    Storing settings

    (Seriously, I have no idea what I'd do without this forum. Thanks to all who continue to reply to everyone's queries!) I suppose this is a general design question. I have a number of settings and parameters - editable by the end-users - throughout my database. Things like SMTP information...

    Counting Records (and sheep?)

    Another question / yes indeed / some brilliant answers / that's what I need. Sorry, but it's been a long day. You can't blame an aspiring poet! Anyhow, I'm having trouble counting records. Here's the situation: For every person in my database, there is either zero, one, or two sets of...

    Subforms and security

    A quick dilemma to resolve in my continuing quest to produce a functional database: I have a main form, on which is a single subform. Based on certain settings chosen on the main form, the source object of the subform changes. This is all fine and good - under admin access. However, if I log on...
