    Container/Control required for text and graphics

    Hi everyone, This is a related question to one I proposed last week. This time, I need to ask if anyone knows of a suitable container/control which will allow me to save both text and graphics. I know that a Rich Text Format control will do it, but that saves it in RTF format, which, with...

I then want to be able to disable the second combobox until text is entered into the first (being typed). This is normally done through the afterupdate event, or if you...

    Applyfilter problem

    Does anyone know how to do a date search (single date and range) when the format of the date is dd/mm/yyyy (UK date format). Whenever I enclose the date in #, the date is converted to US style, and so does not correctly filter the form. Thanks
