Perfect. Worked a treat, thanks very much

The main menu bar has been disabled as well, I can't get to the Tools menu. If you happen to know the vb needed then I can activate from there. Cheers

Thanks but these are already set to 'Yes'. Also I can't even right click on/in the database window.

Can anyone help, I have just been sent a database, and I can't use the right mouse button to bring up any menus. I'm guessing this is a setting within the database(It's occuring for all areas not just on forms). Does anybody know how to reset this setting or even give me an idea on where to...

You could save the entries as Hyperlinks within a the table.

It sounds like the record is trying to save itself as you complete the combo boxes. You need to perform any checks your making without saving the record. This will aloow you to keep editing within the form. Hope this helps. Cheers Taff

I tend to use me.refresh This will also save the record for you. Just put the line in the AfterUpdate property for the Control you are tabbing from. Hope this helps Ian

Does anyone know if it is possible to pause VBA code while a User completes a form?? or does anyone know a way to use a combo box on a VBA control? The situation I`m in is that when a user chooses an option form the main menu I need a prompt/form to make them choose their name from a list...

I'm creating a form in Excel and need to populate a ListBox with the results from an Access Query. Can anyone show me how to set this query as the control source or populate it in a nother way? Thanks Ian

John, Try this: strdestination = "C:\folder\" strdate = format(date(),"DDMMMMYYYY") DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, strReportName, acFormatRTF, strDestination & strDate & ".rtf" Ian

Jalge2 You can set up a command button to save the record to the main table. IF you expand the following to match each control with each field it should work. Sub On_click() dim rstMainTable as recordset set rstMaintable = currentdb.openrecordset("MainTable") with rstMainTable...

Sorry but I don`t know the answer to the query part. I`m only using Access 97 which allows me to use the name of a query within the function. Maybe you could use a make table query before exporting and then delete it afterwards? Hope someone know the answer Ian
