Thanks, Markus! I'll give that strategy a look. Tek-Tips answers keep me out of that white jacket with the extra long sleeves... Thanks

Didn't find this exact question and other questioners didn't want to do this. Is this possible? Without VBA? -- It probably is with, but I don't have the chops to handle it and there's no other resource. Do you know if it is possible to create a numbered list/outline that keeps numbering in...

Thanks... I have compacted and repaired the database many times (I guess it holds on to “ghosts of fields past” until that is done). I am going to look at using combo boxes. Maybe I shouldn’t have used the word “data points.” What I meant to indicate when I said it was that I have a study...

Can't find this in any previous threads, some similar, but none address this exact question. I have used MS Access for a while, but generally feel like I can make great looking user interfaces, but lack technological know-how in many cases. Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to give as much...

Trying to avoid carpal tunnel, I am turning to the experts. I am working on a database for a research study. Tons of fields, none repeating other than the one that ties one table to another. For each day for 12 weeks, I have 21 fields with numbers to store (1,764 fields in multiple tables...

Hi, I am working in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professonal and am trying to adjust the arrows so that a selected object can be nudged into place. The increment seems to be pre-set to a value that is too large to be precise. Is that increment adjustable? It DOES work fine if I drag it with the mouse...

I am trying to undo someone else's poor import format. There are multi-line entries in an address field in Access. I want to separate each line into its own field. I am trying to figure out how to use a carriage return as a delimeter, but can't do it. Is there a certain character combination...

Well... all suggested options exhausted and still nothing. I think they are all gone. Back to the paperwork search in the all too messy office. Thanks and if anyone has anything new, let me know!

I have now done this TWICE... slow learner. I did a system recovery on my computers and did not "find"? My product key for MS Office 2003 before I did it. I upgraded on the web and the key is NOWHERE to be found. It may take YEARS to figure out if it is buried somewhere on paper in my...

I have a program that runs reports to the screen in Notepad and the font and its size have an effect on the readability of the file I see - the font has to be an equally-spaced letter font. Ocassionally in a Notepad document, I will change the Notepad font and its size for something and I am...

[roll2] Thank you! On your suggestion, I went to the format cross-tab and supressed the subtotal in the group options... I hadn't figured out that I could select the rows above and get those boxes to be available. You've made my WEEK!! Thanks again!

I am currently doing battle with the cross-tab function in Crystal Reports 8.5. I am pulling in a table from a SQL database that I need to report in a particular manner. Is it impossible to turn off the row totals in the cross-tab report? I have gone into every menu I can find and...
