Thanks Mile Very subtle differences in these codes, adding the word “with”. I guess I will eventually figure it all out. Now I am off to find out what “with” is all about!!! I always get my questions answered but end up leaving with more to ask!!! Navyguy

Thanks a.sinatra At my level this is pretty exciting stuff, I will have to wait to I feel a little more comfortable with this stuff first before I start adding features like Hourglasses etc. What are you suggesting regarding the naming techniques? Is there a particular "standard" that I...

I am playing around with splash screens and seem to missing something. The splash screen opens great and so does the "Main Form" but when the "Main Form" opens the Splash stays on top and open. Also if I close the "Main Form" it opens up again after 5 seconds, like It would if the splash was...

Just wondering if anybody had any ideas on this. Looking at only using the tab button to move from field on main form to fields in subform and then to fields on another subform within the same main form. Any sugestions would be greatful!! Thanks muchly Navyguy

Hello To All I have searched this area for a similar problem that I am having and found a similar post. Link below. http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34648&highlight=tab+order What I wouls like to know if there is a better way of doing this? I can't see a...

"You will also see that over a net connection you don't want to base forms on entire tables, just use queries the have criteria to restrict the amount of data that travels accross the net." Wayne I am not sure what you mean here...I have been trying to use forms and have limited them data...

This is interesting, I just came up with the same understanding that you just posted. Chris please take Mile’s advice, learn about normalization as early as possible, I believe it is critical and there are tons of smarter people in this forum that have told me it is critical. Of course what I...

So... I went away and researched option groups, and I found out that they are “Great”. To bring this back to normalization, I can see where the option group only enters one piece of data regardless of the options thus conforming to the principles of normalization. I guess my next...

Front End? I have been reading several posts on front end/back end. I have tried to find out what it is but can’t seem to get a clear understanding. Please tell me if I am correct… You have to separate databases that are connected together; The “Front End” only has the forms, reports...

So of course that makes total sense Pat. So what about the "Full", "Some", or "None"? Could the same practical format be applied to meet the normalization principles when 3, 4, 400 options are chooseable? (not sure if that is a word…) Again this could be just my limited report knowledge...

Right then...With what I have been reading (just a short time), there are no exceptions to the rules. Whether it is user entered text data or yes/no tick boxes. So what I am thinking is what if the report, call it "Report Card" is a format that cannot be modified drastically and the...

1NF, 2NF, Etc After reading several posts and articles, I think that I am actually getting a slight grip on this subject. My question(s) is/are... If I have a field that requires a tick for either yes or no, does that violate the normalization rules? Example: A student report card must show...

Thank-you for your response. I did some quick research on your answer and I have determined that I am slightly out of my league here!!! The db is an existing one that I am trying to make more useful and the focus/design is on the task and not really on the staff. In fact in many cases the...

I am quite new at this Access 2000 so I hope I can understand your answer...here goes the question My db is for employee tasks and in my table I have a "report number" field as a (PK). Along with some other fields I fill in the following fields of the same record: Surname Surname2 Surname3...
