I know you can output a form to a printer but is there anyway of printing it without the standard soft grey background, I know I can change the background to white but I would prefer to keep the form with the soft grey as it makes it much easier on the eye for data entry...........would a macro...
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction with the Zero/Null point......what I had done after I put in the calculations was take out the default 0 (Zero's) in the fields for easier data imput and so I needed to use the Nz function at the start of my expression to stop the expression...
Jack you are a Star......your turning out to be my personal mentor......I have spent all day today on my problems, I don't just jump onto the forum for the answers, otherwise I'll never learn......but it is a great relief when you find the solution......your help really is greatly appreciated
I have a calculations on a form that add up different objects on the form ie: =[Handling Charge]+[Packing]+[Delivery Cost] to give me a sub-total then further similar calculations and then finally adding the totals togther, it all worked very well but for some reason they have stopped doing hte...
I have an input form that has a control on it to create a new record, but what I'm finding is that when I tab through entering data when it gets to the end of the Tab Order it creates a new record, can I stop it doing this ?

Many thanks once again
Can I designate colours for each option in a combo box as you can with a Yes/No box, for example : Urgent in Red, Chase in Blue, Normal in Green, Non-Urgent in Orange and anything manually entered in default Black
What I have done in the end is create a new table and a subform with a Date and Type of Contact control, then placed the subform onto the main form with a control button that takes me to "View all contact records". I shrunk the display box down to reveal only the current record on the main form...
I am trying to re-create the Calls form used in the Contact Management template which is a Bullet Point datasheet with a single form containing detailed notes (Memo), all info is sourced from the same table. The nice touch it has is that as you scroll down the bullet points for each customer the...
