    Import from crazy Excel file

    Thanks, Sergeant, for the reply. I tinkered with your reply for a bit, but most of my time has been consumed with dealing with the hail storm we had here in Indiana. Alas, I couldn't get your solution to work for me. However, I found another solution late last night... TRANSFORM...

    Import from crazy Excel file

    No response in 12 hours ?? Perhaps I should have posted this in the Queries forum. I simply need to get the employee information in tabular format, rather than the columnar that it's in now.

    Notification-Cancellation of duplicate entry

    Hmmm....no responses yet. Well, below are my attempts to make this work. Here, I wanted the combo box for the Nominator to remain invisible unless the Award Type combo box has the word Peer in it. It works (sort of), but only if I leave the record, and then return. I'd like the combo box...

    IIF - help in query & labels

    mresann, thanks for the rapid reply. I pasted your statement into the query grid, but it returned an error, stating that there were the wrong number of arguments. What you wrote makes sense...I'm guessing that the punctuation may be off ?? Hoping for a reply :)

    Normalizing for Greyhounds DB

    Hi Kenn, Thanks for the rapid reply. Since some people already have more than one dog, does that mean that; 1. I'd have a table for Contact info 2. One table for each of dog 1 through 5 ?? Is there a way to set it up (perhaps in a query?) to have all 5 dog tables somehow linked, then use...

    Hi Rich, Wish it were that easy. Management wants to print 5 records per page. I've managed to do this. However, now they not only want 5 records per page, but if there are more than 5 records with the SAME contract number, they want those to print as a group; then page-break for the next 5...

    formating lost on import

    Pat, I agree this could be done. I was thinking of import errors. I had Excel data that I could not get to import properly. Access would generate import errors on this field, as it contained a mix of text and numbers on some records, and just numbers on others. I needed this field to import...
