hootie318 Of course its possible! And not that hard either. I assume that the numbers in the date columns are hours worked. I also assume that you want to be able to print out a list of each drivers logged hours. I would build an entry form with a combo box asigned to the driver table. (when...

Hi I have set up a database for printing invoices. I want to use a dot matrix printer with tractor feed. The invoices are carbon copys. 5 x 7.5 I have set up a report wich prints the information properly, but.... after the print job is done, the printer shoots out what it thinks is a 8.5x11...

Laura Thanks for the reply! Yes, I set the paper size to custom and sized it. Now when I enter my data the white part that you type in is small, but when I print, it still advances the paper as though it had an 8.5x11 sheet. :) Tom

Hi I have a tractor feed printer. I have some invoices that are about 5 inches long. When I print an invoice, the carriage addvances as though it had a 8.5 x 11 paper in it. I want the carriage to stop at 5 inches, not 11. Where would this setting be? Thanks Tom

Hi I have vb6. I am trying to build an Installer Console. You know, the ones you get with, say a new printer. You insert the cd and the Installer Console pops up and asks if you want to install all kinds of other stuff that you don't want. I want my Installer Console to work like this.... 1...

Andy Thanks a bunch! Tom

Thanks for the reply Spacepro! I get an error... I'm just getting started with flash and have really been lost. Does this error point to something else? Thanks Tom

I am trying to build a switchboard in flash. I would like to have buttons on the page that can open another program. example: The flash page opens. The user clicks a button, then flash closes and an Access Database opens. I can build the buttons but I don't know how to get the button to open a...

Andy Thanks for the reply!! My program generates chm files. Could you be more explicit about 'creating the public function shellexecute'? I'm new to this concept. Thanks Tom

MStef Thanks your for the reply! What I had in mind is something a bit different. I have built a help file using a program called ccviz/Helpmaker. It is its own program. It has the nice blue dot with the white question mark in it for an icon. To be more precise, I want to open an outside...

Hi I have a little help program that I made with ccviz/Helpmaker. (its quite a nice program) Now I would like my users to be able to open it from a menu inside my Access database. Where do I start? Thanks Tom

chilei Consider using cascading combo boxes. The first combo box could hold your course types. The second combo box could hold the names. The second combo box short lists using the first combo box as criteria. Your access help may have a bit about that. There is also a download here...

Dmeid You can make a custom menu bar option. You could call it 'Tables' or something and fill it with your table icons. As far as using a combo box in a tool bar. I don't think you can. Tom

daniel I wish I could be of help, but I'm lost. Hopefully someone else can answer this one. Tom

daniel It sound to me like there may be some type of formating being applied. First letter upper case, all letters after lower case. Maybe. Can you check the code? Tom

Paul I thinks splitting the front end is worth a try. I would guess that that would speed up each machine that is using the front end. If you split the backend, there may be some network advantages, as far as retrieving data, but the front end still has to write to both backends possible...

Hi I have the access window minimize in the start up. The form has several labels on the form. When I move the mouse over the form, the labels flicker, even when they are set to visible = false If I maximize the access window, this stops. I also tried changing the labels to texboxes with the...

Thank you for the replies I think KenHigg is on to something. Here's a quote from Ricky Hicks... So I entered this.... mydate: DateValue([date]) Then in the criteria I entered... Between [forms]![frmSwitch]![StartDate] And [forms]![frmSwitch]![EndDate] Thanks guys Tom

Hi In the criteria line I have entered... Between [forms]![frmSwitch]![StartDate] And [forms]![frmSwitch]![EndDate] This works except; If startdate is 9/7/04 and enddate is 9/9/04 I only get results from 9/7/04 to 9/8/04 No results for 9/9/04 Why is this? Tom

Paul I'm guessing, as I have never had the chance to test this, but I would say the No Data method. ...because the dCount has to actually count every time. Tom
