is there a way to fill a column with the same information. i have tried everything from highlighting and pasting, changing settings; and i still have to fill in the same info by hand. any help would be great.
no i am not setup in sql. this is just for a table. there isn't a forum for tables anywhere. so i posted it under sevral to see if anyone knew anything.
What kind of table? No one can help if they don't know what program you are using.
And you are right, there isn't a forum for 'tables'. But there's probably a forum for whatever program you are using.
I'm going to take a guess that you are using Microsoft EXCEL. There is a forum for that. But this is the solution:
Click once on the cell with the information you want to 'copy' into the rest of the column or row. That puts a black box around the cell, use the cursor and 'grab' the lower right corner of the cell (put the cursor over the lower right corner and hold down the left mouse button). Drag the lower left corner in the direction you want the 'copy' to happen, when all the cells are shaded, let go of the button.
There are forums for Microsoft Access. Go to the search at the top of this page and enter Access in the left box, Find a Forum in the right box and then click on GO.
Click on one of the links for Access in my signature block:
SELECT 'forum' CASE [SQL TYPE]
WHEN 'MySQL' THEN 'forum436'
WHEN 'Access' THEN 'forum700', 'forum701', 'forum702', 'forum703', 'forum704', 'forum181'
WHEN 'ORACLE' THEN 'forum185' 'forum186', 'forum759'
