Here's a name to add to the list...."Hermione". I've heard it's a common name in the UK, but as an American, I had never seen this name at all before picking up a Harry Potter book. At first, I thought the author had made up a unique name for the character. As i was reading the books, I had no...

Thank you! It worked perfectly! It's embarassing how much I've forgotten. Maq [americanflag] <insert witty signature here>

Hi everyone. It's been several years now since I've used Access and I've forgotten almost everything I used to know about database design. I'm trying to create a very simple database to track some statistics and I've run into a block that I hope is simple for most of you. I have a table...

This was the funniest one I've seen in awhile. "BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car!" Maq [americanflag] <insert witty signature here>

Perhaps the real question then is this: Which salad would you purchase? Orange Bliss: This salad made only at Joe's Restaurant always contains the freshest most delicious oranges you've ever eaten. The lettuce is always crisp, the almonds are great, but the apples included in the salad are...

I'm relatively new to this forum, however I believe grammar and spelling are very important in the workplace. You are referring to someone's speaking ability, however I deal more with writing and spelling abilities. We had a programmer in our department years ago. This guy had no contact with...

I don't have the syntax for looping through each control on the form off the top of my head, but basically you want to go through and set the properties for each textbox, combobox and listbox. Me!controlname.locked = True Me!controlname.enabled = false Maq [americanflag] <insert witty...

Well, generally reports aren't used for updating purposes. They are meant to print data. If all you want to do is update a table, then I would suggest creating a query to do this. That way whenever you just want to update, run the query instead. If you want a report and update, run the...

Hi There, I'm currently working on a trivia contest and I'm hoping someone in this forum can help me. The trivia question is &quot;The original designation of cores of apples per Motorola&quot;? I'm afraid I don't know much about computer hardware, but Tek-Tips has helped me solve a lot of...

That's just what I needed. Thank you! Maq [americanflag] <insert witty signature here>

Hi there, I'm a total UNIX newbie with what I hope is a simple question. What is the command to determine which operating system I'm running on? We are currently on HP 11.0, however our system had massive problems last night and I suspect that sometime during the mess we switched to a...

What data type is your Quarto field? If it's a text field then you need quotes around the 102. &quot;SELECT * FROM Hospede WHERE Hospede.Quarto='102'&quot; Maq [americanflag] <insert witty signature here>

Wow! [surprise] Thanks for the research Rick! Matf, I'm sorry for doubting you. I've never seen this behavior before. I've since tried a few more times to duplicate it in Access 97, and I can't. Remind me never to upgrade! Maq [americanflag] <insert witty signature here>

I'm glad you found something that works for you. Rick, please post back after you have a chance to try Matt's trick in Access 2000. You've got me curious now. As far as preventing users from looking or updating your data, you'll have to implement Access security for that. I can't advise...
