    Mapping? Change Query? VBA?

    Duh! Never mind after I posted that I realized (DUH) that all I need to do is create a table with the grades, link, and pull from there. I guess I'm Access-rusty....:D Need to pull the cobwebs from the ol brain.

    Mapping? Change Query? VBA?

    Issue: We have software that maps some of our "custom" grades that we use locally to the state-specified grades when we submit. Ex: Grades PA and PP map to report to the state as PK. The data stays in our software as PA and PP however as it is needed that way. I'm trying to run queries...

    Orderby multiple fields

    Thanks for replying. This is a database created by someone else; I'd have to go through everything to remove the space. Tried the brackets with same results. Not doing the secondary sort (name).

    Report with multiple/range of parameter field

    Thanks pat for your response. The thing is - the criteria won't be selected from a list box. This will eventually be set up so that the user clicks a button and the report is filtered for the individual's departments (yes, some have several) and the email is automatically generated and emailed...

    Report with multiple/range of parameter field

    Hi all, Simple thing, but I haven't done it before. I've got some reports that the user can run for multiple criteria. One of the parameter/criteria fields is dept. They can leave blank for all or choose the dept. Works fine. What I'm now back to doing is designing a mass email of one of...

    Text box woe

    Thanks Rich; I tried but still getting a type mismatch error. Don't know why. If I put a number in the field (i.e. 457) I will get the standard error that the value entered isn't valid, but if I leave it blank I get a type mismatch. This is a text box on a form formatted as date. The query...

    Again, something simple tripping me up, or maybe I'm just brain dead. I have a text box on a form to filter the underlying query for a report when that report is selected to be run. I want to display a message if the field is blank. I've done this with combo boxes, etc. but with this I keep...

    What books are you using? A good basic introduction I think is the "new Perspective" series...takes you through hands - on. Doesn't delve a lot into programming piece I don't think, but worth it to just go through and do the projects as a beginning point. You can probably find them very...
