I have a form with a querry as a subform, I only want the user to be able to edit 2 of the 4 items shown on the subform, but I can not find a way to protect data in a querry. This form is for teh mamager to approve multiple records on a single page, so the querry subform is the easiest way...

hmmm not a good sign although most of the popints that are listed as "evil" won't effect this application. I do need to restrice what can be placed in here. but i want it easily updated by an admin by just adding an entry to the "furniture" table. I guess i can vba code it. but if someone...

AWESOME the select distinct worked like a charm

I have a table that I am using as a lookup for a set of list boxes. the list boxes will cascade from 1 to the next. the first list box i need to only show each catagory once. the table has about 150 entries. but there are only 6 diferent catagories at this time. so i need to know how to...

I figured it out. I was clicking the box not the line for the acutal relationship. got it deleted.

OK now i see it. I also see why the relationship is interfering. but I can't seem to delete the relationship. I click the offending relationship and the 'X' delete button. and the relationship goes away. i click save. but if i "show all" again it reappears. How do I get it to go away and...

I need to change a field data type but when i try it tells me that i need to delete a relationship in the relationships window. but when i open the relationships window it doesn't show any.

this is going to take some work. I am unable to do a merge in this way because I am changing field types in the new database. some of the fields are LONG text fields, and I am making them embedded word documents, so I will have to figure out how to do this via VBA. So the question now morphs...

I have 2 tables, 1 contains a document number and several fields, and the other contains the document number and about 40 other fields. I want to merge the 2 tables so all the information is in 1 table. I have googled this but only seem to find cases where both tables contain the same...

Thanks for the info Thanks for the info. The tools options doesn't help, you are not allowed to use custom defined colors, and I have a corporate "Color" that i'm using. but the ability to add the "autoform" is awesome, and that is the method i am using. Lee

Is it possible to define a default font & color scheme for an access database? Something like a theme in frontpage I want to set a font, default font color and default background color for the entire database. The goal is not to have to set this information every time I create a new form...

I am creating a data input form in access. I am trying to minimize the learning curve by displaying a form that the users are used to as the background image and placing the fields on it in the design view. But when I display the form, none of the fields match to the background. Is there a...

yes you seem to understand what i need I need to embed the empty word document in the record when the user starts to add the record. so when they get to that field it's already set up as a word document to type in. Lee G. Weaver

I am new to VBA for access. I have done a small VBA project with excel but this my first attempt to do anything with access. I'm getting "The OLE object is empty" and I understand why. what I want to do is avoid this by automatically creating a word document and embedding it in the field in...
