Galaxiom and Vassago - your adopted parents argument dilutes my dilution argument. My brother recently married a woman with three kids and he treats them as if he were their dad, they call him "Dad" and they have a great little family. Though I won't fully back down because I think there is...

In a report there is a text box that disappears if certain data appears in a record. It is supposed to disappear but I cannot determine why it is disappearing and I need to fix the criteria that make it disappear. The text box is unbound (the control source is ="Bonus Point Legend"), and there...

Well, that's a decent start. You are right to focus on getting your table structure right before moving on to anything else (though, I'm not saying your table structure is right yet). Now do some reading about table naming conventions and field naming conventions. One good source is Jon's...

Right, and depending on how you are updating the table, doing the conversion in Access is probably the better way to go. Here is a possible solution: 1 - Add this code to an existing module or create a new one (this is simpler than what I found online) 2 - Be sure that you set a reference to...

Right. We are not a theocracy and were definitely not intended to be. We don't want Islam's Sharia being the law of the land either, or any other specific religion's moral code. So government allows religions to practice freely. They can regulate themselves internally, but no government...

So here is one of the negative effects that gay marriage has on society (though not directly on my marriage), and you all have discussed it, partially, in this thread. Gay marriage dilutes our society of meaningful and important labels. In that world or perspective the label of "Parents"...

I think if you spend some more time studying about relating tables to each other, or relational database theory you'll get the answers you need. If you're going to be responsible for the database now and in the future, you will need to know it so invest the time. Once you get a decent grasp of...

One way to do this would be to do your conversion in Excel before you bring it into Access. Here is a link that teaches you how to do it: twigstechtips.blogspot.com/2011/06/excel-easily-convert-hyperlinks-to-url

Why do you feel that Christianity feels justified in killing Muslims? I know what happened during the crusades but that was centuries ago. It is not "Christianity" killing Muslims, it is Muslim extremists killing Muslims and the Allied governments killing Muslim extremists. Yes and if members...

You could say the same thing against the non-religious. In fact, I think their intolerance towards religion and the religious is becoming quite vehement. I'm already liking this forum. I promise, though, I didn't join it for the "Watercooler" discussions (though most of my posts have been...

Actually, the First Amendment doesn't even use the words "separation of church and state." This is all it says concerning religion: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" The original intent of that statement was to...

And I'm tired of the religious argument being diminished and slighted as being archaic or irrelevant. Separation of Church and State, or the First Amendment, was established to keep government out of religion, not the other way around. The US was founded by religious men and if you discount...

Ok, so I know we are coming at this from two different perspectives. Mine is that Adam was the first man and Eve was his wife. The writer of Genesis uses the term "wife" or "wives" quite regularly. And marriage is also discussed and acknowledged in the New Testament. Your perspective, I...

Hello, I suspect that what you are trying to do may not be an included feature in a subform. I searched for a few minutes to try to verify that but I haven't found anything yet. I'm using Access 2010 and tried duplicating what you trying to do in one of my own databases and had the same result...
