    One or Two Backend DBs For Two Front End DBs?

    I'm with plog. Unless there is a reason to have 2 BE's. Don't just do it because there are two FE's. Easier maintenance. Don't need to compare and update or sync data from 2 BE's.

    Relative Reference for a picture in a form

    your code is in a separate module instead of being behind the form. Go into design view on your form and the event property for on current. Go into Code Builder, then copy all of your code there and delete it from your module.

    Create new field

    what happens if you do this? nFldType = dbText nFldSize = 20 I can't see how you defined your fields, but the field size should be an integer, not a string, so I removed the quotes.

    Data validation before update.

    The easier way to make your Serial field to be required is to set it in the table design. Or to set the Validation Rule & Text in table design.

    Error 424: Set xlApp = CreateObject ("Excel.Application")

    Do the other Access databases create Excel objects? See if you can do a repair of Office before a reinstall. I also like the suggestion of creating the Excel object in Excel or Word to see what happens.

    Help Connecting Excel and Access

    I'm trying to do what you're doing, but not getting the same prompts. Are you trying to get Access data into Excel, or Excel data into Access? The prompts you're getting sound like you're in Access, but why are you then choosing "From Access" instead of "From Excel"? Also why are you exporting...

    Filter ComboBox Options

    I have comboboxes that are alphabetized and I can start typing and it'll jump to the first record which matches. It doesn't eliminate to only those letters, like you're asking. But this is close. Is it close enough for you? This is the way it works without doing anything.

    Ignore the LostFocus event?

    I'm assuming that the order ID must have data in the field when you click the clear button. 1. If the orderID was blank this could be checked in the lost focus event and ignore the lost focus. 2. Or maybe clearing the ID and tabing out would cause call the clear button routine. 3. Maybe you...

    I'm not proficient at pivot charts, but to get data into Excel - Open the table/query you want to export data from>External Data tab>Export group>Excel and walk through the wizard.

    non-persistant odbc connection

    ellen, so your back end is hosted by someone else? then the wait timeout would be the amount of time from them receiving an instruction from your front end (the code/forms/etc) for them to process the response before they give up. In other words if you do a query of the data which takes over 60...

    non-persistant odbc connection

    You say you're not overusing it but apparently your tech support people think you are. I don't know how to stay connected when your networking people are booting you off by the settings they have. Maybe you could trap the error that occurs and reconnect? Sounds like the user will get frustrated...

    To Search Whether A Query In Use or Not

    Not to the best of my knowledge. Microsoft used to have a utility that would search through everything (including queries) for something you typed in. I think it was in the developers kit. But it was for Access 2003 and I don't think it made it to the newer versions. You could select where you...
