    Oracle vs. SQL Server speed -- ODBC

    Usually I find linked tables give way poorer performance. I usually find I can quicken things up if I do most of the work in a passthrough query, and do the final filtering in Access on a query based off the passthrough. Might not work in your scenario, but thought it worth a mention.

    Tweaking required fields

    Why can't you just NOT add them to that IF statement? It appears it is only checking to see if the required fields are NULL, and if any of them are, gives that error message, otherwise opens the report.

    "Linked" table problem

    Funderburgh: Sounds like (and I may be wrong) you are confusing a Linked table with a Related table. Linked tables mean the physical data resides somewhere other than the current access MDB file you are in. Related tables means they are joined by some data relationship somehow. So what you are...

    Inserting records comparing two tables

    What does the PK look like (I am assuming it is not literally "PK", that would be to simple)? But on the outside chance it is actually "PK" you can do a RIGHT([A],LEN([A])-2)

    Simple programming using macros

    I think how you approach this depends more on how you want to "see" if someone already exist. Are you planning on a straight comparison, example first name = first name and last name = last name? Or are you going to get more complicated than that? You could use a simple vMyLong =...

    Quantity

    Consider either something like a combobox to select the price boundry. Or if you want to base it off an entered quantity, how about qtylow and qtyhigh fields instead? Then a simple between or >= and <=. Of course if you qtys are tied to a specific product, you could always get the max where the...

    Query Not Showing Desired Results - HELP

    maybe you should set the default (at the table level) on that column to zero. I usually do that on numeric columns. But it should still show them using that any of that code given you. Strange, really, strange. Let me ask this, when you said you removed the zeros, what did you remove them too...

    populating fields

    Since you have a country table, I assume it is a combobox to choose the country from. I would use the Click event on that combobox to populate the others. How you populate them depends on the type of control they are.
