    compare to other fields in find mode?

    I have a report form, where I want people allow to pick the date range. So I thought, I would create script that enters into find mode and then would pull the value out of a table (which basically holds all my global values) that contains the start and end date. However, when I am in the...

    Finding Records

    what would be a good way to provide you with an address? the forum specifically requests not to post email addresses in here to keep spammers away - I am new here, so I don't want to violate the TOS - I am sure you can advise me of how to go about it. I think i need to head to a book store and...

    Finding Records

    I'd love to try - OK - I'll just take an example: The state of GA - 159 counties - 608 sites - 10 (light checks, ground maintenance, HVAC...etc.) types of different services performed for each site - on average 4 contractors for each service (basically one for NE/ one for NW/ one for SW/ one...

    Finding Records

    JW: Thanks for your answer - well, if that is the only way to do it - I guess I'll have to stick with Access or some other SQL solution - I just have too many differnt, ever changing complex queries - by the time I broadened a search 30 times - I can find them with the Find function of...

    Finding Records

    OK - while I am at it - here is my second problem: I have to export data to another program with very limited import capabilities. For that reason, I need to combine fields, e.g. first_name and last_name into one field NAME. Is that possible? Thanks

    Finding Records

    I am migrating from Access to Filemaker... so far it has been easy sailing - but now I hit the first roadblock: My database contains about 1500 records - those are site locations throughout the Southeast - maintenance people, technicians, etc. get the sites assigned by counties. So one guy...

    Access Export

    I am dealing with a program that has very limited import capabilities. Therefore, I would need to combine several fields of my Access table (e.g. First Name and Last Name into one field NAME) before exporting it as delimited ASCII. So far I have exported to Excel and then done it there - but...

    Looking for the right software

    thanks so far guys - i am getting some useful hints here. One thing I have to keep in mind... any approach that requires an independent thought process on the field guys is a wrong approach, so their end needs to be pretty much fool proof. They never visit the office, so emailing is essential...

    Looking for the right software

    Thanks guys - I am looking into that option a little more ATM - knowing a little bit of Access and knowing a little more about Microsoft and the 'intuitive nature' of their approaches - I am somewhat afraid I might get in over my head there - error handling routines and things like that sound...

    Looking for the right software

    PS: They also take about 10 digital photographs per site. If the program can handle jpgs, it would be even better.

    Looking for the right software

    I am familiar with SQL and relational databases, but my knowledge on current developments is outdated. I am faced with the following scenario: I have a database with about 1500 records, which represent site locations. I have about 8-12 guys on the road inspecting the sites (each guy has his...
