Passing Values to a Form (calendar)

[CementCarver]

Matt,

I'm just downloading your revisions to my db. I'll take a look at it and see how you managed to transfer the date from the calendar form to the three fields in question.....

Man, it works like a charm.....!! I noticed that you put a submit button on the bottom, rather that the UserSelectDate you had in your db.

Mine seemed so simple compared to your tracking system and I will definitely review your code additionally to learn about sub form, and logging into a db.

Thanks again Matt.... I appreciate this...........Walt

Not a problem, i put that button there just so that you change the date if you clicked the wrong one. The best way i've found to learn is simply to view other code that does things similar to what you want to do and work out how its being done.
You will pick it up pretty quick.

If you want to read a book on it, i would suggest one of the Microsoft Access for dummies, they are a great source of information, covering everything from form design to advanced VBA coding, i have the access 2003 one and it helped quite a bit, and probably a lot cheaper than doing a course.

Matt,

I borrowed a Vb book from a friend, but it was way too complicated and I need to start from scratch.... so the VB for Dummies sounds about right for me.

I'm calling it a night............Walter

dont let the name fool you, its a good book.. They just make everything really easy to understand, so no prior knowledge is needed

Matt,

My client was very happy to see the calendar pick form and didn't have one other comment regarding the db. So I owe you one.

Plus my supervisor was happy too that the tool was delivered.

I'm in the process of looking up VB courses being offered here in Ontario, primarily Mississauga where I work. I find one that is a 100x hour course for $1500.00 Cdn. Not bad, I figure. Not sure if my work will contribute, but what the heck man, I can take this knowledge where ever I go.

My private email address is wdext@hotmail.com if you'd like to continue discussing topics of interest.

And again, thanks for your help.....Walt

ps. I'll be heading to the local book store for my own copy of VB for Dummies.
