    Changing field length in large database.

    Thank you - That worked. I though had to run a select query before the update to only give me top 1,000,000 records at a time that where not updated - so the update query had to run 4 times (3.6 million records). I could not update them all at once. - same error That had never crossed my...

    calculated field delay in subform.

    Thanks I will try that. I am leaning and already started re-writing the form so the function is done in a query. I think this is going to be a better solution. I can sum and count the one table and link it to the main table. then do the calculations in that query. I am making the function...

    calculated field delay in subform.

    Guess I don't quite understand what you are saying. I have a subform that in the footer has a control source that has =Count(*) also in the detail it has =Sum([ppfoot]). one counts the records in the subform and the other sums the some data. The problem is I have a function that I wrote that...

    calculated field delay in subform.

    I am having a problem that had been run into before. I have a couple of calculated fields in a subform. One sums a field in the subform and one counts the records. I have a function that I wrote that takes all the data from the main and subform and does a calculation. If I do a refresh and...

    running function whenever -anything- changes on form

    I am sorry I didn't post that I am using access 97. It doesn't appear to be an on_dirty event available with 97. I manual put an on_dirty event in the form code and it didn't work - I sould have known when it didn't capitalize it. Is there something similar for 97 or am I doing something...

    running function whenever -anything- changes on form

    I have a from that estimates a price depending on hundreds of variables. I have a button right now called calculate that runs a function I wrote that does all the calculations. What I would like to do is if anything changes on the form the function will run. I would rather not put the...

    access 97 limit of 64000 records in combo box

    As you can tell I was self taught. :) The main thing the temp hold is for is so that if someone types a space the and the form requerys the space is stripped out of the list box. So the hold keeps track of the last change so if after the requery the size of the text didn't change it assumes a...

    access 97 limit of 64000 records in combo box

    Well I just found out that access 97 has a limit of 64000 records or so in the combo box control. I have a table of customers that I needed to have a combo box that workers could start typing in the name of the company and it would show up in the box. The table has over 600000 records. Time...

    combo box item not in list (!)

    Here is something that I have found. I have a form that lets you type in a die number and then finds that record on the form. Also on the form is code to make up a file path to a autocad drawing stored on another drive letter. It then allows you to click on a button to view that autocad...
