    Hosting the access file on a server and having multiple remote users

    I am making a database to coordinate the activities of my band (how rock and roll!)... Is there a way I can somehow host the file remotely, and have users (4 total) access that file through their own computer using access, so they can write, edit, delete records? We have a db at my work that...

    Keyword search!

    Im trying to add a keyword search to my page - I've added a button and it works fine in bringing up the "find" dialogue box. However this defaults always to the "whole field" option, whereas what I want is it to default to "any part of field". Can this be achieved, if not, is there another way...

    I have a query which returns charge_cost (based on course cost, whether it went ahead, if hospitals are eligible for charging etc) which is then used in an existing report. I want to make another report which simply is: Total training spend for 2004-2005: £1276.04 And i just want that to be...

    Need help with this report: counting rows returned I THINK :S

    Hi I have been asked to do a report which for each training course provided, shows how many staff from each profession has attended (GPs, nurses, admin etc). The idea is that the trainers can then see if groups are getting enough training etc. I have made the following query (this is the SQL...

    Cascading combos not working when in a subform

    Heya Ive got my combos working fine now (thanks to all you kind folk on this forum!) but now that I have opened the main form (in which the combo box form is nested), once I have selected an item in the first one, and then click on the 2nd combo, a parameter box comes up saying "Forms!Training...

    Are you sure you want to do that? (etc)

    OK as part of my combo box dilemma I want a message to pop up and say "are you sure you with so change the xxxx field". This is because it seems all to easy to accidentally use the scroll wheel without noticing and change someones course date in error! ( i keep doing it on my mock database) So...

    escaping characters

    Hi guys I want to put "E&OE" on the bottom of an invoice, which apparently means errors and ommissions excepted. However the report obviously is taking this as some kind of concatenation and is thus showing EOE! I know how to escape characters when Im doing stuff in PHP but not in access...

    How to deal with events across more than one day

    Right this is a fundamental issue for me here and I cant get my head around the problem!!! The database I am working on is a database which records the training courses (run by the NHS) which staff at GP surgeries in our area have attended and acts as a booking system for them. So we have the...

    When using cascading combos - requerying other fields

    OK ive got my 2 vaguely working combos which select the surgery, and the staff. On the same form I want a couple of tickboxes which show for example, whether a person attended the course, if they had to pay etc (all yes/no answers). How do I get the tickbox to update? i have tried to requery...

    cascading combos: changing which field is displayed once selected

    I have set up a form which has 2 combos. Combo A pulls from a query which gets surgery address1, address2, and surgeryID. It displays only the first 2 fields. Combo B gets info from a query getting staff firstname, surname, title, staffID and surgeryID, and shows the first 3 fields. I have...

    This query for a rowsource not working

    Ive posted similar in the forms section but it has gone unanswered so I've pulled out the offending query and hope someone here can offer insight into this frustrating problem. I have a form [Training Record] that has 2 combo boxes. Box A (course_title_combo) has the titles of the various...

    Could someone look at the prob with form on this DB?

    My combo box problem is still at large! I've tried every way i can, and i cant get the rowsource query right. If someone could look at this and post a fix, so that when one uses the "training record" form it allows you only to select course dates that are already in the tbl_course_dates table...

    "You cant go to the specified record" - changing the message

    Pretty simple i hope: I have a few "next record" kind of buttons and when you reach the last, or you are on a subform where there is only 1 matching record to the parent, instead of this un-user friendly message, I would like it to say for example: "No more surgeries to display for this...

    Adapting this combo box query problem

    OK ive spent half the day on this now and am none the wiser. In an earlier thread i was shown how to make a 2nd combo box use the value selected in the first to narrow down a range of dates for courses. The example works fine and I understand it with the following two select queries: tables...

    Combo box value needs to change with record...

    There are two main methods of navigating around the top-level form on the database I am currently working on. One is by a drop down menu listing GP practice names - so you can scroll down to "Dr Watson" for example and then all the subforms display the correct info. The second way is by...

    Storing the values from a parameter query for use in report

    OK I have a query which selects training courses attended, between user specified start and finish dates. The query works fine, and the report displays just fine - What I would like to do is to put those dates at the top of the report ie the title of the report: TRAINING SPEND SUMMARY FROM...
