Well what you do is issue serial numbers from a way that guarantees a sequence (I prefer a seed table to dmax, personally), and don't delete records. Instead of delete mark it as "ignore".

You mean to store and display the results, rather than extract the data? For my purposes, I am happy to just to save and display a text file. Anyway, the code was really to show how easy it was to use the querydef object.

You can iterate the queries (querydefs) and search for particular text. I use variations of this. This produces a report of all queries including the findtext text You can easily modify this to include multiple findtext values (such as your "from" and "to" requirements) Sub...

And yet, with Access, users are likely to find and use short cuts and cut and paste operations you never even new existed.

I don't think you can do this with an after update macro. You no longer have .oldvalues once the update has completed. You have to record/audit the changes before the commit, so the beforeupdate event. You also have to consider carefully what you are trying to do. If a person changes his phone...

It's better to make it foolproof, than find you got rogue data into your system. :D

I think there's 2 options. Either accept the data columns without checking, or specify the column headers. (Maybe this is importing a csv, rather than a spreadsheet.) For safety I like to check the column headers are what I expect. Especially as it's always possible that the spreadsheet my...

Do you mean design changes, or data edits? Edit - looking at the previous thread, I take it data. Do you mean reverse the change after the edit and update has taken place?

And from the sound of it, they already have a working system.

@Technics You don't do a night shift do you? If you have employees clocking on at 6pm say, and finishing at 2pm, you now have different days for each time stamp, and this will need to be taken into account.

Or Remove 64 bit office, and install 32 bit office. Part of this is caused because MS used to install 32bit by default, and now installs 64 bit. As I just found out, it's very difficult to remove 64 bit in order to install 32 bit. It just said "cant install 32bit". It didn't offer to...

It's good to see a lot more answers on this, but I thought the real question the OP was asking is whether the functionality of a commercial system would be better than the system that was already in place.

I've not read the whole thread, but surely a few product descriptions doesn't matter Add a column, number probably Mark the active items as 1 Mark the archived items as 2 Mark the redundant items as 3 Then you can cascade delete all of the "3" records, and any related records, deal with the...

Well runtime will crash instantly on any unhandled error. If you were getting errors on your old machine that you could recover from, you will not get that opportunity to resolve the problem with run time. You are OK running well tested apps on run time, but you still really need a...

If you split the database, your users don't need to add any new forms. They just replace the old front end with a new front end. If you want to add new data to their backend, you can give them a single process that inserts all the new data for them It would just look like the way an install...

But didn't you say you don't have Access installed on the new PC. (#14) How can you be running an access database?

@BlueSpruce Congrats on your steady weight loss though. How long has it taken you to lose 50lbs? (y):)

It's funny. I don't know whether it's curbed my appetite or whether it's just reminding me to make better choices. I know if I'm dining out, I don't feel like I need to take multiple helpings of fries, and I don't hunger for things I used to like peanuts. However it's certainly making me need a...

How long. I am in my third month. I lost 9lbs, 1 pound, and maybe 4 pounds so far, so about a stone altogether. Only 2.5mg.

You mean you are getting errors on your old PC then? Has anything changed?
