Ken thank you, that works a treat.

How do I set up the date elements of a process to work out production for a week and a month when the data is input and stored on a daily basis? The date is stored as DD/MM/YY and is a simple ASCII file containing the details for a number of machines.

How can I specify the minimum field length in a table? I have a field which MUST be 13 characters long, anything more or less is unacceptable. Advice appreciated.

It's me again. I've got a problem when I delete an item off a table. I need to print out a report with the details of the item deleted so it can be sent off elsewhere as a manual record. I've used the 'delete record' from the wizard and thought that I could just tack a macro on to it as well...

I have a form that display the attributes of a stock item. I want to use a button to produce an order form for that item using relevant details from the form. Can this be done? How? I think I need to generate a report but am uncertain on how to do it or if this is the right way.

OK. I am trying to build this into a query (using expression builder) to display Items whose expiry date is 60 days or less, but some items do not have an expiry date. How do I get around this. BTW the expression I have come up with is &quot;If «Expr» [Expiry_date]&quot;<=(Date()-60) But it...

I am just reading this as I want to set up a query/report to alert me when an item is 60 days off it's expiry date. So the query will include Month(Date-Day(Date)) - 60?

How do I produce a report which only displays the results of a query...the query displays fine as a form but I want to be able to print it as a report with a few other details (from a different table) on it

Didn't hink it would be straight forward. Thanks for the pointers I'll go and have a look at what you've suggested and may well come back with more questions. Thanks T

I have been asked (!) to provide a database which will detail the availibility/non-availibility of our workers. This will include when they are on holiday, working off site, sick, courses etc. Obviously these details will be entered by the users in a date format. The boss wants it to provide a...
