    Record lock

    Not sure what you intended to do but from your explanation the AllowDeletions property of the form should do the trick. So create a button for record deletion. When this is pressed ask for password. If password is OK set AllowDeletions to True, delete the record then restore the AllowDeletions...

    Syntax Help

    While I'm not comfortable with SQL I developed other technique in order to solve situations like this: I create an working query that do what is supposed to do. Then I copy the SQL and paste it in VBA. Then I tweak this in order to insert variables as criteria. For sure the code is less...

    Mouse over effect

    I found that leaving the entire detail background of the form with continuous action to take was causing certain images on the form and the Properties window to flicker intermittently. No need to sophisticated code in order to avoid this. Just check the visibility before change it and change...

    having problems using public variables

    I think that somewhere in your project you have one more "pintUserId" declared as public variable. Do a search and look to all places where the "pintUserId" appear.

    What's the standard industry on pricing Access work?

    While it is possible to silently subscribe to a thread, it is also possible to tell something, isn't it ? :) OK. I'll tell you the Edison's story (not all, of course, just the story where Edison make first money as inventor). His boss ask Edison, in order to buy the invention, how much money...

    combobox not refering to correct field.

    1) Click your subform (in the main form - design view) and take a look to the "linked fields" (properties panel). I don't make a selection about date. In my opinion is not necessary. While you see all the appointments for a person, sorted by date (ZA), should be very simple to scroll down the...

    Prevent duplicate entries in a subform

    Happy that you solved the issue, but I suspect that this is not the right way. The duplicates should be stopped at table level, not at form level. So, do not allow duplicates at table level and, doing this, the form will no longer accept duplicates.

    AfterUpdate do I have access to the new records Primary key

    Don't understand what you mean when you speak about "child record". The children records should be stored in a child table. And this table should be used as subform in the main form. Access will do the rest for you.
