    After Update Event Access 2000 Forms

    I have a form in Access 2000 with an unbound field that I want set to the current date any time specific fields in this form get modified (not if any part of the form is modified, only if those fields are). I created a macro that is tied to the "After Update" events of these fields. The macro...

    Excel XP: Pivot Charts "source"

    I have inherited a workbook with pivot tables & charts. I can find the data source for the tables with no problem but how do I find out the source for the pivot charts? There is no way to run the wizard and go backwards as with the pivot table. The only time I ever saw reference to a pivot...

    FileMaker 5.5-Prompt for Find Criteria

    First, I'm an Access user trying to work in a FileMaker database & I know I shouldn't have expectations - but I do! Anyway - in Access, I can create a parameter (prompting) query so, whenever it's run, it stops and asks what I want. In FileMaker, I would like to accomplish the same thing. I've...

    Outlook 2002-Group Schedules

    I am unable to see schedules in the Group Schedules dialog (not even my OWN). However, if I create a new appointment and click on the Schedule tab and enter the same people as are in the group schedule, I can see their schedules in that window.

    #INF error in computed item

    When dividing one item (bien) by another (budget) - which has a zero value - I get #INF in the computed results. Anyone know how I can show something other than that? I've tried an if...else but it didn't work - might have been user error, though. if(bien/budget<0){0}else{bien/budget} Thanks!

    Dream Classroom Configuration

    I was recently asked what my "dream classroom" would look like. I thought I'd pose that same question to users of this forum. It will be interesting to see what other instructors think would constitutes a state-of-the-art facility. Thanks!

    I was keying in an invalid date (14/8/2005) on an Access table and, when I pressed <Tab>, Access changed the date to 8/14/2005. I was tyring to show someone the error message you get with an invalid date - well, I didn't expect it to swap the month/day! Why does it do that and how can I stop it...

    #Error in Report Control - Access 2002

    When displaying a report where a bound control is doing a "sum", I see #Error - because there's nothing to add up.

    Combo Box - Can't select Until I go into Design & back out

    Very odd - when open a form and try to UPDATE the value in a combo box control, it won't allow it. However, if I go into design view for the form and then back into form view, it will. Any idea what the heck is going on here???

    Suppress Toolbars in Office (any version)

    I would like to prevent the display of toolbars for charts and drawing objects when they are clicked on. I'm sure this calls for some VBA - and I'm not VBA-savvy. Many thanks to those of you who are - you have answered lots of my questions in the past.....
