I really need to get back to learning my lisp.. It's been about 6 years since I have even looked at a programing book or tutorial.

Thanks Carl, What does the strcat do? I had fiddled with it for quite a while last night trying to figure that one out.

That works great!! Is there a way to get it to put he X and Y lable? Like this? X= 1'-5 1/4" Y= -2'-2

That would be great!! I used to have one that worked ok but my hard drive crapped out on me a few months ago and had to get a new one. I have not been able to find one that actually worked right since. Every one that I have found does not let me specify the origin and then goes through so many...

Hi CarlAK, thanks for your reply. -I do need it to be a leader with an arrow head. -Stacked beyond the line -Yes I need to to justify left or right simular to if you use the leader command (not dim >leader though) -Would like MTEXT -Format needs to be Feet and inches to 1/4"(example: 2'-4-1/4")

At one time I had a lisp rutine that let me specify the origin and then a point that would create a leader and put the X & Y coordinate in the text automaticly. Does anyone know where I can find this. I have looked at a few but none of them do what I need. Here is what I need: 1. start the...

I do not know anything about Publisher but I would imagin that you could use a DXF, Or Jpeg file? A DXF file you can save as right out of autocad and a Jpeg you can print to file as JPEG. Chris

AutoCad 05 & 06 both have a new addition to there Attributes list. You can now use drawing properties just like in Inventor to automaticly fill in your attribute fields on all of your sheets. You can also create custom properties. Just look up Attributes in the help and that should get you going.

Make sure that in your printer line style set up for the drawing is set to Autocad.. It is probably set to Monochrom. you will find this in the print window when you go to plot your drawing. Hope this helps you. Chris

yep still give me an #error. I have also checked to make sure that I have everything spelled correctly also.

Actually I want a running total of each field not add the 2 together. Basicly I want a running total of the field for all records together not just the current on that I am looking at. If this was my table showing the records: Person Investment Worth...

I have a form that I want to display the running total of two seperate fields from my table and have them displayed in the footer. One is Investment field and the other is Worth field. I created an unbound text box and placed the following code. =Sum(CollectionTable1!Investment) but all I am...

No, I have not. Thanks for the link by the way I will read it and endeavor to apply it to my DB. Would you guys have any other suggestions on which books are good to get started on? Access, VBA & SQL. I have looked at allot of them in the book stores but am just unsure where to get started.

Oh for my first part of my question was if I create a Query using the query wizard and place [Forms]![FrmSearch]![ChbManufacture] Or [Forms]![FrmSearch]![ChbManufacture] Is Null in the criteria for the query field (in this case the Manufacture field)this will allow me to select the criteria...

That is true.. If I do it this way then the standard [Forms]![Search]![Manufacture] Or [Forms]![Search]![Manufacture] Is Null in a query would work fine wouldn't it? one more question. In my Year field it is formated as text but I am putting 2000, 2001, 2002...etc. Does it matter that it is...
