Ah alright, excellent. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately it didn't work. Would I add it to the default value property or code in VBA? Also, it appears as if =date() almost overrides everything else. Entire date is highlighted when I get focus on the subform. Any other suggestions? Thanks again.

Hey guys, I currently have the default value for one of my fields set to =Date(). I wanted to know if there is a way to add a space after the date, so in the text box linked to this field the user only has to press [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+ ; to add in a timestamp (not [SPACE] then [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+ ; )...

Thats exactly what I was thinking... Its very simiar to a switch statement with If/Else statements too that I learned in a C++ class a long time ago (which I've forgotten how to code) Each case, when satisfied, will adjust the controlsource of the subform... So I'm assuming that this code...

A different form based upon the selected criteria would popup below. EDIT: (I know this is essentially a switchboard concept, but I would like to handle it all through the same master form.)

Hi, Below is a screen shot of the layout for what I want to do will look like. I have absolutely no VBA knowledge, although I will be reseaching it extensively today and in the days to come. What I am trying to do is select any combination of choices from the three combo boxes at the top (I...

So heres a screenshot of what I've got so far...its exactly what I want layout wise, I just cannot figure out how to get readonly text into the textbox. Copying the word file into this box doesnt work because it says my string of characters is too long. Im assuming that the control source of the...

Sorry, i'm really new to access. How would I go about doing that? In form design view, should I insert a text box, a label, or some other object? What would be the source of the text? Again, sorry for my lack of access skill. Thanks

This is what im essentially trying to do... Please see attached picture (fixed textbox with scroller bar is all i want). Thanks

Alrighty, I copied the file location all the way up to the folder it was in, but didnt specify the actual filename. Thank you so much. So if I did want to have the button open a seperate access form with just a box of read only scrollable text (roughly 5 pages worth in Word), would that be...

So, ghudson I tried adding that line in under the OnClick code builder (for the button) and it just took me to the file in windows explorer. I would like for the button to open the file up in MS Word if possible. If that isn't possible, I would like to make the button to open up another MS...

Hi, I would like to do something along the lines of this: 1) Have a button on my current form that either opens a specific word document (in word) or opens a form that displays a scrollable text box (read only) that I have filled with text. Any idea on how to do this?

Data from one form to multiple tables OK so let me rephrase this in terms of a picture and what I am actually trying to do (or atleast think I should do).... So I am designing this program/database for a plating department (parts get dipped in tanks of chemicals to be plated with various...

Data from one form to multiple tables Hi, I have a question concerning the database that I am working on for a company I am interning with. I started with absolutely no access knowledge, but I have been teaching myself via forums and online help (and the obvious trial and error) over the past...
