    Lookup?

    Thanks Skip That works beautifully. Obviously when I copy down the formulas I get #N/A errors as there is no information in B:B (forename) or C:C (surname)yet. I would like these cells to appear blank until I add a name. I have tried to use conditional formatting, eg selecting all the cells and...

    Mail Merge and Macro Button

    Hi Tony I'm not quite sure what has happened here. I have come back to this after the weekend and it is now working ok. The problem I had was that the form tick boxes needed protection to be filled in but the text fields needed to be unprotected to be filled in. Now when I protect the form...

    Mail Merge and Macro Button

    Hi Tony I need this button as it runs the macro before any fields are filled in so that the check boxes are protected but the text boxes aren't. This is so staff do not have to keep protecting and unprotecting the form depending on which part of the form they are filling in.

    Auto fill memo box

    Sorry to be ungrateful but as these reports will be printed and sent out to pupils I didn't really want any buttons appearing on the form. Is there any way of doing this so that when they have typed a comment into one of the boxes and moved onto the next record the information in the memo box...

    Auto fill memo box

    I have created a database for school reports. A form opens with records of students based on an underlying query. At the bottom of the form are memo fields (Attendance, Targets, etc). I would like to be able to type something into one of these memo boxes and the same information to appear in...
