    desktop menu

    thanks for anyone who may have contemplated this question but i think im pointed in the right direction in that I think that these are bespoke 3rd party window modifications. So far Im taking a look at http://access.mvps.org/access/toc.htm. http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1722721

    alter report data at run-time.

    Oh I didn't realize what you were saying. I cleared the unbound text box and sure enough I could place data in it from the Detail_Format event. A very useful simple tip - I'm not sure why it works but I am most grateful.

    alter report data at run-time.

    yes i agree. I'm just giving a cut-down example. The unbound text box actually collects its value from many bound text box controls and the required expression is very complex tho i will have to do that if there is no way to do it from code. I just need to determine if its possible in principle...

    alter report data at run-time.

    I can create an unbound text box in the detail section of my report. This text box refers to another control on the report called "Person" when I place this expression in the unbound text box... =IIf([Person]="ed",1,2) .. sure enough it gives 1 whenever the Person control is "ed" and 2...

    modify a report

    I have produced an report/invoice from the table of data. (It contains some subreports as well.) After the report/invoice appears, I might like to modify the data on the report itself- and then maybe save it as an individual modified invoice. Any ideas how to modify the contents of a report??

    printing code in colour

    I want to print my Access VBA code in colour. I usually copy the code - module by module and paste it into Word where I have written a "Pretty Print" routine to automatically print it colour code formatted. This takes ages when I have lot of modules. I got a bit excited when I noticed that...

    formatting contols

    thanks for your - I would have liked to code something but that should keep me busy for the moment.

    formatting contols

    I want to format lots of text boxes which are already on my form to .423 height and Font Tahoma size 8. The format painter does the height only. Is there a way - maybe from code (but presumably in design view) of applying formatting in one go to text boxes for example that I place on the form...

    Field Heading Colours

    Well Thanks. Looks like we'll never know but meanwhile tabular continuous forms could keep me busy.

    Control Source unbound Text Box Error

    Does =IIf([SchemeRef]=52,[Delivered],0) work? how about =IIf([SchemeRef]=52,[Delivered],"") ?(not sure what Type of data [Delivered] is.) how about =IIf(-1,"dummy","") =IIf(0,[Delivered],"") ? etc etc to try to isolate the error.

    Control Source unbound Text Box Error

    not sure why you need the Sum. esp if its a text field? I guess the main thing is that Iff takes 3 arguments not 2.

    Field Heading Colours

    I make a "Datasheet" form based upon a table in 2007. The field heading of this Datasheet form are a light brown. I want to print the form. When I Print Preview it, the colours change slightly but I still have the light brown headings across the top. Are they some sort of "system" colour? Is...

    What good are Relationships

    Well thanks for that. I never noticed that you can only enforce RI from the Relationship window. And I guess that the Join Type set at the the Relationship window is just the default?

    What good are Relationships

    We can 1. set up relationships between two tables eg a one to many and eg set the join type to 1,2 or 3 and save this layout. We can then 2. make a query for the same two tables and maybe choose a different Join type. I don't understand why we need to perform 1. above. Does this just set...

    By the way I wonder just why Current comes to fire more than once?
