I am modifying a data base to work in the present rate of VAT 17.5% but will need to change to 20% in the near future. As far as I can see the only ways there are to store a single value is to store it as a default number in a control or as one number in a table. The number in a default value...

I am creating a form with a default view i.e Continuous Forms. I have designed it with labels in the header section and fields in the detail section. The labels do not appear on the form when I return from design to form view and I cannot find a way of ensuring that they do. There is nothing...

This is excellent it will be a great help.

I am trying to modify an access database I assembled 2 years ago. There are several fields in the tables which are no longer required. Is there any way to delete these fields so that the deletion cascades through any queries or alternatively quickly tracing the occurrence of these fields in any...

I have been installing software called Family Historian which builds a family tree. The software is developed by company called Calico Pie. It places a directory in the C/Documents and settings/All users/Application data/Calico pie/Family Historian Family Historian works fine after...

It isn'y very encouraging to find there is so little interest in Open Office database. Has anybody out there constructed a OO datbase system for their business which they are satisfied with.

This is probably theoretical rather than practical as I think the majority of answers will be don't do it - start from scratch. But what does anyone think about cleaning an old XP installation i.e deleting and uninstalling all third part applications cleaning the system using registry cleaners...

An embarrassment of assistance from you all for a task I thought would be easy. I have done it before on a previous machines without any problems with drivers. However I ma going to leave this struggle for the time being and proceed with my video editing etc which I find far more satisfying. You...

These are SCSI drives - I found the information from the System. It will not ignore the request fro a floppy disc - it appears later asking for an OEM drivers disc specifying the A; drive as the input device.

The message is 'Press F6 if you need to install 3rd party SCSI and RAID drivers' The message comes up on the blue screen when it is installing the drivers for all the hardware. Motherboard is ABIT KV8 PRO The drives are MAXTOR 6 L200M0 SCSI Disc Device and ST 320082 6AS SCSI Disc device

I have to reinstall my XP from scratch using an XP CD which includes SP2. Part way into the installation it asks for a floppy disc with drivers on it. I have no such thing in the kit given to me by the vendor of the machine so I am stuck at this point. I have searched for a step by step solution...

Before I install MS Virtual Machine 2007 beta software there is a fix for AMD computers which have AMD-V installed and working. How can I find out if this is the case on my machine. I have an AMD Athlon 64 3200+. Any other tips for installing MS Virtual Machine would be useful.

A really interesting solution. I will try it out. Thanks. Don
