One of our suppliers has recently sent a piece of software for use with their product (too complicated to explain, but neither us nor the supplier are an IT company). The 'OS' as they call it uses Adobe Air2. It downloads Air2 from the internet before installing it. I've not had any problems...

The Workcentre is set to A4 paper size for the bypass tray, I want to print on A5 and I would've expected it to autodetect, but it just tells me to put A4 in. I've been all through the settings in Admin mode and it wont let me change it. I'm beginning to think there may be a fault with the...

We have just been upgraded to Office 2010 at work and I'm adding some percentage calculations to a spreadsheet. However I have noticed if I recalculate a percentage that I had previously done in 2003 it gives me a completely different result.....any ideas???

Good morning. I have 40 workbooks, all different names with different data. I would like to have them all in 1 workbook in 40 worksheets. All of the workbooks are in 1 folder, the new workbook will be newly created. Is there some code to do this? Thanks muchly

I have 'contacts' form with a combo box to quickly navigate to an entry - I want the combo box to go back to 'blank' once it has taken me to the desired entry. How do I do this.

I am again being a bit dim..... I have a simple Employee Database that contains a datasheet with names, depts, ext numbers, emails etc; and a form to show each employee + details individually. On that form I want to put a combo box listing employee names that will make the details on the form...

I had problems with my DB a while ago and after MUCH debugging and searching found that this 'officelifeboathang' was an Office 2007 problem with no solution offered from MS. Does anyone know what the problem is and how it can be fixed? I seem to be having this error again when trying to open...

I have a form with several multi-select listboxes. I had populated the listboxes from index type tables and the values where there how I wanted them. However I had to change the tables and do quite a bit of work to make some queries work. Now all of my listboxes just show the primary key...it...

I'm finally getting to grips with this normalization business (!). But what I need to know is exactly how far down do I need to split my main table. Below is all of the field names with a brief description of how many entries there are likely to be for each etc etc. As I'm completely obviously...

It's been a good few months that I've been away from the world of Access, and I get rusty quite quickly!! I can't understand what's wrong with this query though - if I open it via the query, and choose to leave all of the parameters blank, then it works - it returns all possible outcomes. If I...

Simply, I need to know if I'm barking up the wrong tree before I start....

It's Monday morning, I've had 4 hours sleep and I haven't done much Access work for the last few months! For some reason my brain has given up with me and I'm struggling to get back into it! Plus I've never actually synchronized a combo box before.... Anyway, is it possible to synchronize 7...

Does anyone know if there is a way of paying the £22 'administration and P&P' charge without having a credit card? I've been excitidly waiting for payday so I could order my upgrade and now I've been hit with this! Argh! I'm really unhappy...I feel I've been totally mis-sold a laptop with 'free'...

I have several spreadsheets that contain the data for my database. The data needed cleansing so it was sent out to the relevant people to do this. Stupidly I thought the spreadsheets would track the changes for me but have since realised that because they were emailed out and back this didn't...

I have an entry form. I need to print off 300 copies with each one having a unique number. Apart from this they will be exactly the same. Is there I can do this without a hell of a lot of manual work(i.e. creating a 300 page document or changing it and printing it 300 times)?

I have developed my DB in Access 2007, it links to Word 11. When I just try to open the DB on another machine which has an earlier version of Word I get an error message; something about Missing reference, 'MSWORD.OLB' version 8.3. When I look at the references on my machine there are none...

As title. I'm really really confused and a bit miffed as I thought I had the hang of this. I have split my DB so now have the front end and back end but need to edit the design of a form. But I can't edit it in any format I've tried - accdb or accde. What have I done? Should I have an...

I have packaged my DB so it can be used on any computer in the company. I have then tested it on a few computers. It works fine on two but on one of them my main switchboard form does not pick up the autodate. Is this an issue with the DB or with the computer? It's running XP Professional.

Currently both my FE and BE are saved on a network. My database is used a reference type thing - users will just choose options and export data. There's no editing involved. Would it still be a good idea to create a different front end for each user? These would still be saved on the network...

As title. I want to minimize the Access window so my end-users just see the nice spangly forms I have made for them. I'm oh so close now.
