    Unbound combo box won't work

    I'm trying to add an unbound combo box to a Access 97 form, based on unique names in a table. When I click it, it's blank. However, if I put it on a different form, it works fine. It's driving me nuts! What could keep it from working on the original form? Thanks, DB

    Formatting commands to Excel from Access

    Thanks, Jeff. I spent the weekend reading about automation and think I can solve this now. I already had an Excel macro to do this and, with your guidance, have the formatting commands: ' bold row 1 Rows("1:1").Select Selection.Font.Bold = True ' autofit columns Cells.Select...

    Formatting commands to Excel from Access

    Periodically, I have to dump approximately 50 Excel spreadsheets from an Access 97 database, each by customer. For esthetics, I go into each one and format it before sending it as an email attachment to each customer. To save a LOT of time, after the TransferSpreadsheet, I'd like to tell Excel...

    Pseudo-English passwords

    I'm working on a function in Access 97 to return a sheet of random passwords that a user can select from. The words should be English-like and pronounceable so they are easier to remember. I've had some success with this, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Does anyone already have code...

    Go to the " last record"upon opening

    Probably the quickest way is to use a "Go To Record" macro in the form's On Open property. You can set the macro to select last record. DBEngine

    Modifying Report Properties

    Thanks, lameid and Paul. I used the On Open in the report and referenced back to the option group on the form to get the data. Still - some fields sort and others seem to ignore the SortBy. Here's the code I used. Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo Err_rptCustomers Dim...

    Modifying Report Properties

    Generically speaking, I want to set SortBy and SortByOn in an Access 97 report from an option box on a form. How do I do that without first opening the report? Everything works except I get a message that the report name is either closed or nonexistant. I can't see how to change the properties...
