    Duplicated data due to structure?

    What version of Access are you using? If you change the data back do the listboxes work again [to prove it is data dependant] It sounds like your joins need adjusting to re-assert uniqueness for the changed data.

    where is the confusion? Is 'where' a reserved word in SQL? Try something like cwhere = "" If [GVL Shift A] = -1 Then cwhere = "[Shift ID] = " & "'A'" End If If [GVL Shift B] = -1 Then cwhere = cwhere & " OR [Shift ID] = " & "'B'" End If If [GVL Shift C] = -1 Then cwhere = cwhere & "...

    Don't want data automatically saved, want to confirm before saving

    One suggestion: Ensure your table has a unique key, copy the records you want to edit into a temporary table. Present the temporary table in the form and on closing the form and confirming the save use a query or 2 to update the original table. You have to validate each incoming line against...

    Query - Persistent Parameters

    Access '97. I have a series of nested select queries which ask for a date range. One of the queries doesn't re-ask for the date range but just reports what it once ran. This means, if I change the desired date range, the results are not as expected. Any idea how to stop the query persisting...
