I use Adaware, which was highly recommended. I also use Norton Antivirus too, and have no doubt that I've probably caught a virus from soewhere and that is what 's causing the problem... I will try to boot up in Safe mode, but again, I kept geting the loop last night wnever I selected Safe mode...

Thanks for the response Minkey, but I don't have spycatcher installed. I will try your other suggestion about a system repair when I get home tonight, it just might work. But even if it does work, how can I prevent this from happening again?

I tried to log onto my home computer last night (I have Windows XP Home edition) and couldn't get past the logon screen. It seemed like I was caught in a loop because the computer kept going back to the screen where you can choose the Safe mode--along with some other choices that I don't...

I have a form that is pulling data from two different tables... we'll call them Table A and Table B. Most of the fields on my form are from Table A, but there is one field on the form from Table B (it's a Memo field), that I've included as a combo box. While the combo box field works okay on...

Actually, I've used Combo Boxes in reports for quite some time now, so they can work as long as you map them to the correct Control and Row sources. I'd just like to figure out a way to make them grow so that they will expand to display ALL of their data without having to resize the box. The...

Good afternoon, Now I'm not sure whether this probelm is with my report or in my query, so I am posting in both areas. On a form in my database I've included a look-up field that reference data from anoher table (i.e. the main data on the form comes from one table, and the "look-up" reference...

I think I already know the answer to this one, but here goes anyway: I want to change a field in my report into a Combo Box but in previewing the report, all of the data doesn't show up in the Combo Box field. So, my question is: Can I make it grow? The "Can Grow" option doesn't appear in...

Good morning, We just switched to Access 2003 (from 2000) last week, and now none of my reports will open. Everything else works fine, I can open tables, queries, forms, etc., but I can't even open a report in Design mode. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it an Access 2003 quirk or am I...

Thanks for your response Jon K, but it didn't work. I followed your suggestions but now get an error message that says "The value you entered isn't valid for this field." Any other help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Earl

Good evening all, I have an Activity Date field in a query and was wondering how to show all activities that happened both on and after that date? In the Activity Date field of the query grid, I’ve typed in [Enter Date] in the criteria cell. So, for example if I wanted to know everything that...

Just wanted to say thanks to those of you who responded to my plea for help, I appreciate it. I did find an answer under the TABLES forum, where I posted the same question. Thanks again!

How do I change a date entry in a text field to an entry that more resembles an actual date? I've inherited a 2,300 record database where dates have been entered into a text field. The format for these dates is yyyymmdd, or 19960101 for January 1, 1996. Is there an easy way to change the data...

Thanks for your response Pat, but I should've explained that my sub-headings are all Combo Box lookup fields that do not have "CanGrow" or "CanShrink" properties. What I want to do just may not be possible, but thanks for your help. I am still open to any other ideas...

I have a report that includes main headings, and may include 10 sub-headings that will be listed underneath each one. I want to be able to print this report and include only those sub-headings that are populated, leaving out the blank spaces for those sub-headings that are not populated. I...

Thanks for responding but I have gone over the sub-form's properties several times. I must be missing something but I can't figure out what it is. There is no property that says something like "Make read only - yes or no?" Does anyone know if there is something similar in the properties section...

I have a main form that displays departmental information, and a sub-form within it that will be used for the data entry of departmental business records. In testing my forms, for some reason whenever I try to enter data into the sub-form portion of my form, I get a message that reads "This...

Thanks for your rsponse, I actually just figured it out yesterday and used the GroupHeader to get exactly what I want. Thanks again!

I've designed a report that, when printed, sorts into various categories. A category can be a single page long, or several pages long. Whenever a new category starts, it also starts printing on a new page. I've also designed an "approvals" portion that I want to appear on the last page of each...

I am trying to join multiple text fields and have used: =[Field-1] & " " & [Field-2] & " " & [Field-3]. Now this works, but my problem is that each of the fields that I want to join has multiple columns, and I only want to show selected columns for each one. Any ideas on how I can do that...
