    Question Shortcut no longer works

    Our database is split, and my shortcut has been working just fine for years (going through the program to the .mde and on through the workgroup). But since installing a new hard drive this weekend, the shortcut is broken. The names of all of the files and the drives and etc. are identical to...

    How much security do we really need?

    Our db is ready for use, replacing the former dBase system. There are only two of us in the office - I am the db developer and the GM will use it to update records and print reports. This is easily accomplished from the Switchboard (so he doesn't ever need to see anything else). The db...

    Subform calculation includes ALL subform items

    I'm sure this is going to be obvious, but right now I am stumped. I am also very new to Access and learning as I go. I am calculating a field on the subform, then using 'sum=' to adding them together on the subform footer. But the result ends up being the total of all of the subforms, not just...

    Question How can I set up different batch sizes for recipes with the same name?

    I am working on a db for a chemical manufacturing business. We primarily want to be able to determine the cost of each recipe, and determine which finished products contain any given raw material (so that when there is a price increase, we can determine which products will be affected). We...
