    Problem changing hyperlink field to text field

    Sorry I'm a novice. Where do I put this update query and how do I run it? I assume I replace 'yourTable' with the name of the table i.e. 'Clients'

    I have 36000 email addresses in a table but could not search on them to find records when they were in 'hyperlink' format. I changed the format to 'text' and I can now search BUT the problem is that many of the email adddresses now show as client@junglematsse.com#http://client@junglematsse.c...

    Reference a subform

    I tried using expression builder as you suggest - I think the subform is referred to as 'Child250' or 'New Sales Subform' but neither these seem to work or display field names under expression builder- the db pops up a box for me to manually enter the number instead. I tried.. [Sale ID] Like...

    Reference a subform

    This doesn't work - I guess I need to substitute [SUBFORM] with the actual name of the subform but it doesn't have one! Any ideas?

    Speed of Database

    We have an 8 PC network using an FE/BE database. Our newest PC (with the highest spec) is actually the slowest at completing tasks on the DB. For example, a form contains buttons which open up another form and the a word document and then inserts fields from the new DB form into 'bookmarks'...

    FE/BE Connection

    I have a split FE/BE database which 8 PCs in the office connect to. Since splitting the database a few error messages pop up relating to the database not being available. When I check windows explorer the mapped network drive containing the BE will have a red cross on it. When I click this...

    Open form using wildcard

    Works fine for SURNAME1 but does not like the syntax for SURNAME2 - it is showing in red - can you use OR in this statement? regards Kieran
