Met up with the same problem from a db table created from a third party software. Foxpro 2.5 had no problem. Access choked. Thanks for the quick and accurate answer to my problem.

Much thanks for the info also. Co worker's kids plowed their XP SP2 and system went completely nuts. Took a while to get around Dell's boot, but you info put it right back on track. The floppy boot for recovery bites though. Was there a boot cd method (for next time)? Tx, m6

Dear Friends, Which runs faster DoCmd.RunSQL or db.Execute? I prefer db.Execute because I use strSQL to load a tracer log file, a screen tracer text box. Not that you can do it also with DoCmd.RunSql, but I ran into a Access version bug with docmd and I tend to avoid it. What's the...

Dear zinja, I had a similar problem about 4 yrs ago, finally resorted to rebuilding the Access database by importing all by that one item. Seems there is an object reference in the hidden structure of Access that remembers there used to be a module attached to the report. Even building a...

Dear All, I have a task that exports a range to an HTML page. In Excel the range is auto sized to fit standard paper for printing. When I open the HTML page in the browser and print, it covers 2 pages (just a bit too wide). Is there any way to modify the HTML page to fit better? or add...

Dear Zanthras, I learned the point was to Activate the worksheet where the work is being done. I couldn't find this anywhere. Thanks for the help, it worked like plug and play. I was trying use to option button from the report page to copy/paste on the Math Page then return focus back to the...

Here is the scenerio... 3 option buttons on an a sheet. Not grouped! No forms. Nothing fancy. Being green on the XL VBA code, I recorded the action as a macro, then converted it to the option button. Upon the click of the button, it simply copy's and pastes on another sheet. The code is...

scriverb and ajdesalvo, Logically, since the data to be deleted is worthless, then changing field data to indicate "DELETE" is valid. Then the delete is within the single table and should be much faster. Again, thanks for the help and understanding. PS I may submit this for a FAQ...

Much thanks, that was the rub, just too many other problems to concentrate! m6

Yup, it's eluding me for some reason. 2 tables, the first table (tblData) contains 2 fields, txtField1 and Data. The second table (tblMatch) just txtField1. I want to delete all the records in the first that are matched in the second. txtField1 is the common between the two tables. my query...

Sure, just put it in a string and concat in the beginning and ending date. Be sure to use # to tell jet it is a date field (if that is what it is). ex.strSQL = "SELECT Funds.Date, Funds.Trak FROM Funds WHERE (((Funds.Date) Between #" & BegginingDate & "# And #" & EndingDate...

Robert, Although this is not the direct answer, I had my intern work on a similar project with Postage statements (I fill out about 30 per week). She mentioned that simple math is easy, but any other work had to be done in Java. We were considering tying the pdf's to a mdb for an effective...

What kind of connection to your data are you using, ODBC, ADO, RDO, DAO....?

Dear essnvr, Try putting the table name in front of you select field names. Insert Into [Inventory Physical Count] Select [Physical Count Temp]![Batch Number] ,[Physical Count Temp]![Page Number],[Physical Count Temp]![Line Number], [Physical Count Temp]![Item Number],[Physical Count...
