    Identifying cells in a For Next loop

    Good afternoon, I have a simple formula to run on a number of cells. The formula references the cells next to it and, according to their values, adjusts the value of each cell in turn. What I'm having trouble with is working out a For Next loop that identifies each cell in turn in order for the...

My problem is I can set the second header (using the 'this point forward' option) fine but when I repeat the process for the third header it changes all the previous headers back to the page where...

Occasionally if I change information in the record on this form (directly or by code from a linked form) Access doesn't change the information in this record but does in an apparently unrelated record several hundred ID's...

    Removing a deleted replica - the MS KB article doesn't do it.

    I have several leftover references to deleted replicas on the synchronisation screen. The Knowledge Base Article Q198950 recommends that I restore the paths to where these objects were and re-synchronise, the trouble is the paths were to machines that have been removed or renamed (as part of an...

    Command Button Text moving on print

    Good morning. I have to print off several forms at regular intervals and I've noticed that the text in one of the command buttons is higher than it is on screen. So high in fact that it comes outside of the button itself. Any ideas why this might happen. It's not a trauma or anything but it...

    Access and the PETER programming tool

    I have a pleasant 3d screensaver that was compiled using a system known as PETER (not by me I might add). Thing is whenever the screensaver goes off the VB coding screen is visible with all my neat and tidy (yeah right!) code showing. None of the access toolbars are there and I haven't seen if...
