    Trying to export. Error: Database or object is read-only.

    I had a similar problem several years ago (Access 97) when a company switched from NT to Novell for their network servers, and we had to convert our long filenames to short filenames to fix the problem. Any file path that would be the same as either a long or short filename worked fine, so it...

    Try something like this: Sub DeleteAllTables() Dim tbl As AccessObject Dim lngTotal As Long For Each tbl In CodeData.AllTables 'delete all but the system tables If UCase(Left(tbl.Name, 4)) <> "MSYS" Then DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, tbl.Name lngTotal = lngTotal + 1...

    Numbering

    You might try using Mod to test for page breaks, such as: lngPlace = lngPlace + 1 If (lngPlace Mod 60) = 0 Then Me.txtPlace = 60 Else Me.txtPlace = (lngPlace Mod 60) End If VBSlammer "You just have to know which screws to turn." - Professor Bob

    Need function to import Several Separate Workbook Sheets

    Need function to import Several Separate Workbook Sheets

    The secret here is to rename the fields in your table to the default values recognized by the TransferSpreadsheet action, i.e. "F1" for field 1, "F2" for field 2, etc. Once you do that, you can loop through the workbooks and import the specified range without using an import specification...
