    Solved New detail records being added despite disabled button in master form

    @BlueSpruce What is the business driver for employees to enter these contracts? Is this something that management can control with proper rules? I am guessing someone is doing this to pad their pay. If this is true, proper response from management should be termination of the employee for...

    Table Design and Efficiency Help

    @mfk5331 I would make sure exactly how they want to track statistics for KPIs. Normally instead of saving a "Shift" in your values, you can either store each value with the date/time it was entered (say amount of a sale) or a date/time for each shift start so you can track statistics from one...

    Form with subform in transaction

    @OP, A couple questions that may dictate your approach. 1) Do you need to associate physical items (inventory, vehicles, what not) to a given transaction? If yes, you'll need to work out assignment and roll back if the customer doesn't go forward with the transaction. This pretty much requires...

    Solved Multi-Select List Box, Distinct Values

    Easiest way is to make sure your source is distinct. Not sure what you are really trying to do with this as it looks like you are parsing out part of field after selecting. Is that something you could break out before creating your list?

    Solved Email current record for form

    As an option, you can create your "Repairs" as a text string. You would then pass your string as the last parameter. This would allow you to skip creating an attachment. Something like strBody = "Tenant " & frm_repairs.Tenant & " in building " & frm_repairs.TenantAddress & vbCrLf & _...

    How can I read newly received invoice files without having to re-read the old ones?

    Were this to be me, I'd copy in the contents, process, then mark each file as "Read Only" and "Hidden". That way you can't copy over them and you don't get them in your list next time you run through.

    Oikophobe: Word of the Day

    Isaac, are you referring to the Spanish in Novella's or the Spanish in the street? They can be as different as the Spanish spoken in Puerto Rico VS that spoken in El Salvador. Due to immigration, even the Spanish in LA is different than the Spanish in Tijuana. Spanish is about as mixed as...

    Question on Comboboxes

    This SCREAMS to me that you will want to have a child table that holders Address. This is where you can specify the Company name, the First/Last name, the attention line, and any other relevant information. For an order, you then select WHERE the order is delivered.

    Reducing foreign visa tech workers

    Best one was from an instructor who used to work here. He'd refer to himself as a "hardware installer". People in his field knew exactly what that implied and appreciated his humor.

    Only issue I've ever had with bar code readers is some don't include a return or CR/LF when scanning. Just something to keep in mind and warn end users during product setup for their scanner.
