    Setting Primary Key in linked tables

    That was so simple! The menu is a little misleading, because it doesn't give you a "delete link" option, it just says "delete", which leads you to believe that you are deleting the entire table. Thank you so, so, so much!!

    Setting Primary Key in linked tables

    Hello, all I think I've done something stupid. Although I have a nice new version of Access, I also have a nice new mental block to go with it. I can't seem to get the hang of this database thing. Here's my problem: I linked 2 tables (applicant and loandata), so that when (IF)an applicant...

    separating "dead" files without deleting

    After weeks of fighting with this database, I got it back to the point that I could actually implement your ideas. Thank you so much, both of you!

    separating "dead" files without deleting

    I am very very new to Access, and have no idea how to write code. If I am in an Access 97 table, and I need to remove customer data for accounts that are "dead" (paid off), is there a way to separate that information and remove it from the table without deleting it altogether? I still...

    custom color on form

    Oh, I am so grateful for Tek-Tips! It has gotten me through my last several brochures and print projects, and now I've been assigned a database. Onward and upward! Thank you so much for your help. I was having trouble finding the color picker, but I skipped a step accidentally--I was trying to...

    custom color on form

    Hello, all, I am very new to Access (97) and this may be a simple task. I need to create a custom color on my form. HELP says to click on "build" in the color menu (...) and it will give me the color picker. However, I don't have that option on any of my color menus, front color OR...

    transparent image from PhotoEditor to Illustrator

    Well, I can't seem to make a clipping path, and I am unsure what a png is. But the only save option it gave me was jpeg, tiff or targa (?) I am so frustrated that I have decided to leave it for a few days, come back to it, and hope that it has decided to mind.

    transparent image from PhotoEditor to Illustrator

    Hello, all, I have managed to make part of my AI image transparent in Photo Editor (it's all I have!). When I try to cut/paste from Photo Editor, or place the file back into AI, it doesn't show up as transparent. When I try to save it as a jpeg, it says transparency isn't supported, so I tried...

    text flip on path

    To answer my own question--shutting down my computer and restarting seemed to fix it! Now I can flip text as always! Thanks, everyone!

    text flip on path

    I am having trouble with placing text on a path. I used to be able to "flip" it over (i.e. so that it shows up correctly on the bottom part of a shape.) I can't seem to do that any longer. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks! Deana

    "dimming" a photo

    Thank you for your help. I am not sure I am even doing this correctly. I am also finding that it only dims on screen, and it need it lighter as a background when it prints. (I took a photo, embossed it, now it needs to be lighter so the text will show up.) I am a little frustrated at this...

    "dimming" a photo

    Well, I thought it was that easy. It worked for a week. I have several photos on the page, and when I dim one, it dims them all. They are not grouped. Is there a way around this? Thanks in advance!! Deana

    "dimming" a photo

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I knew it was amazingly easy, but I just couldn't get it! (Although I locked up my computer four different times trying)And it's really called "dimming"!!! I appreciate your help--after two snow days at home, I was beginning to think my mind was too...

    "dimming" a photo

    Hello all, I am trying to use a photo as a background. I thought what I needed to do was create a halftone screen, but I am no longer sure that that will give me the desired effect. I was able to "dim" (for lack of a better word)a photo to somewhere around 35% and maintain colors...

    Character Map

    Thank you so much!! It was so easy!

    Character Map

    This will sound like a really silly question, but where is the character map? I have Illustrator 8 PC, and I need a french character. Even Help won't show me where it is! Thanks! Deana

    Making an object transparent

    Actually, my printer IS an HP. And to make things even more exciting, they just switched me to an even older printer!! I am working on getting Photoshop and the Illustrator and Pagemaker upgrades. I guess for now my design work will be limited, and I do it within the scope of other things, but...

    Making an object transparent

    Hee hee, I have enjoyed indeed this thread. However, I am only slightly convinced!! (A Mac would be cooler, anyways!!) But I can be happy with my newly upgraded PC. I don't have Photoshop. I have decided just to leave the darned thing on a white background!!!! And I learned a bit about html...

    Making an object transparent

    All of these are great ideas!! But my machine doesn't like them. (Oh, how I long for a mac!!) I tried rotating the image in IL8 .01. It didn't work. I tried to rotate it just a little teeny bit in PM, because it doesn't let me rotate incrementally, but that didn't work, either. I also tried to...

    Making an object transparent

    Is there any way to make an imported object (i.e. logo) transparent behind, so that I can add it to a color block?? It sounds so simple, but I can't make it happen!!!! I have PM7 and AI8.
