    Open IE from Access - Want to Use Current ie Window - Not a New One

    Sorry about that - I did get it to work. I didn't realize that IE must be opened first. Thanks. Now I just need to figure out how to test for an open browser.

    Convert Weeks to Months

    I have a table containing fields wk1 through wk52. I need to convert this data to mon1 - mon12. wk1 will always be the first week of the current month. I was thinking that I would need to convert weeks to days first, then somehow populate my months fields, but I'm not exactly sure how to go...
