    Data entry in subform flows through to other figures

    It sounds like the sub-form is a continuous form, and the entry field is unbound. When an entry is made, it will cascade into all the records. You have to bind the Due field to a table.

    Renumber a List

    In general practice, the correct way logically, is usually the best way in code. Temp tables, and gimmick get arounds will just make things worse down the road, not that they do have have their place. The first place to start in learning a coding language such as Visual Basic is to: 1)...

    Renumber a List

    Sorry I took your code and typed in what I thought would work. The code is missing 2 end if statement. One Immediately preceeding line 59 and another that should preceed the rs.close. This code example handles both adding a new record without needing a decimal point and deleting an existing...

    Significant slow down after a major VBA adjustment

    Use your Management Studio on SQl Server. My guess is everything is being pulled back to jet. You may have to use a pass-through or correct the new VBA code to ensure SQL Server can process the code on the server and pass back only the results. Another guess is that the new security function...

    Broad question about de-duping names & address

    If it is soley a promotion, then that makes it simple. Exact matches on the address get removed. If it is an offer to a person for a credit card for example, then you are back to finding the criteria that satifies the institutions requirements (age, name, address all unique). You are on the...

    Requery doesn't work

    Thanks for putting it in a code box Rookie. My comment is, since this is simply a query, then no data has changed and the requery is not required. May I suggest you single step through the code to confirm the if structure is flowing according to your combo box selections. If you put a stop...

    Problem with date variable

    Be carefull, if this date is used to read records from a table with a date format, but stored as text, you will not match any records, since date is always date/time no matter what format it is displayed. It is often defined as text instead of date to facilitate the sql search with "Where...

    Renumber a List

    Gemma, I think BillBee has the indexed field Special set up as integer, and has duplicates to allow a decimal entry to place the record in the correct position. The decimal value gets stripped by Access, but Access slots it appropriately as the 2nd occurance. This gimmick works, but is a...
