    Access - SQL DB connections in Citrix

    We have an Access 2003 front end that is linked to an SQL backend (via DSN). The front end is published across 7 Citrix servers. When users start a session on (say) Citrix Server 1, all queries they run start a session on Citrix Server 7. Essentially, any user that starts a session on Servers...

    Returning the previous month form the control source property of a text box

    I Have a simple report that is based on a query. The report is always run on the first of a month and displays data from the previous month. I know that =Format(Date(),"mmmm") in the control source property of a text box will return the current Month in letters (example: July). Is there a...

    Show the average time in a report

    This is a slight curveball on what I have found on calculating averages so here goes. I have a function that I use in a query - it simply calculates the duration between two dates in Days Hours and Minutes. I have a report based on this query, which returns the results as desired. Is there a...

    Subform - how to have a default time but only when the record is created

    Figured it out. On BeforeUpdate event of the form Me.[Activity Date] = Now() This way, if someone advances to the next record or closes the main form, the Activity is still timestamped

    Subform - how to have a default time but only when the record is created

    Hi There, I have a subform bound to a query. I am timestamping what the user inputs into a field (Activity) so have a field (Time) that has a default value of =Time() formatted to hh:mm:ss. Unfortunately, it defaults the time even before the Activity record is created so when the person enters...

    Clean recordset on open form

    Played with it but it simply opens a new record for input (you have to open the form first). I actually don't want to create a new record. Just search records already there.

    Clean recordset on open form

    ok, so I have a form with an unbound combox in the header and two bound text boxes in the detail section of the form. I am simply using the form to lookup data (in the two textboxes) based on selections made in the combobox. All working fine except, when I open the form the recordset is loaded...

    Tab Control behaviour

    Gotcha! Very informative and has solved my issue. Certainly didn't know about the drag-drop v cut-paste. I thought I was going mad :-)

    Tab Control behaviour

    I have a form that is bound to a query. On the form, I have inserted a Tab control. When I place controls in one Tab, they seem to replicate across all other Tabs in my Tab Control. I'm assuming this isn't by design else, what's the point in having Tabs. Oh, there are no subforms placed in the...

    VB/SQL using multiple criteria

    Unfortunately, this is not giving me the desired result. The groups are recognised but if I input the date to find all records with an exact match of '2003' I only receive two records with dates of '2004' (I know that there is one record for 2003 because I added it). If I only have one group...
