Thanks, HiTechCoach. Looking at the code, I'm pretty sure I can tweak it to make it work. I love how the writer says that the extra tricks "are clever bits I never want to have to figure out again". How true. I also got out my SQL book, which seems to indicate there might be a way to do it...

I haven't found the answer to this yet, so hopefully I'm not asking a question already answered. I'm an amateur, but I do Access fairly well. Background: I'm trying to import Excel spreadsheets into Access. At work, I investigate problems / issues of a medical sort, and when one happens...

This has been most obnoxious for me over the last day or so, and I'd appreciate any help people can give me. I have a database used to record the results of monitoring the Department of Health does of providers. Providers are monitored annually, so every record is identified by a provider name...

Just to save someone else a morning of searching: the 'in that order' is very important. I was going bonkers trying to figure out why the reverse - Chr(10) then Chr(13) - would return in my report as two boxes, a little like this: [] [] The reason was the order of the two chr. This is...
