    Excel Autofilter VBA

    Thanks very much Gavin. I was hoping I could have it guess given the range is variable and I'm too lazy to code more :) It does work with a specific range as you suggested instead of just the range("A3") that I was trying. Star awarded.

    Excel Autofilter VBA

    I'm trying to automate from MS Access an excel spreadsheet and programmatically add an autofilter to the 3rd row. The problem is every syntax I use puts it on the first row. Does anyone know how to code adding an autofilter to the 3rd row of an excel worksheet using VBA. Thanks much for any...

    MS Project Automation

    I am trying to save an mpp project file as a project database file via vba code in an access module. It doesn't like the formatID "MSProject.mpd" even though I took it directly from the help file. Does anyone know how to make this work. The end goal is to open a series of project files in...

    Automation: Excel instance references

    Yup, its a string. Unconvential naming I know. In my experimenting I didnt change my convention to match my method. It works fine unless I run it with excel already running and I don't have clear enough understanding of how the various instances of an application object are declared and...

    Reference Objects in another Database?

    Thanks for responding. I'm confused by this method however. This seems to give me a means to call a procedure to run in another database but I want to run the procedure in the current database but refer to the objects in another one. Does this do what I need? If so I'd appreciate code to...

    Pulling data from a "nested" field

    your post is a bit confusing. I'm not sure what you mean by nested field... i suspect you mean nested form (most call sub form). From what I can make of your situation it seems like you just need to modify the query criteria to return only the record you want. We don't really have enough info...

    The find function doesn't always work

    Actually, the issue may be that you need to convert the databases to the 2000 format. If you haven't done that then use the database utility to convert the file.

    Split semicolon separated field into 12 new fields

    You could do this potentially without code using excel or access import functions. If this is a one shot or infrequently done thing I would do it without code. general steps w/out code: Save the data as a text file, import in as ";" delimited. this should separate the semicolons into...

    Exiting the IT Environment

    haha! got quite a chuckle from that response boca. I left about a year or so before the merger. I have an instinct for that type of thing I guess... like a rat deserting a sinking ship I assume. I was in the engineering services group so we probably had no contact.:)

    Bullet Points in a Memo field

    Not sure if you can. Memo fields are rather restrictive in what you can do with them. I assume that what you want is to not store the bullet but in a report or on a form provide the bullets. What I would try is to parse the value in the field based on the carriage return and concatenate a...
