Hi, I am developing a database of volunteer drivers who are committed to a scheduled "duty" a fortnight. Because they are volunteers there availabiltiy can alter quite regularly. Put the case that Fred Bloggs identified that he will be unavailable from 11/10/09 to 14/10/09, again on 24/10/09...

WayneRyan, or whomever else, I am going to ask an even more fundamental question...Where do you actually put this piece of code that you gave legendv? Me.Memo = Now() & vbCrLf & strNewStuff & vbCrLf & Me.Memo Is it an event? I believe the effect will be exactly what I want but how to...

Dear Gemma-the-husky (Dave), Again many thanks - you are a mind reader too? A fine logical conclusion as to where I thought I may have to go in the future although this wasn't exactly the thought I alluded to earlier. Nevertheless, the notion yet again calrifies the "meaning" of some of...

To the last 3 muskateers - you bring good news. That has collectively bought a new day into my life and it is still afternoon here (South Australia if you are interested). All these little snippets are beginning to make the big picture a little more focussed. Believe me...the default setting of...

Leigh, Thank you too. I am indeed very, very much appreciatie of all this assistance being directed my way. A quick glance at the link certainly invites some intense reading. :-) Croco

Thankyou for your blessings and encouragement. There must be a marvelous mind meandering mischievously out there to keep a lot of people occupied. Do you think that this was the underlying scheme of things that Uncle Bill secretly started out to do all those years ago? I do thankyou and...

Thanks again...phew! How long does one actually have to dabble in this sort of thing before even just a small percentage of such wisdom begins to stick. Then again...I guess that's just it - "stick at it". Once again, thanks for the website - there is an awful lot there to get the head...

Thanks...the "Me " thing is a little clearer now. I understand that there is a subtle difference for the use of "!" and "." depending whether using Access derived VBA statements (the former) as opposed to those in setting parameters in form/report properties (the latter). Is that correct...

Hi, is there a ready explanation of the various property selections available. I have tried to understand the Microsoft Help within Access 2003 and I have so much difficulty grasping the lamguage/terminology. In particular the On Dirty property was proffered as a solution to a problem I had...

Re: Record updating Atomic Shrimp, are you suggesting that from a user level point of view that the Record/Refresh may be the better way to leave the form. And if not, can you please elaborate on the "on Dirty" property please? I have tried to follow the Microsoft Help on what little...

Hi, I did a check of properties of the form and found it to be bound to the table required. As an experiment I built a query including all the fields being used on the relevant form. In both cases I had to refresh the records in order to get a change to any field reflected in the table...

Thanks to All... In particular to "ajetrumpet" - the DETAIL I meant was the relevant field information. Once again - wrong language - sorry. Still a bit naive in the sense of the language. I'll chase the "bound" suggestion up and if I eed to get back to you for a clarification I shall...

Hi, I think I am about to ask such a fundamental question that if you mind doesn't flip i will be most surprised. When does the detail in a db table actually get "updated" after entries are made in a field? Is it only when the form is closed? Or is there a little trick that can be set in...

Thanks Banana, I think you have given a good range of options with which to progress. The hidden form may well be the way to go. In any event I shall have a wander around "sudit trails' as you suggest. Croco:)

Hi, Iam sure there is a simple explanation for this issue. I would like to know if is possible for a date to be stamped into record when a person closes an mdb. The purpose would be for a query to be made against this date to say the current date to determine if any new information has been...

To The_Doc_Man, So right you are. Thanks for the tracks you led me down. It is a little more complex than I described but, nonetheless, now that I have a better understanding of "how the clock ticks" from the many aricles availabe I can "confidently" get nearer my original objective...

Hi, hope someone is clearer in their mind than I currently am about security levels. I have just started into using Access 2003 nd built up a little data base which contains potentially delicate information about people's medical followup by a carer's group. Briefly, at this stage, I have a...
