    Help with DLookup (Type Mismatch)

    I'm trying to figure out a problem I'm having with DLookup, and I think I've hit the limit of my abilities. I've created a form (frmMain) that is used to enter student records. What I'm wanting to do is to check if a student already exists in the database. Rather than wait until the whole...

    Querying to get Access Statistics

    This is either very simple or very complex, I haven't figured out which yet. I need to know the number of tables in my database and from each table I need to know how many records are in each table. Ordinarily I would just count the number of tables then open each one up to get the number of...

    Impact of # of Fields/Records on DB Size

    Not sure if this is a Table question, a General question or what exactly. I'm working with a lot of records (millions of them). Assuming each record/field contains identical data, I'm wondering which would result in a larger overall DB size: - 10 million records, 4 fields each - 30 million...

    Cleaning Up "Grouped" Data

    I have a question and I'll apologize in advance because it may or may not really be an Access question. I have a large ASCII spreadsheet that I have imported into Access. It has 4 columns, and has these headings: CodeID, Group, Division, Account. Many Division and Account combinations can...

    Display message when no records found?

    I have three sub forms on a main form. Each of the sub forms is attached to its own query and returns the a field of text from the record when a certain field, PROCEDURE, equals a specified value. (Each subform is looking for a specific value.) Everything is working great, unless there is...

    Display multiple records on same table

    Hopefully this is in the right forum - the issue is pretty equally queries and forms... I have a table set up as follows: POLICY, DIVISION, PROCEDURE, FREQUENCY, ISSUE. There can be multiple divisions with multiple procedures for the same policy but only one frequency and issue per procedure...

    Show Results NOT appearing in a Table

    Okay, first I apologize for the confusing subject line, but I don't know how to better describe my problem, which hopefully is a simple one. I have two tables, BADCLASS and TERMINATED. BADCLASS shows a list of policies that have a problem. TERMINATED shows a list of policies that have been...

    Protecting Specified Fields in Continuous Forms

    I have a continuous form which users update periodically. Depending on the value of one of the fields, NOTES, other fields (FIELD_1, FIELD_2 and FIELD_3) should not accept data. I have toyed with the idea of making the field invisible if NOTES is equal to a certain value. On continous forms...

    Trim() Not Working for Me

    I have a form on which users enter data. The text boxes are labelled F1, F2, F3, etc. and match the table name (box F1=field F1, etc). On text box F7, users are to enter a client ID and it must be exact - no spaces are allowed. I have set up that box with =Trim([F7]) on the AfterUpdate...

    Is it possible to (painlessly) allow users to have full control over their cursor keys? I have a few users who are very used to Excel and find it awkward having to shift between the mouse and the keyboard. They would like to be able to use the up and down arrow keys and have the cursor move up...
