    Collect data from email?

    Please forgive me for asking this before I've learned the program, but I couldn't find anything on this topic in a search and I am hoping I didn't purchase this database for nothing. :) Here are the tools I have: iBook running 'Tiger', Excel, Dreamweaver, and FMP 7. (Not sure what all I will...

    Web page notification

    It seems like I used to see a setting or an option on a web page SOMEwhere that said (essentially): "Email me when content on this page changes". I have searched this forum and on Hotscripts.com, but can find no such script. What I would like is to have an opt-in signup on my home...

    check for duplicates on entry

    Unfortunately, I am forced to accept both duplicates and nulls (it's a terrible design and a long story). So how can I set the focus back to this field until they enter a number that is not already being used?

    Nah - doesn't do a thing. I first tried the whole thing in the BeforeUpdate event - the duplicate-check code worked but the SetFocus said I had to save first.

    check for duplicates on entry

    Update Form Fields from Combo Box?

    Update Form Fields from Combo Box?

    I've tried a lot of variations, including this one, but I keep getting the error: "Microsoft Access can't find the field "LttrTitle" in your expression." (LttrTitle is one of the fields from the tblLttrType table I selected for my combo-box drop-down.)How do I identify this...

    Update Form Fields from Combo Box?

    You can't get much newer to Access than I am, so please bear with me. I have two tables: tblLttrType that describes the type of letter an employee should get, and tblEmpSample in which I want to record survey data for which letter employees DID get, and whether it was on time. I'm trying to...
