    Adding up CHECKBOXES - formulas in Word Forms?

    I can see an easier solution to this problem. Why not use an embeded excel worksheet which will do the number crunching for you. good luck

    Autoshape Problem

    I have had a look at your problem and suggest when you use the autoshapes that you place the order of them ontop of text and then change the opacity so that you can view the text. Tanya

    Question Not sure where to begin

    Hi I have a db I have been working on for keeping record of student competencies and guess what I want to do will involve maketable queries and intricate forms. The db works at the moment but it is very tedious selecting each student, then allocating units, elements, competencies. What I am...

    How to restrict users to open a mdb file in design mode?

    Paul Are you suggesting the Function ap_DisableShift() referred to in the webpage in my previous post is insecure? I am interested for myself because I was intending to use this solution on a database I am working on. I also lock the properties of my code with a secure password. Is this...

    Open Excel file from Access form, populating certain fields in the Excel file...

    Hi Michael While reading one of the responses to your problem it occured to me that you may be simply missing ".value" from your code. May I suggest you add this i.e. objXLBook.SaveAs ("C:\" & Me.LastName.value & ".xlsm") Good luck Cheers Tanya

    switching between forms

    Hi huskies, I am no expert by any means but it did occur to me that if you create a new combo box with a list you provide [i.e. yes, no] and then assign value to your table field in question you may have more success with the code you are using. Also just a thought you mentioned you were unable...

    Setting Text and combo boxes to not visible in a subform.

    I had a similar situation and got around this by not displaying the fields you wanted invisible to begin with. My form also allowed me to populate them through statements such as: Forms!Mainformname!SubformName.Form!FieldName = Forms!Mainformname!SubformName.Form!FieldName There is a copy of my...

    Hi Chris Thank you for your support. I hope you have good day at work. I have finally found success!! After fixing the problem with the lost link I deleted frmCompetency and recreated it, then all worked as planned. I am self taught so this project continues to be a steep learning curve for me...

    Hi Chris In an interesting development, the second statement does appear to work if you look at the table tblCompetency rather than the frmCompetency. I know it is rather strange but there it is. I think it has something to do with the lookup process. On a further note, after all this, it...

    Hi Chris If you look at the tblCompetencies you should see that the first statement actually works. In this latest version, I have added a statement to update performanceID which works [this time I left it on the form so you can see that it updates the correct field] Which brings me back to my...

    Update on Click

    Hi Chris, I appreciate your hanging in there for me. If you look at frmCompetency in design mode, you will see that SubjectID is a field which is accessed by this form and this is working even though I have not displayed it in form view. txtstudent is used purely so the user can identify the...

    Hi Stopher The first statement appears to be from what I can tell. ?? I'm not sure which form you were looking at to see this? The second statement like you said is looking at a missing table - couldn't work out how that could be, but have since rectified it. Still, I cannot see why the second...
