Hi everyone -- I'm going to be importing a HUGE (single field/single words) list (20,000+) words into an Access table for manipulating and exporting into another application. Initially, the list will look something like this, with many repeats of each word: preliminary preliminary Preliminary...

Hi everyone -- I'm having trouble producing some calculations in a report and hope you can help me. This is in Access 97, and the report is based on a query that contains two related tables - a customer name table and a service log table. The service log table has a column for dollar total per...

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any third-party utilities or plug-ins available that are designed to streamline the task of working with the cosmetics of a form? I'm thinking of all the little stuff that takes so much time. I'd like to be able to say "Take these 6 objects I've selected and...

I took a beginner's level Access course years ago and have been getting by with that, supplemented by the online help, LOTS of reference books, and posting questions to forums like these. But I run into a lot of frustration (and subsequently waste a lot of time) when I run up against the...

I have a field on a form which is not tabbed to and contains a default value (which is a foreign key to the main table which the form is based on). This value will stay constant for hundreds of records, then the user will need to change it for the next few hundred, and on and on. I would like to...

I have a form with several fields which I would like the users to be able to easily toggle back and forth as to whether they want to automatically tab there or not during the data entry, without having to go into design mode to change the settings. Can I do this with controls on the form somehow?

I have created a database for someone to manage an ongoing project that requires weekly invoicing to a client and payment to numerous subcontractors. I have three tables - a "master" table which contains the date (of books) received and invoice date, a "detail" table which...
