    objmailitem.send vs DoCmd.SendObject

    Hi there I have implemented both methods to send an email from my form, but it seems that there are subtle differences. It seems that 'objMailItem.Send', creates and sends the message 'silently' (no confirmation from the user is required), whereas the 'DoCmd.SendObject' method requires the user...

    Thanks for your assistance namliam I think that I will pursue the path of booking by period, however, I cannot bypass the booking by 'guest' as (to quote george orwell) 'some pigs are better than others' and I need a way to deal with them.

    Refresh a query NOT linked to a form or report

    Hi Mailman I like where you're going with this, but think that there are some practicalities that are forcing me into a record per house/room/date scenario. I was hoping that by giving only the relevant info in my first post, would simply solve the query refresh issue, but I i am now tempted to...

    Refresh a query NOT linked to a form or report

    This Is A Good Question Which I Have Previously Dismissed As Being Impractical For The Following Reasons. Our Organisation Has 12 Houses In Remote Communities. Each House Has Up To 3 Rooms. Most Rooms Sleep 2 People, But Some Could House 6 People (in Sleeping Bags) If Neccesary. Genrally, A...

    Lookup of a lookup

    Hi John I see that your 'Supply Receipt' is sourcing its data from a query that is being run on the form, but you have already saved the query (called 'Supply Receipt Query'). When you save the query, it is referred to as a stored query. This greatly enhances the performance of the DB and (I...

    Corrupt text (asian characters)

    OK - This is the last comment I intend to make on this as I am now convinced this is a MS bug. If I run the following MAKE TABLE query from code, the output is NOT corrupt. strSQL = "select A_TimeSlots.ID, A_TimeSlots.StartTime, A_TimeSlots.EndTime, '" & _...

    Lookup of a lookup

    No Problem. Edit the Material/Supply field to include both the Manufacturer and supplier as follows. On the Data tab, in the 'Row Source' property, put this code. (You could have changed it graphically but it might take a little longer for me to explain.) SELECT DISTINCT [Material...

    I Have created a new DB as suggested and imported all the objects that I need. Still getting the same problem. NOTE: It seems like the text corruption is ONLY displaying in query results.

    Corrupt text (asian characters)

    Thanks Rural Guy I am aware that MS stores date/time fields as 'one' - My problem is that I dont know how to display the field (Calendar with time options) to the user so that they can book a car from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM on 1-may-2014. As for the characters problem, I have changed the way that I...
