    Here's one for all the Forum Guru's...

    LOL! I appreciate that! I can totally understands both sides of the coin (having been on both sides ;) ). It is -oh so frustrating- so see projects ( I am not involved with) sputter along due to poor or mis-communication.

    Here's one for all the Forum Guru's...

    While I was getting my Electical Engineering degree, I discovered I had a knack for programming. After school, for reasons I won't get into, I have never had a position as any kind of engineer. Mostly business analysts type / data crunching positions. I was better than my co-workers at data...

    Why can't I think of a simpler way?

    Can you change [Cmb_Month] to store the numeric equivlient of the months? ie [Cmb_Month] = 1 instead of January? If so, then you could use a function like DATEVALUE to help indentify your start date.

    Smart Filtering my subform

    The concept still applies. Just instead of the previous combobox, you need to select from the specified column (filtered). If this is incorrect, please restate your original problem as I am not following otherwise.

    Code worked, now get error

    References are set for each database, not for the computer. I have a number of database that may have the Outlook reference set, but if I am in a database that doesn't have that set, I would get the same error if I tried to reference an Outlook object.

    Automatic data fill in

    Yes. In the On_Change event for the combo box, you can use Dlookup code to assign values to your textboxes.

    Fixed Position

    I am making a guess here, do you want your textbox hidden from view, that is why you are putting it behind the button?

    how to join the table with query based on 'like' clause

    Change the rowsource of the dropdown box to a query based on the reason table. For the Inactive field, just set the criteria as "No" (or False or 0). This will return only the reasons you have flagged as active.

    Automatic counter resets each new day

    The potential for conflict does exist, but to reduce the risk, create the record immediately after getting the next VisitID. The risk increases if you ask for the next VisitID and do other operations before creating the record. That gives the next user to ask (and receive) the same VisitID.

    Automatic counter resets each new day

    I think that maybe MarkK misunderstood the question. His provided code would give the numbers of days that have passed since 1/1/2014. To attack your counter problem, I would use a DMax function on the VisitID field for all records with today's date. Your code might look like: lngNewVisitID...

    Connected users?

    Also, Access is limited to 2GB per file. After that, you are begging for problems. Simply put, file "bloating" is due to actions that could increase objects (tables, forms records, etc) followed by actions that reduce objects (deleting records, tables, forms). In some cases, you won't be...
