    Empty Date Field Problem

    I can't understand what the problem can be. I created my database using VisiData that comes with VB and I don't have the same problem as you do. I can create a new record and if there are any fields that I cannot complete due to lack of info' it accepts it and saves ok. I don't know if this...

    Find If Control Is Loaded

    OK, I have worked out my problem and I do apologize for the late response. However, this had raised an important question: "Why" am I creating labels and not "Disabling" textboxes? The answer to that is quite simple: Textboxes don't have the transparency property as label controls do. Lets...

    Find If Control Is Loaded

    Hi, How can I find out if a control array is loaded or not? Example: I'm drawing textboxes on a form, do all the text formatting as Bold, Italics, Size, etc. Once I had drawn a few I double click the form and the textboxes are then replaced by an array of label controls copying all the...

    Deleting Records

    bdavis96 Just Getting Off The Track Slightly: I had also started my programming in 1993 with pascal and passed my programming exams with honors, or should I say with horrors. LOL . . . I liked pascal more than C, so I did some databases, writing text files, created a COBOL Compiler Interface...

    Deleting Records

    bdavis96 OK, Here's the First Issue: Look at the path of the mdb file, you must question yourself "What if the users' mdb file is situated on another drive?" (eg: Networks have many drives for different work allocations). Then the path, what if the user had chosen a different path in that...

    Deleting Records

    bdavis96, I guess you're planning of using the database app for your own personal use. If not, you need to look at some issues in your code above. petermeachem, I'm suprised to see you've missed them. good luck bdavis96.

    Deleting Records

    bdavis96, Use the database "Close" command in your code before compacting. petermeachem You seem to know more about it so I'll step aside. You were right, it's fixed now. Thanks

    Deleting Records

    See and study the code below that I use to delete every record "BAR ONE" in my app'. The one left over needs to stay. you can replace the data in that one record and update it or simply empty it's contents and then update it. BUT!, And I mean BUT! If you delete the last record you will get a...
