    Questions about subsetting on data

    I posted this on the Reports board, but now I am thinking this is probably more of a query question. I have not developed any database yet, but I am preparing. I will have a table that contains test number, date tested, test answers and test scores for every subject. Each subject will take the...

    Questions about subsetting on data for a report

    I have not developed any database yet, but I am preparing. I will have a table that contains test number, date tested, test answers and test scores for every subject. Each subject will take the test 3 times at different times of the year. For those who do not pass test #2, a retest will be...

    E-mailing a report with a restricted menu

    My user wants to be able to e-mail reports to people who request them. In the startup menu, I set it up so that users do not have access to full menus. As a result, the 'send to' option is not available to the user under the 'File' menu. Is there another way the user can send reports as needed?

    Trying to avoid lots of empty space

    I currently have a main table with all person information such as name, id number, phone number, etc. A given person belongs to one of 3 groups. I have set up tables containing relevant information that is specific to each of the 3 groups. I have set up a query that brings some information...

    Can you choose where you save your pivot table?

    I created a pivot table for one of my users and now want them to be able to refresh and save the table whenever they want. The problem is that their changes don't get saved. I don't really know much about pivot tables beyond creating them and refreshing them, but I did some testing. My user...

    I want to change the table structure after data has already been entered

    Specificallly, I want to reduce the field size for a number of fields. The values that are currently in the table will not exceed the field size I want to change it to, but I am wondering if it is possible that I will lose data if I reduce the size. I would rather not change the size if data...

    Hi Jennifer, Maybe you can set the default value of each box to their respective PLU numbers, if the field is numeric.

    Combo box not finding record (sort of)

    Jennifer, It takes me to this part of the code: Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[ID] = " & Me![Combo205] I didn't step through the code because honestly I can't remember how to do that. I learned it in class a long while ago. I'll have to rummage through my books at home to find out. I created...

    Combo box not finding record (sort of)

    Simply setting 'limit to list' to yes worked. Thanks Jennifer. I guess I should look at all of my properties more carefully. There is one more thing that I can't resolve. I have some VB code written for an "After Update" event for that combo box. I did a little testing. I typed in an...

    Combo box not finding record (sort of)

    I ran into a problem with that. I sorted the list by last name, but if the data entry person only knows the person number (for confidentiality purposes) and tries to type in a person number (for more efficient data entry) that doesn't exist, Access does not give any warning messages. Instead...

    Combo box not finding record (sort of)

    My form is based on a query. The query pulls first name and last name from table 1 and the rest of the fields from table 2. The form has 3 combo boxes at the top: one for the first name, one for the last name, and one for an ID number. The bottom has text boxes with fields from table 2. When...

    My other question about related forms

    I have two forms that are set up as follows. The user can open the first form via the switchboard. The first form has a button which takes the user to the second form (this is the only way to get to the second form). Anyhow, the user has the ability to select a person by their ID number on...

    Populating text boxes only after selecting value from a combo box

    I have a form that allows the user to either select a person in the database based on their ID number or to add a new person to the database using a combo box. When the form first opens, the form is automatically populated with values from the first record in the table. What I want is for the...

    Tab Order: My fields are missing

    I know. It's not pretty. I did find a solution. I just deleted the missing fields and recreated the text boxes on the form. Once I did that, they appeared in the Tab order list so actually it doesn't have a limit of 150.

    Tab Order: My fields are missing

    I am trying to establish a particular tab order for my form. Five of my 155 fields are missing from the tab order list. They appear in the field list, however, and when I tab through the form, the cursor indicates that they are last in the tab order list. I just can't find them!

    Need help with Docmd.OpenReport options

    Ian, Thanks for the suggestions. I tried adding Date() to the query again as you suggested and it worked this time. I think the problem was that I used the criteria for the form and not the report - my mistake. I left my code below the same except I changed Integer to Byte as recommended...
