    knda tricky question

    Figure this one out yet? I'm not able to download your sample, so I'm not sure how your report is set up, but if you have a group header, go to its properties. Under the format tab, in Force New Page, choose before Section. This should put each group on a separate page. Does that work...

    Hi, everyone! I want to make a message box that has these customized buttons: Print Preview Print Summary Cancel I've got a message box set up with the message I want, but it has vbYesNo as its button type. I don't know much about this, and the programming portion of Help is not installed...

    Average in Group Footer

    Found solution Hi, all. I found a solution. Whether it's the best solution or not, I'm not sure, but it works well so I'm going to stick with it. What I did was average a re-calculation of the DateDiff: =Avg(DateDiff("d",[DateFiled],[DateMailed])) And that does it for me. I also have...

    Average in Group Footer

    Hi, Tim Thanks for the response. I just tried DAvg: =DAvg("[FileToMail]","qryDeputy") ...and I get an #Error. (Have also tried without brackets) Question to you: If I get this right, will it still do what i need and just average the stuff in the previous group? The purpose of the...

    Average in Group Footer

    Hi, All! I'm trying to calculate an average in a group footer in a report. In my underlying query I have calculated a DateDiff, and this is what I want to average. I've tried using an unbound text box and using =Avg([FileToMail]), but it tells me my sql includes an invalid data type. So...

    Active fields based on dropdown choice

    Tom, How many choices are there for types of service? I've come across a similar situation and have used option buttons with a select case in the event sub which renders fields (and subforms) visible, invisible, abled, disabled, and all that. So if you only have a few choices, that may...

    Summary of Report - Count? DCount?

    Solution or Cheap Work-Around? After doing a lot of toying with the thing, I finally tried this: 1) I added ReportMonth and ReportYear fields to my form where the report was run. 2) I changed the criteria in the query to [forms]![frmChairmen]![ReportMonth] and ...[ReportYear] 3) I changed...

    Summary of Report - Count? DCount?

    Thanks, both of you, for your replies! Pat, I'm working on your suggestion of creating subforms, but I think I'm getting problems because of parameters I've set up in the query the main form is based on. Let me try to better explain: There are a number of Appeals Chairmen (and Chairwomen)...

    Date Conversion Question

    Okay, Mile-O-Phile, I tried out your code and it worked beautifully! Is there a way to do it for five different fields all at once? If not, then perhaps DJN's method is the way to go? DJN - haven't tried your method yet, but I'm just about to. Thanks for the response! :) --Sara

    Date Conversion Question

    Mile-O-Phile, Thanks for the reply! That was quick! Do you think you could tell me more about how that works? I'm still learning so I don't understnad where your numbers are coming from - where do I put the empty date/time fields? If I put them at the end of the table, would it not effect...

    Query returning some duplicate results

    Not a PHB, Thanks for the reply! I've actually sort of discovered what was causing the query to have duplicate results (I think). It had to do with other things I was doing to manipulate data. I don't really have any idea what was really going on, but I had changed how I went about some of...
