    How to use a unbound control to pass more than 128 characters

    I found the answer to my own problem. Instead of referencing the input box directly in my SQL statement, I set up a string variable and assigned it to that. Dim stNoteBox as String stNoteBox = [InputtingTextBox] Then, I also applied the replace command to allow people to put a ' in their...

    Usage of a Memo field

    I have a global notes file in my system for the users to type any comments they want in any area, and the program saves as much linkage data as possible so that the notes can be available in other areas of the program. My question is this: Are thousands of memo field records too inefficient...

    How to use a unbound control to pass more than 128 characters

    I have an unbound box that users can type in a note to save into the system. Then, they click on a button (Save Note to File) and a SQL statement runs in VB to save the note and other relevant data to a note table. Everything has been working great, except when the note is greater than 128...

    When joining several tables, I need one to be 'Updateable'

    My goal is to have a list with each item having a selection checkbox for the user to select which items in the list they want to act upon (delete, email, add to a group, etc.) The list is created by joining several tables together to get the information I need. That part works fine. I get all...

    How to create a subform with a Checklist of options

    The drawback to using a multi-select listbox is that it is designed for inputting. If you bring up the list later to adjust what is selected. One other comment about the subform with checkboxes: I can create the list linked with the check boxes and all the categories show up fine to select...

    Input mask problem

    I was wondering if you could post what changes you made when you re-wrote the code. I am wanting to do something very similar to what you have done, but could use your re-write. Thanks.

    Adjusting print settings in an MDE in Access 2000

    Many have received answers to print margin adjustment to simply go to the page setup, change the margin settings, select orientation, and then save the document. I need to be able to go further than this. (1) My program will be a MDE, so redoing the print layout programmatically will not work...

    Question: Putting Entities in one or two tables...

    Thanks for your input! I have always desired to stay the most "Flexible" in design, and all-in-one table seems to fit that.
