    Question Push Button to increment, will add one to category

    Your post is a bit unclear, but if you are asking how to increment a value in a textbox by one each time a button is clicked, then on the click event of your button you need something like... YourTextBox.Value = YourTextBox.Value + 1

    Your productivity in db developing

    I agree with Bob. Im a Business Analyst and giving an accurate estimate is like trying to nail jelly to a wall... What might seem a small project to the Customer can quickly grow into a complex project that requires some complicated code and clever queries (which I think you referred to as ?)...

    Could you explain where I would use this Currentdb.Execute command ? The query itself is only running over 200 records and only returns 3 fields. Its very lightweight.

    Trigger a Make Table Query in an External database

    No, you misunderstand. I have tested this idea offline before I go back to IT with the NEW solution as I wasnt happy with the INITIAL solution that created the table within their database. Creating the table in MY database and forcing them to Open the Query on close is a much better solution...

    Trigger a Make Table Query in an External database

    OK - I have sorted it. Here's what I did... I created a Make Table query in the Source Database that creates a table in MY Database. I added a DoCmd.OpenQuery command to the Form.Close event that opens the Make Table Query. As long as the user of the source database always clicks Yes to...

    Trigger a Make Table Query in an External database

    The Light table will NEVER have to be updated - just read from. I had another idea. Maybe I can add some code that forces a Make Table (making a table in MY database) when the Source Table is saved. They can then just click OK to delete the old table and I will just make sure I compact my...

    Trigger a Make Table Query in an External database

    I cant link straight to it as there is data in there that they dont want me (or anyone else) to see, like Salary etc. I will only be able to READ from the tbl_Employee_Light. I actually need to link to more than one table, namely tbl_Employee tbl_Role tbl_Department

    Hi, I have a database which needs to link to a table in another Access Databse (tbl_Employees) which I have no control over. The other Access Database is my company's HR Database so some data in there is confidential. However, the IT Department have created a Make Table Query for me and the...

    Multiple one-to-many relationships

    Ironically I created a database similar to what youre trying to do. Id say you might have made a couple of small errors in your structure, one being, a vendor might have more than one property. Well, thats what I found when I was creating mine. If you upload it I can check it over if you like. Al

    Filtering

    OK, you should really create the following tables... tbl_Role_Position (for the position) tbl_Department ...and then look up these tables from ComboBoxes on your form. For a quick answer I havent created these tables for you, just the employee table and a simple query. This query basically...

    Filtering

    Im not sure that makes sense. Last Name, Position and Department are the same ? As in... LastName = Department = Position LastName = Smith Position = Smith Department = Smith I obviously know you mean something else, but what do you really mean ? Al

    Annoying Datasheet Form Problem

    Sorry but it must be me being stupid. The example at the link you sent me doesnt seem to work. Shoul I expect the Service Combo to change when the Category Combo changes? It only changes if you force a refresh.
