    Combo selection comes up WRONG

    I have a form with combo boxes for selecting products to be purchased. When a product is selected, the price appears in a text box. This is working fine by making the bound column of the combo box the field containing the price. When I have two different products that have the same price...

    Query Returns No Records

    Obvious neophyte issue here, sorry... I have a table, PURCHASE_ITEMS with 3 fields: ID, TYPE, NAME Another table, ITEM_TYPES with 2 fields: ID, TYPE TYPE in both tables is a text field and there is a one-to-many relationship between them. When I run a query on PURCHASE_ITEMS, I can see all 25...

    "Method tried to invoke failed" but it works

    I've twice gotten the following error message "The method you tried to invoke on an object failed" but had the code apparently work just fine anyway. How much should I worry about this? In both cases, it's making a simple calculation on the dollar amt in one box and showing the result in...

    Combo box only allows SOME selections

    OK, now I see why the specific selections aren't coming up. Their costs are the same. Wherever the cost is the same, the combo only allows selection of the first of the items. That is *weird*. On checking my other lists, I see the same thing is happening and I hadn't noticed it. This *ought*...

    Running calculation based on previous transactions

    I am building an application for a small clinic. In the interests of good database design, I don't want to be storing numbers that are derived by calculation. A patient with insurance will have a deductable that will be entered into a field on their first (ms access) transaction form. A...

    Architectural question

    Thank you, Pat - I'm afraid I'm not quite clear enough. I'm bright, but very untrained. In your example, am I creating two new tables, or is tblItem one of my existing tables? Is tblItemType, therefor the parent table you mention? If so, I then have my combo box looking at tblItemType and...

    Architectural question

    I misspoke - I can create a query using the names of each type of item, but they come in one row, when I want them all in one column and, when selected, the price of each should populate a text field. I can get that to work, but, so far, only when using one table, since I haven't gotten all the...

    What's your best/worst joke?

    God knows if anyone gets this far down the list....... This is either the best or the worst, depending.... you decide. An old man is in the hospital, visiting his wife who is dying. He's very upset, naturally. They're sitting holding hands and reminsicing and the wife hesitantly lets it come...

    "Natural" name format in combo list

    Never Mind.... I figured it out. The SQL version of IIf needed the syntax IIf(IsNull([FIELDNAME]), when the 'pure Access' version worked with IIf(IsNullFIELDNAME, Go figure..........

    "Natural" name format in combo list

    "Natural name format in combo list Thanks for the hint. I find that if I use the following SQL statement, I get every record listed, but only first and last name fields, of course. Since some contacts require more than those two fields, I can't leave it like that: SELECT Contacts.Prefix...
