    Selecting Distinct Records - Problems

    I have a table of tasks and about 9 records are "Daily" which are identified in a Frequency field of the TblMain. I also have a complete checkbox, a start_date (prepopulated) and an end_date. Once the complete checkbox is marked, the end_date is updated with today's date. If I check off all 9...

    SELECT DISTINCT not working

    Obviously you have more than one record for each one...it seems to me that you may have 2 different values in both records. I.e., brochure.type could equal "this" in one record and "that" in another.

    That's exactly what I want...for the user to HAVE to choose an item in the list. I tried putting .style = fmStyleDropDownList but I got an "object doesn't support this property or method" error. Here's my code: With Selection.Validation .Delete .Add Type:=xlValidateList...

    I have a form with an unbound field that I want to use as an "End Date." This "End Date" will always be on a Sunday. I'ved tried just about every date function there is but because the system date changes, my "End Date" does also. I need it to stay on the following Sunday's date for an...

    Change forecolor based on value

    I tried something similar to this and it only gave me the YES values but this works!!! I must have had my RGB values wrong. (I did it as txt_proform.forecolor = RGB(255,0,0) and txt_proform.forecolor = RGB(0,0,0)) Thanks again and a star for you!

    Change forecolor based on value

    I have a report based off of a query that has a field called [Pro_form](yes/no field). Based on the value of the field, I want to be able to change the color of the font within the report, i.e., if pro_form = -1, then the font is red, otherwise, it's black. Any ideas? Thanks

    Date Difference in Weeks

    I'm trying to get the number of weeks between 7/2/1997 and 6/8/2004. The code i'm using is what I found here in the forums: Using DateDiff("ww", 07/02/1997, 06/08/2004) gives me 0. Any help is appreciated.

    Continuous Forms possible even with subform??

    There's no way around it. Access expects a join on the child (subform) and master (main form) fields. If you have related fields in each table, you can set the child and master properties on the subform and set to continuous forms. This will show all those records in the subform that are...

    I created a new Outlook Data File, named it Personal Folder(1).pst and moved all my items to it. My problem is that the messages do not show. If I look at the details, it shows that it is 38xxx kb so I know there is SOMETHING in there. How do I get Outlook to show the messages? Thanks!!!

    Access says I have +2,048 chars when I don't.

    That's what I've had to do on quite a few. I tried splitting this one up between the two CHOOSE functions and pasting into two separate unbound fields. The first CHOOSE worked and the second didn't. Same error. Also tried pasting into a new...it was a no go also. Access is a good tool for...
