    "Type Mismatch" using a VBA TypeText

    Perhaps on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning, I woulda made that leap, but never on a Monday :) Thank you very much. Its interesting that this worked... .Font.Bold = True .TypeText ScoreFollowup .Font.Bold = False

    "Type Mismatch" using a VBA TypeText

    I am using Access to create a word document. It is something that I have done in the past, but this has a twist. Dim objWord As Object Set objWord = New Word.Application objWord.Documents.Add objWord.Visible = True With objWord.Selection ..... .Font.Size = 12 .TypeText "Please find the...

    Stuck at Windows Log-on page (kinda)

    Got it up and running! Thank you. For some reason, I had to do step 3 of DigitalWebcast twice. I must have missed a file. (too bad Recovery Console doesnt recognize USB drives or I could have copied the lines from the web into a batch file) And - I didnt get asked what recovery session to...

    Stuck at Windows Log-on page (kinda)

    I was recently looked at a laptop w/ XPHome (sp unknown) and I could not get it past a screen similair to a GUI log on screen. Its blue, has the yellow lines near the top and the bottom and the XP Logo off-set to the right. The mouse moves, but there is no where to click. Ctrl-Alt-Del does...

    Group and Ungroup icons on a toolbar?

    Thank you! Of course, I spent more time tinkering, searching, cursing Bill Gates than it took to actually (un)Group, but thats besides the point!

    Group and Ungroup icons on a toolbar?

    I have some forms that I need to group some controls together and others to ungroup, and altough it seems petty, I'm getting tired of going to the Forms pull-down menu and selecting Group or ungroup. But I cannot find them on any toolbar! I can MOVE an icon from the menu to a toolbar, but that...

    select 5 records per call type

    Fantastic. Thank you. If I was confident that they were only going to ask me once, I'd do it by hand. But you know how management is... :)

    select 5 records per call type

    I like where PHV's second response is going. Here is my actual code SELECT tbl_Complaint.* FROM tbl_Complaint WHERE (((tbl_Complaint.ComplaintID) In (SELECT TOP 5 tlkp_ComplaintCatagories.ComplaintID FROM tlkp_ComplaintCatagories WHERE tbl_Complaint.ComplaintType =...

    select 5 records per call type

    I have a call-tracking database. Each call can be catagorized by 1 or 12 different ways (CallType) Sr Management wants to see a sampling of 5-10 calls per call-type. Unfortunately Topx doesn't work this way. Thoughts anyone?

    Export data to Excel, edit, then re-import to Access?

    Try impoting the spreadsheet into a temporary table then run an append query for the records that have no key field listed and an an update query to update the ones that have a key field. VBA is optional to automate the process and its simple docmd.openquery "qry_blahblahblah

    excel colour sort

    is it Background Shading or Font color? To my knowledge there is no excel function that reads either. That is why the answer lies in VB.

    excel colour sort

    I had to do this a few months back and of course can't find it now, but I wrote a macro to place a value (Selection.Interior.ColorIndex) representing the color in a temporary column. The phrase "sorting by color" is a little dubious. ie what is greater; Blue or Red. So by putting a the...

    Returning most recent 5 in a group

    yes - but since I was having trouble with the query in your initial post, I took the IN (select...) into its own query for temporary purposes to get the proper syntax, etc.. before trying the main query again. But when I noticed that the query shown in the in(select) in my last post was...

    Returning most recent 5 in a group

    Again Apologies (read some of my other posts, I'm not a complete newbie!) If we're using the same table twice, wouldnt the FROM Line contain both tables? I've seperated out the IN line to try and get a grasp of it and I get 7 records of the same (most recent) timestamp I know I didn't need...

    Returning most recent 5 in a group

    Apolgies for a newbie question... By T1, T2 am I using the same root table twice? ie: T1=tbl_MachineUseage T2=tbl_MachineUseage_1 I think Enigma007 figured it out, but I dont have enough coffee available..

    Returning most recent 5 in a group

    I have something similiar to thread701-871569 where I have a table storing the login times to the companies Access databases. I have the UserName, the computername, Timestamp, Database name & autonumber primary key. The purpose is to get a sense of who is logging on where. I am trying to find...

    Running Form in a window independent of Microsoft Access

    Fantastic code Mgolla. I have an access database used by supervisors that just has 1 form for monitoring. This code makes it simple enough that its almost impossible for them to do something wrong :)

    ok - thank you. I had searched, but not for Filebrowe - tho I suspect that its an API call - in which I thank you for the nudge. -alan
