    LANDesk Time Control

    I have been playing around with a way of having an employee select their start or finish time from a combobox that references the current time and shows time options in 15 minute incriments. The nearest thing I have found is the ActiveX LANDesk Time Control. It displays what I need but I can...

    Restrict data entry in a control

    Input Mask Issue

    Thanks Linq. I was trying to use this format earlier but with no success - was attempting to apply it to the On Enter event only. I note that you are using both SelStart and SelLength. I am now using both to see if there is already data in the textbox and selecting the entire field if there...

    Input Mask Issue

    Hi guys, I have a text box with a simple input mask to force numbers only. My problem is that I want to be able to click in the box and have the cursor always go to the beginning of the mask on initial entry - not directly under the mouse pointer. Is this possible? Thanks.

    Combo Box binding

    Combo box binding I tried that however the box still initially appears blank. When you click the drop down the first entry says "select one of the following". A bit late then... Probably the only solution is to make the field label speak the obvious "Select one of the following". Thanks for...

    Combo Box binding

    I have bound the control to the second column of a combo box as it is used to fill a text box. I still want the combo box to have a default value but it will only display if I set the bound column to the first column. Any ideas here?

    Combo box populate issue

    Within a database called "FB.mdb" I have two tables, a form and now a combo box problem. The form gets most of its form data from a table called "Vouchers". It also has a two column Combo Box "WordType" which I would like to populate from the other table "CardTypes" which obviously also uses...

    Little Combo Box problem

    A change of heart I have had a change of heart, mind and socks and decided to attempt a read from another two field table within the current project which would serve the same purpose of the Excel data but keep the whole job neater. A two column combo box and a two field table. Should be easy...

    The Dirty Property

    The Dirty Problem Relatively new to this stuff myself however it sounds like you have two fields on seperate forms accessing the same data. Modify one and the other has the wrong data displayed. Why not use unbound fields on the subform and then copy the contents from the main form. When you...
