    How do I show a selected item?

    I have a main form with several continuous subforms on it. These subforms are based on a selection of fields of a complete and editable form, so these subforms are overview forms so to speak. Whenever a field of a certain record is clicked, the other subforms show the linked data for that...

    Making cursor go back to the record I came from?

    I have a subform (continuous) which shows a summary of all clients basic data in a list. Clicking a client requerys and refreshes some other subforms so the accompanying data for that client is shown. Whenever I double click a record, the "main" window for that "object" opens. So say I double...

    The object doesn't contain Automation object X

    I'm getting an error message (informational only): This happens when I start entering data in the field "productname" of a subform. So I'm assuming something in the form or in the code of the form is referring to ClientID. but I've checked it, and there is nothing referring to it anymore...

    General understanding of relationships

    Please see the attached two files. I have tried to figure out what the difference in functionality would be between 1 and 2. In the latter I have just created a series of relations between the last two tables (but that structure could be used throughout the whole DB instead of hanging it...

    Rounding of numbers?

    I know I have read a topic which handles this... there was a piece of code in it too which makes access round numbers correctly up or down to the second decimal based on the third.

    Continuous forms record count

    I've only recently gotten to know about continuous forms and their use a bit. So for example, I used a maximum number of pre-defined (6) visits. I need to change that still, but during the development of the sales forms I already ran into a problem. At first I was planning to have a certain...

Up to now, for a whole lot of controls, I've been selecting them one by one (or "line" by "line"), and manually...
