    New Estimate database

    Hi, I think in this reply you actually concede the need for additional tables e.g. "New List" = Estimates; "Client" = Clients I can see what you're trying to achieve but I think you need something above simple but less than super-complex i.e. you need the capability to build up Client-specific...

    Passing data between tables.

    OK ... just explain to me what the Originator ID is? Is it a unique code assigned to an Employee? It may also help to understand what the ECN table is.

    Passing data between tables.

    Just to clarify, you want to copy the record containing the three fields into the ECN table once they have been added to the to Employee table? Might first be worth taking a step back from this and consider why you need TWO tables recording exactly the same data ... not a particularly...

    Printing report in landscape & legal size

    New Estimate database

    That's an interesting project you have there. As a starting point I think you need several tables to form the foundation for a form designed to enter and manage unlimited Estimates:- 1) Estimate Headers with fields Estimate Number; Customer Code; Created Date; Completion Required Date...

    Question Query: tables w/ "same key" but different detail info

    You need to start by creating a SELECT query on the DATA table and use =trim(left([Market Code],3)) expression to truncate all Market Codes to just three characters only. The "trim" element will help eliminate any leading spaces in the Market Code. This Query can then be added into a fresh SUM...

    Data Import performance issues

    Hi Todd ... that code is a little above my pay grade I'm afraid! However what I can add is that we use MFGPRO here at work also, and regularly export TXT files that can then be read/linked into both ACCESS and EXCEL for subsequent manipulation and reporting.

    Rather than Import the data, would a linked table perform the same data availibility service to the Access database?

    Access Protection from resale and distribution

    I have in the past hard-coded a User Identity into a 'Licence' table that means when printing key reports it's clear whether the User is in fact the Licensee. Not particularly secure, and certainly doesn't prevent installation, but this seems to have proven pretty effective ... Combined with...

    Newbie Question

    Password

    An alternative idea ... assuming this database is being accessed by multiple users ... read the user's LAN ID and link this to a table that enables/disables the button?

    Table split ideas

    My quick thought is that the common link field, bearing in mind it's a Financial Budget, could be the accounting PERIOD be this a Year/Month/Week/Day or any combination thereof. No need to create meaningless additional codes.
