    Question Auto-filled fields not populating table

    Beetle you were probably wondering what happened to me. I thought I attached my db file, but apparently it was too large, and I didn't see the error message. Here's a zipped file that gets under the size wire. School starts tomorrow! We're SO busy! See my original note, above. Lance

    Question Auto-filled fields not populating table

    Question Auto-filled fields not populating table

    Beetle, Two issues related to this change. One, in the IssueNew form if I exit the saved form and then go back into the record the Category field appears blank, and Priority retains it's selection (either Minor or Major). If I click in the Priority field, then the value originally...

    Question Auto-filled fields not populating table

    Problem resolved! I can't believe what the head-banging problem was all along! A misplaced = sign. In the Priority field macro I had an equal sign preceding the Control Name in the Requery portion, Control Name =[Category]. Removing the equal sign so it was, Control Name [Category]...

    Question Auto-filled fields not populating table

    I don't know how I get myself into these things! :banghead: I think I've done everything you suggested. I edited the Category field to include the ID column. I edited the Issues table to include the Priority field from the Priority table as a number field. I edited the Issues table to...

    Question Auto-filled fields not populating table

    Remember me, Beetle?! Since I work for a school district things had stopped on this project you helped me with over the summer. Now, a new school year is approaching and my boss has thrown a new feature request at me. Since I got myself in trouble with this template previously by changing...

    Question Auto-filled fields not populating table

    Sean, I'm stumped. The error log reports the Email is erroring in the Named Macro, Issues.EmailToAssigned. It says, "The identifier '[varTransAdmins]' could not be found." in the context, "SetLocalVar varTransAdmins, [varTransAdmins] & ";" & [Users].[Email]". There is no statement...

    Question Auto-filled fields not populating table

    Sean, I received the database last night, just prior to the end of my shift. I didn't have time to do anything but extract the zip, and take a quick look at the macros, etc. This morning I loaded up my test record and clicked the Email button to see what would happen and got errors. I'm...

    Question Auto-filled fields not populating table

    Sean, I think you attached the wrong zip file. Thanks so much for all your help! You are correct I was working with a Microsoft Template file. Being a real rookie, as I'm sure you could tell from my footprints in the template, I didn't try to change too much in fear I would break...
