    This is a really fun one. I have an elaborate Excel 2003 formula calculation workbook that is saved as a template with multiple Vlookup tables that get their data from an Access database, I have them set to refresh on open. With the one generation of it everything works fine but I have set up a...

    Data changes not being saved to table/s

    I'm starting to see a lot of issues with several of my databases (Access 2003) on our network not saving edited/added data to the tables. We used to run on a Novell network but this was changed in the last year or so to a Windows based Active Directory environment. I suspect that the problem...

    Excel:Template with links, automate break links

    I have an Excel workbook that I have automated with macros to copy two of the sheets out to a new workbook and then break the link and remove some formatting to retain just the data as a copy of the results in the parent workbook. All was fine until I set it up as a template on the network...

    Excel:Vlookup & Consolidation over multiple columns

    I asked this question in the MS Office group but received no replies so I thought I'd try here, since it's probably a VBA resolution anyway. I am working on a formula calculation spreadsheet in Excel 2003. It utilizes several tables of data that I do Vlookups on multiple columns of data. The...

    Excel:Vlookup & Consolidation over multiple columns

    I am working on a formula calculation spreadsheet in Excel 2003. It utilizes several tables of data that I do Vlookups on multiple columns of data. The data tables are a download from our old system housed on an AS400 which was my starting point. To get a better idea of what I'm dealing with...

    Between 2 dates query misses end date AGAIN!

    I've been through this before and was able to use the DateValue solution but now it's not working. I am trying to set up a simple (yeah right, no such thing in Access for this one) parameter query that returns records between two dates: "Between [Beginning Date] And [Ending Date]" on a...

    In my Access 2002-2003 database that I use to keep track of lab projects I would like to add a second table that records testing data, the first table stores information about the project itself, description, due date etc. I could skip all of this by just adding the fields to my existing table...

I have a field in the main table for the user to enter their initials through a form but it is not restricted in any way, so they can type anything they want (not the best way to do...
