    Condtional Format Quirk

    Thanks for the reply. I have been trying to use the IsDate function to test weather it is a date first, but I have never used IsDate in conditional formatting before. If I do IsDate([MyField]) in conditional formatting and set it to green the test works (only the records that are dates show up...

    Condtional Format Quirk

    Ugh. I hate asking for help but google isn't solving this one. This DB is connected to a SQL server table. The table is tracking oil samples that have been taken for equipment. The field is data is coming from an IIf() statement and that may be my problem. The reason it is an IIf() is because...

    MS One Note

    I am yes, i have placed it on my desktop at home and even on my android phone. It syncs between them all but on my phone I prefer evernote or google keep.

    Can this be possible

    I am sure someone will have a better solution, but you could just keep the form locked down. Create a button labeled 'filter' or something.

    In dire need of help!

    Just leave your query as is. Go to the ribbon and under design click 'totals'. Select 'group on' for all of your columns except the one you are trying to sum. Change that grouping option to 'sum'.

    Odd issue with Forms

    I had the same issue when our office upgraded from Access 2007 to 2013. I had to create a new connection to the SQL Server we were using. The 2007 connection file that was created previously would not connect correctly, not sure exactly why. It was easier for me to create a new connection rather...

    Unique values will not work with all the fields you have chosen, because the MR# values are the same, but the rest of the fields are are actually all unique (the dates and such).

    Query result can show in list box, but not combo box

    You could use a continuous or "multiple items" subform to display that data. If you want to limit your result quantity just go into your query and change it to select top (20).
