    Word - Form - Text Box

    I am working on a form in Word. I want to add a text box that users can fill in. If I add a text box from the Form toolbox, it creates a teeny one that can "grow". How can I create one that is like the very box I am typing in now, that is a specific size and shape? I had one on the form...

    Excel - Conditional Lists?

    I am working on a form. I am using drop-down lists for folks to choose different answers. Is it possible to have a dropdown reference a previous drop-down and base the options on the previous drop-down? For example, if they choose a department of registration, the next drop down of job titles...

    Power Point - Excel Linked

    I have a presentation that I'm wanting to have linked to certain spreadsheets that are in excel. This works great, except, I need to show only a certain portion of the sheet, not the entire sheet. (this will look much better too, instead of having half an empty sheet show up in the...

    Form - Edit, Updates when changing records

    I don't mind the slight subject change at all. Now I understand how the form works (doesn't mean I like it...). In response to your situation with wanting to hold data back and then append all at once, I'm not sure if this would work for you, but have you considered having your records append...

    Form - Edit, Updates when changing records

    I have a simple form built that is linked to one table. It is designed for the user to edit records in that table. I have a "process" button and a "find Record" button. Also the typical navigation buttons at the bottom, to scroll thru the records. Here's my horror: I've discovered that if...

    Error Handling

    Thanks so much. I've got error handling in all of my macros now, it looks so much better for the user to get a message that makes sense to them rather than getting the VB "End, Debug" kind of message.

    Error Handling

    Ugh, it's been a while. I can't for the life of me remember how to do two things: Create a simple error handling routine inside a sub. Once I do the above, need to create a little message box, probably just an okay button type.

    Help, Here's the code I have so far. The error I'm getting is that it's expecting a sub or function. How can I call a sub based on the value contained in cell O2? Sub M_Run_Macro_D2() Dim mcro_nm As String Dim windw As String Sheets("Macro List").Select windw = Range("N2").Value...

    Form - Binding a Frame

    Exactly what I needed! I don't work too often in Access, and once again I spent about an hour playing around trying to get this to work. 5 minutes after posting this, you gave me the info I needed to get this up and running like a charm!!!

    Form - Binding a Frame

    I have a form that has 5 boxes that appear/disappear based upon a choice made in a frame. This is done via a sub in the AfterUpdate for the Frame. I also want these boxes to appear/disappear based upon the value in the frame. It seems like I should be able to use the same code, but can't find...
