    Set a lock on an external database with vba?

    This might sound ridiculous but this is all I can think of. [PREFACE] I have a split database, Front end Local, Backend on a LAN. Half our group is on west US, the other on the East. The LAN is out west, so the database runs great out there, out east - not so much. I've tried getting an...

    Field for a single value or "ALL"

    This is similar to my other, just posted question (apologies), but a bit different and much simpler. Need to record the "Affected Cycle" you enter an integer like 1 to 50. But it is also common, to affect "All Cycles". How should this be handled? In addition: What if there is a range of...

    I have a many-to-many table (I'll call it a Joiner table, is there a real name?) that has the fields: ID_Note, ID_Unit, ID_Calc, ID_Widget Type. ID_Note is the "main" field, I have a form that is bound to the ID_Notes and a subform where you choose your ID_Unit, ID_Calc and ID_Widget Type...

    Access Automatically Creating Relationship I don't want

    I have a database and I constructed all the tables and was going about adding relationships to them. I tried to add those weird relationships where it puts the number after the table name (someone please tell me what that's called :)) Maybe I shouldn't add those sorts of tables in the...

    Archive Record vs. Filter it Out

    So I'm maintaining a database that stores employee info. When an employee leaves there info no longer needs to show up in many of the forms/reports etc. However some reports and such refer back to the past when that employee was still there (the Employee ID is still referenced) Up till now...
