LordMaximus, Thanks for the suggestion. I tried running the file that was already on my computer, and it said it was for the wrong OS. So I downloaded the file instmisW.exe from Microsoft's website, but that didn't appear to do anything. I found another copy of instmsi.exe, but running this...

I'm having a weird issue - when I copy files, or right click, or just do operating system things, Windows Installer pops up and tells me I need to put in the Publisher 2002 CD. I'm using Windows 2000, and I've tried using freeware uninstaller programs to get rid of Publisher completely, but no...

I see truth in what you said, BiggerDon. I find it amazing that people still refer to me around here as "The Computer Guy" even when I rarely know the answers to their questions off the top of my head. Sometimes I just know to tell them where to right click on the screen and the...

Hmm, I don't think that would do it, as the reports I am reprinting are not sequential. They could be records 6, 31, 80, and 81. As for storing a value, I'm thinking I may have to do it manually, but that is not desirable, as the number of records may change (and one may be added from the...

All of you are correct: I need to go to my boss and have a chat with him about my project and how much time he should expect to see me reading in my cubicle. Unfortunately, the lines of communication are not as open as I would like them to be (which I would like to believe is not entirely my...

Hello, I have a large report that I have printed out, and for any changes to that report, I only print the records that have changed. As all of the records go in the same 3-Ring Binder, in a fixed order, I would like to have the page numbers match. For example, printing the full report gives...

Wow Tracey, I don't know if I would want to sign a contract like that. I want to use everything that I learn to further my career, and I think right now that's going to involve working on the side to solidify those skills. So I'm perfectly happy doing all of my learning regarding Access and...

I have a friend that is using his accounting job to get into a more technical oriented position. He has offered to use his programming skills to buff up the system, and it seems to be working, at least for him. It may not be exciting work, but it is a way to get around that nasty lack of entry...

Thanks all for your replies! I had never intended to learn something completely off the path, so I'm not worried about that. As for talking to my boss and finding out what his opinions are, I'm still trying to maintain the facade that I know what I'm doing! I think it would be a lot...

Hey, I'm a recent grad, working my first database/programming job, so there's a lot of things that I need to pick up before I can be fully functional. I know that a certain amount of on the job learning is expected, and that it shouldn't be a problem if my employer sees me digging through a...

Steve, As usual (at least in my experience with Access so far), the (immediate) problem was not what I thought it was. Upon examination, the code was _never_ advancing past the call to MsgBox, and so my Requery's were never called, and neither was the Response set to acDataErrAdded. I tweaked...

Steve, Your solution is one I would have never thought of, which makes me wonder if I'm doing things a bit backwards on more of a design level (though that's probably a subject for another thread). I had assumed that the code from the first form would halt until the second form was closed, but...

Thanks for your response. As for your first point, I thought I had the save covered, as I have the form set up so that you save the info, then you close the form (which saves again). Maybe I'm using the wrong command? As for your second point, yes, the new entry does show up after I exit and...

Hello, I have several Combo Boxes that get their values from separate tables. Some of them I have set up to add new items to the list using the method from the FAQ (faq702-4283), and for some of them I have a separate button that opens the relevant form to add a record. My problem is that the...
