    I have three forms: Form1 that contains subform1 and Form2 which is totally separate. Form1 contains a listbox that I use as a search form.

    What to do with archive data, e.g. library book check-outs

    In the case of a system that keeps track of checking in and out (e.g. library books), where is the archive data stored? If a person makes 30 trips to the library, obviously one record will be the current visit - but where do you keep the 29 other visits? Do you create a separate table for...

    Is there a minimum height to a text box?

    I shrunk down some text to 8 and 9 point, but it seems like there is a point that the text box won't get any shorter, regardless of how small the font actually is. Is that correct?

    I have a series of nested reports and they work all the until the final report. If you open rptLineSheet2, you'll see there's only a few records with no repeats. If you open rptLineSheet, you'll see that the subform repeats itself based on how many records are contained within it. I've...

    I have a report with an embedded subreport. It's set up in two columns, ordered across then down. My problem is when column 1, row 1 section is taller than column 2, row 1 section. It creates a lot of extra white space as I fill in the rest of the report. Is there a way to eliminate that...

    How to handle field that's usually a number - sometimes "NA"
