This has probably been asked MANY times before, but I can't seem to find a thread on it. Right. I have a table with fields in it called 'Current Stock' and 'Stock Used'. I don't know how this happens, but I want to enter a number (via a form) on 'Stock Used', and have that number deducted from...

Ok, this is going to make me sound really stupid. When any query-based form which reqiures a user-input parameter runs (i.e. searching for a name or something similar) it brings up a parameter box. If a user decides they then do not want to open this form, and clicks on cancel, how can I make...

Hey all, I'm designing a database that tracks conveyancing cases for a local solicitors. They want to be able to mail-merge client names, addresses etc in to template letters (already made). However, the only way of doing this that I can find is by selecting the table, then choosing mail-merge...

Right, sorry about this but I still don't understand. I'm designing a database to track conveyancing cases for solicitors. All I want to do is open the central form from the switchboard. This central form is opened by clicking on a command button (is this the 'event' you mentioned?) which runs a...

Uh...I hate to sound stupid, but I'm not entirely clear on what that means. I put in the if .recordcount <1 then msgbox "No records are available" line of code (although I had to take the period out), and a message box pops up saying 'no records are available'. Problem is, it comes up with...

Hey y'all. I'm trying to do a database for A-Level coursework, and I can't find anywhere how to get an error message to appear when a user type information in to a parameter box that is not matched in any records. It must be really simple, since many people must want to do it. All I get is a...
