    How to make the database customer oriented.

    Okay here's the dilemma. I'm not really making the database for a customer but rather my boss. He's more of an Approach user and likes the slimline, "not a lot of background and toolbars", kind of user. I made him a form that creates document records and generates reports based off...

    Send SQL to query, update subform while open. Possible?

    Okay, in an effort to make a form refresh instantaneously as soon as search criteria from an SQL statement is sent to the query isn't working so well. I though that putting a refresh button on the subform that houses the query would make it display but it doesn't. I even tried sending the SQL...

    How to query a table for uniqueness?

    Okay I have a list with numerous names. Some of these names have duplicates and some do not. I would just go through all of them and filter out the duplicates myself but there are too many entries. How do you query the table so that you get a list with each name once. eg: BOB LENNY CARL LENNY...

    Search form (I know there's a thread) but more specific

    Okay this is a more specific question on a search form. I have it working just fine so that it will search a field that usually contains more than one word (for instance it is a memo field, or a note-to-self field, or any field generally longer than name, last name, or DOB etc). However, it will...

    Question on error checking

    I have search form that can search by date range. You just give it two dates and it pulls up a report about it.

    Artic Silver 3 application

    Up until now, I was positive I did it right. But my CPU temps are a little high: 46/56c idle/load on a P4 2.4 @ 3.1ghz. I read up on the AS3 sight and followed using the plastic bag on the heat sink and then using a credit card on the slug. That came out a bit rough (edges of the card and little...
