    Happy Birthday Tay

    Thank you Tess:) I have been lurking on the 'Cooler for a while... well, since broadband arrived here. However, I haven't posted. Looks like I need to as my post count has gone down considerably since the hacking! Not to complain as I know that many of you lost a great deal of posts. I...

    Boxing Ring

    Tess Good luck with your new job - I still remember you, and I'm sure that some of the other old farts (they know who they are...) will wish you well too (when they can stop moaning about the USA/Bush/Blair etc). Tay

    Please help with file copying in VBA!!

    The object browser in Access might be a start - go for a new module in the database window, click on object browser, select VBA from the dropdown and type 'copy' into the search box. There are various DOS type options in the 'filesystem' class as I recall. Sorry, too tired / cold to be able to...

    Suppress Delete Query Messages

    I had thought there was an option in the query design to allow you to suppress this kind of warning but it has been a while since I've used Access on a daily basis so I shall no doubt be corrected by those that know more about these things.... :) The following VBA should work for you with a...

    Getting tables to work

    For example..... Project table (Main table) ProjectID = autonumber (Primary Key) ProjectName = text Project Details table (Sub table) ProjectID = long integer ProjectType = text In the Relationships window (go to Tools on the Main Menu, the Relationships) Show the tables you want, and join...

    Getting tables to work

    You need to establish the links between the master form and sub forms. So when you put the subform control in your main form, you will get an option with the wizard to link master and child fields. So you would choose the ID number for each table. In the Relationships window, make sure that you...

    How to generate a Report basing from Query?

    Unless I'm missing something, if you have saved your query with the calculated fields in it, you should just be able to create a report, and when you choose the fields you want in your report, the calculated fields should also appear in the list, so simply select them. It doesn't matter whether...

    Open form when tables contents change

    What exactly do you mean by "when a tables contents change"?. Do you mean whether or not a new record has been added, or do you mean if the data in a field has changed or been added? And also, would you not be entering/editing the data in that table by a form? So, if the data in table1/form1 has...

    Strange occurences with formatting.....

    Thank you for replying, Tim. It is more than likely that IS have been 'tinkering' over the Christmas period, so that could explain a few things. However, the problem has changed a little since I posted. Now, if I click on the combo and it expands, the figures are displayed as 1.00, 2.00 etc...

    Strange occurences with formatting.....

    Has Access developed a mind of its own, or is there something I'm missing? I have a db that has been working fine for ages. Today, I have been doing some data entry, and noticed a few things going wrong. 1. I have a combo box on a subform where I can choose a number. Rather than it displaying...

    Subforms on a tab control

    I assumed before that when you said they didn't change, I thought that they were dependent on what tank was chosen, hence my reply. Glad you've got it sorted now.

    Subforms on a tab control

    I think this may do the trick. Private Sub Form_Current() If Me.cmboFishTankName = "Tank1" Then Me.tbCtlsfrmDetails1.Pages(0).SetFocus End If If Me.cmboFishTankName = "Tank2" Then Me.tbCtlsfrmDetails1.Pages(1).SetFocus End If End Sub Where cmboFishTankName is the name of your combo where...

    Subforms

    Compact the db first, then zip it. You should then be able to post it here. that way, more of us can try to help as we can all see it. I'll send you a private message (with email address) just in case the db is still to large to fit on here.

    Subforms

    Access 97 version, rather than 2000 or higher. Looking at your attachment, it looks as though it is higher, so could you convert it down to 97?

    Comboboxes and Listboxes

    Which version of Access are you using? Most people on here (and myself) use Access 97, so if it's 2k or higher, please convert it to 97. Then zip it, and when you reply to the post, go to the Attach File bit, and you can add it there. It will be a copy, so you can carry on using your version...

    Comboboxes and Listboxes

    Can you post a screen dump of the Relationships Window? I'm not sure why you have fields for Customers and Employees in your JobDetails table if you have tables for each of these. I'm presuming that one job can have many employess and customers and the customers and employees can have more than...

    Date Calculation

    It sounds like you may have typed the expression in the wrong place (in the criteria bit). Type it where it says field. HTH.
