    me.controlsource not retaining value

    I have a unbound text box being used as a label. In the control source of the text box I have a date ie. =#12/31/2008#. I am using this date for criteria in a dsum function, so whatever date is in this field effects the data being displayed. I need to be able to have the user edit this date when...

    Conditional Formatting

    I must thank Bob as well. I've used the case statement before but never really compared it to the If statements. You are correct in it being much easier to manage. I just tried it out and it works great. Thanks again Bob. Gregg

    Conditional Formatting

    I am assuming that txt_pi is the name of the field on your form. Maybe try this: If Me.txt_pi = "FORBIDDEN" Then Me.txt_pi.ForeColor = vbRed End if

    Import received Data

    So is it best to have 2 seperate tables. One with Date shipped and the other with date received and use a comparison query to do reporting? Right now I just have the 1 table and the date received field is in it as well as date shipped. I wanted to see if there is some type of way to just import...

    Link record in subform to rest of form...

    I think this should work. I put code in the on enter in your continuous form to put the text in the upper field. I put the same idea towards the got focus event on your single form field. Gregg

    crosstab issue

    Disregard. I figured it out with doing multiple select queries. My brain hurts. I would give more details, but I don't even know how to explain it.

    Unable to create or edit forms

    I checked out download.com and they had a couple of tools available that may be able to help out. I have never tried it so I can't say how they work. Just type in mde to mdb and a few tools will show up. One in particular was called Modify Access MDE 1.6. Good luck

    Unable to create or edit forms

    Hold down the shift key before you enter the database. The designer probably disabled the ability to make changes to it and holding down shift will usually bypass it. Gregg

    Date =Now() - Update in edit mode

    In the properties of your text box, put the following in Default Value =Date() That will give you the date. If you want the date and time then put in the following =Now() Make sure your text box is bound to a table and it will automatically save once you update the record. Gregg

    Cbo and data entry Subform conundrum

    Ok, so I assume you are referring to another database that you are working on. Where do you want to see the result of this, on your form? Are you using subforms? Do you want to see it in a query. Some more info would help out. If you could attach the database would even be better. Gregg

    IF statements

    I'll give it a go, but i usually its easier for me to use the expression builder to get the right syntex. I think you actually have the code finished if I'm not mistaken. You just need to know where to put it in VBA. First you can put it in the On Current event. Go to the properties of the form...

    IF statements

    set your text box to whatever a field in your table so it stores. Then put your code in the On Current Event Procedure of the form, or maybe even the after updates of your fields that you want to trigger the rule. I'm new to VBA but I think thats what you can do for it to work.

    Cbo and data entry Subform conundrum

    I am assuming that you are refering to the text on the bottom in the status bar. If that is the case, each field has a property called "status bar text". You need to fill this in each propertiy for each text box. If thats not, I'm not sure what detail you are refering to.
