Hi guys I hope all are well? Im still lurking and trying to do bits on my db when I can. Weather is getting a bit rubbish now so will probably be doing more on the PC. Would someone be kind enough to point me in the direction of a good tut on subforms and tabbed forms please? I want...

Hi all just to let you know Im still hanging on and about, reading posts and doing bits for my hobby/service DB. I cant believe Im still working with and on Tables, nor how complicated my project is looking. For example, as part of my service I ask people a few questions about their horse. One...

Hi folks I haven't logged into the forum for a while. I've been really busy trying to get my garden sorted, despite all the rain! Wow there are lots of new posts! I hope everyone is well? Ani :)

Hi folks sorry to be dumb but Im really frustrated. Trying to put a simple combo box or drop down list on a form. I have followed these instructions (using wizard)- http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/access-help/create-a-list-box-combo-box-or-drop-down-list-box-HP005240581.aspx The form was...

Hi folks its raining here in Derbyshire, again. We're not having much luck with the weather but I suppose that depends on if you prefer rain to sunshine? The wet weather so far this year has been an enormous help to my horse, she has plenty of good lush grass on her pasture, which is putting...

Hi folks can I be lazy with form design? I have a query, designed a form. Works fine. I want to use the same query and form layout (will have different property settings) but do not want to create a new form and re-do the layout. Please can you tell me if there is there a way to copy the...

Hi folks Hope everyone had a good weekend? It isnt raining this morning! I want to work on my db but the little chickens shed needs re-felting before it rains again! Just hoping a spell doing something practical will give enable the 'start' button on my brain to reappear! Ani

My old Labrador is pretty deaf now, she cannot hear me call her or tell her to 'go on' after I put her food down. Deafness like that would make a person pretty frustrated but she doesnt seem to be very bothered about it. I am thankful that when I trained her I always reinforced voice commands...

Hi Guys Im trying to understand how the Lookup on a form works. MS Access help file is not helpful! Field is 'Title', so just need Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms, Dr in the combo box or list box. Ive got as far as putting an Unbound box on the form and typing in the salutations. And deleted it! Can you...

What keeps you sane? Ani:cool:

Sorry to be a pain guys! Im having one of those days today! I am making a hash of doing a query so I just deleted it to start again. Less chance of more errors, I think. Quick question though, the form was created from the query. So long as I re-create the form in the wizard as I had...

Ok so Im not the most technically minded person in the world BUT. And here goes a whole load of moaning, why do Human Beings assume so much..."it is just Human Nature". No it isnt! It is about making conscious choices of how you want to communicate with the rest of the species. It is about...

Hi Guys I have posted this in General because I dont actually know where I should look or ask about this. I have created a form for CustomerDetails via a query. As the entries such as Area, Town/City will be repeating data I believe I should have a lookup on the query. Do I have to manually...

Hi Guys Im getting lots of help which I really appreciate but I am trying to properly understand 3NF. Ive read Alans Relational DB link and looked at A Langers tutorials. TBH his tutorials confuse me! This is the clearest description of 3NF to me "Then, to be in 3NF, a table must be in 2NF, and...

Hi all I hope its not inappropriate to just post like this, I'm not asking any specific questions about Access but wondered how many people have gone through or are going through a similar process. I spend most of my time alone or with a 6yr old so it is a bit difficult to have a conversation...

Hi I found this useful for converting to an earlier version of Access. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/save-an-access-2010-database-in-an-earlier-file-format-HA010341553.aspx#_Toc258329153 Instead of 'Save As' you have to use 'Save and Publish'! Hope that helps someone! Ani

Hi folks Please can you help with my thought processes for my first ever hobby db. I have done the following: I have created 7 tables, one of which is a jctn table. I have joined the tables. I have normalised the tables and added LookUp parts to the fields with options. I have read about...

Hello everyone I've done everything the wrong way round, jumped in with both heavy hands on the keyboard, asked questions without really understanding what I wanted to know and which order I should be doing things in and I've posted a fair few questions without bothering to introduce myself...

Hi folks My Tables are created (with relationship joins) and Ive done my best to normalise them. Can you please tell me if I should I move on to create forms next or queries? Is it a matter of preference or are there reasons for doing either/or in a certain order? If there are reasons for...

Hi out there I think I need some words of encouragement! Im trying really hard to understand the logic of MS Access and failing! However Im not prepared to give up...its confusing, frustrating and totally addictive! I am going to bed trying to work out what Im doing wrong and waking up in the...
