    HELP - going off my rocker??!!

    HELP - Going off my Rocker Yes it is exactly the same type of problem. It really shouldn't be that difficult to display all records in a subform - even blank ones but I have worked my way through all my Access and VBA manuals to no effect. Brian Jermain

    E-mail from Access 2000

    Thanks for the response Sean but perhaps I didn't explain it too well. What I am trying to do is attach the list box to the Outlook Address book so that I can select the persons e-mail address as an input to the form to be saved in the table. This will then allow me to do customer surveys on...

The tables that are being imported to are all set for...

    US/UK Date Formatting

    US/UK formatting I wish it were as simple as this. What I am trying to find out is if you create a table is it beneficial to retain the US format and only use the UK format when you are displaying in a form or report. In this way the base table will always be OK so that when the information is...
