords in a table and displays matching results in order of best match. To do this, I thought I'd write a bit of code that takes the search words, writes SELECT statements looking for each word in turn, UNION ALL the results together and do some group...

    I'm not sure I get you completely, but it sounds like you're gonna need a pivot table.

    Dynamic textboxes on a report - possible?

    Nailed it! I trawled through the help and found Me.Properties(x) What I did in the end was create 12*31 textboxes in a form (not a report) and used a FOR loop to set the content and background colour of each one on the fly. If I get some time I'll make a demo and upload it. TTFN Marc

    Importing a TEXT file automatically at certain times without opening ACCESS databas.

    Re: Problem in running a batch file OK, first of all you might find it better practice to use notepad rather than word as it won't autocorrect (read that as screw up) your text. second your execution path in the batch file contains spaces. There's a few ways round this. 1. use the non-8dot3...
