    Trying to show 0's where the record doesn't exists

    Hey! Thanks for the input. After leading me in that direction, I think I tinkered enough to get it to work. But that 'exist' clause was the missing ingredient, but QBE makes it look a little funny: [code] SELECT IIf(IsNull(DLookUp("Cost","tblQuoteDetailContractor","QuoteDetailID = " &...

    Table Security and Restrictions Problem

    I have 3 front ends, so I assume I'd have to do that on all of them. But now I hear that the Access db passwords aren't all that strong... Regardless, I'm sure it's better than nothing. With respect to the windows level login, I don't use windows for the actual authentication. I just use it...

    Table Security and Restrictions Problem

    I am using ULS and the login screen. In fact, for all users, the db username and the windows domain login are the same. So could I filter this on a global level? So lets say user jdoe opens up the back end and opens tblContractor. Could it automatically filter the table so that jdoe is the...

    Query showing Asian characters when string as Field

    Hey guys- I have a tabular query that is based off of a crosstab query. My problem is that whenever I try to add a string field to my problem query, it shows an Asian character (not sure which language) and a square. I know it's not corruption because I double checked the table and it's in the...

    Combobox to show filenames in a directory

    Hey- Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately in this case, the list is going to be dynamic so I don't think that will work. Was thinking maybe I could shell that command, make the file, and have it import automatically, but geez, that's a lot for a simple drop-down...

    Find form size in twips

    Weird....I must be doing something wrong. But you gave me an idea. Never really thought about letting the code do the multiplication for me...i was always calculating it manually and putting a single integer in there.

    Find form size in twips

    Hey guys- How can I retrieve the size in twips of a form window? It seems to always be a guessing game when I use Me.Move in vba to set a window size. I've tried taking the form's width property (inches) and multiplying it by 1440, as well as '?me.move' in the immediate window, but no luck...
