It's all Greek to me Doc Man I haven't used expressions in anything other than Access and how i have used expressions in Access has been very basic indeed. A lot of what you said frankly didn't mean much to me as i don't have that sort of grasp on Access and so have not become familar with...

As we all know Access is an amazing programme with endless possibilies. Trouble is one of the things that stops me from doing a lot more than i can already is expressions. I just don't get it. I know there is an expressions builder and when i first saw it i thought, ok you just choose the...

Hi I am running a database that among other things, records the category sales of 12 charity shops. The categories are things like Ladies clothes, Men clothes, Kids clothes etc. I have a separate report for each category (about 10 reports in all). In each report each of the 12 shops are...

Hi I am running a database that records the sales figures from twelve charity shops. I use the database to record the monthly sales of different categories such as ladies clothes, mens clothes, kids clothes etc. I have a different report for each category so lets take the report for 'Ladies...

I have not yet actually tried to use the exact tables and fields (from my database) as described by me in the last post as it would take too long to try and apply those changes to my database. I have however already tried what you have said with the ID autonumber fields and description fields...

This is what i have So far i have tried to replicate examples of solutions to this problem. I have copied the structure people have used and then tried to use the row source as has been outlined but with my table/field names. I understand the pieces of the puzzle but don't know how the...

Thanks for the info but feeling rather lost Thanks for the helps although I am beginning to think maybe i picked the wrong forum as everyone is speaking another language to me. It's hard to tell what skill level i am at with my database (i thought i had learnt a lot) but it doesn't look like i...

success Well i managed to make it work thanks to your advice. My problem was knowing what was what within the code. I didn't even know if i was supposed to delete the commentary throughout the coding or whether that would mess it up. With your little extra instruction i managed to get it to...

coding confuses me Hi SJ McAbney I had already seen that link you pointed me to, but for someone who has never used that part of Access it's rather daunting. I don't understand what any of that means. If it were a case of just pasting it in fine, but i have no idea what should and shouldn't...

Again a question that i have seen asked before and again the answer contained lots of jargon i didn't understand. I have 3 combo boxes in the address section of my form; suburb, town and country. I want to use the combo boxes to limit each other as entries are made into the boxes. When i...

I know other people have already asked this question but all the anwers i have come across give lots of computer coding i don't understand. I have a combo box with some entries already in it but when i make a new entry i want to automatically update the source table the existing entries come...

This is the first of three threads i am posting. I'd say i'm pretty average at using access and have overcome most problems but i always struggle when it comes to getting over all the jargon that Access uses. I have looked through some of the Acess guide books but i have not found anything yet...
