"Does not contain" on a Text Field
How do I filter a text field in a table so that my list "does not contain" a key word? I am not sure how the expression should look and my attempts at researching a solution have failed. Can I filter on a keyword or does it have to be an exect match? i.e. I want to eliminate all records that contain the word "Administrative" [dbo_MSP_EpmTask]![TaskName] «Expr» Not "Administrative" ? ...

Import data to drop down list in another excel file
I've been reading on how to create a drop down list, and name it, but I can only get it to work in the same document that I typed the data for the drop down list. It says I can import that list into another document if I name it and put "=name" in the function box, but it's not working. Any suggestions?...

Re-setting numbering
I posted the following question to the wrong Access group. My apologies! We have 35 controlled documents that are issued throughout the year, generally in packages of 10 to 25. Each controlled document has its own control number, which is set by the database based on date of issue. So, for document "Walking" the first package of 10 issued in 2008 had numbers 08-0001 through 08-0010...

Use a current record to enter new data but keep the old data
I have a database that holds all of our clients information and I have a few that have duplicate information except for the file numbers for example. I need to know if there is a way to pull up that information & use as a template to start a new file. I have thought about having a separate table holding the name & address information and then an other one that has the file numbers. I ...

List box in subform
I wonder if there's anyone else out there working on a database on a Sunday afternoon (again). I have a main form Event and a subform EventJobTitleStatus. At present I have a combobox on the subform for the JobTitle and another for the Status and this works fine. But really as I have to put the event Status against every job title (and there are lots of them) it would be better if I had...

Using different versions with several users
Im in a small office where the users are on several different versions of Access. Some are using 97, some use 2000, and some use 2003. I need to build a database, and I want to be sure before I start that everyone will be able to use it. Do I need to build it in the earliest version that we use (97)? If I were to build it in 2000 would everyone be able to use it? I plan to set it up as split ...

Runtime Error 2465
I am trying to use a query (q_OpSupSecurity) with a 'IsNull' to limit input to a textbox. The query is based on a table where Operators =1 and Supervisors = 2. The query is acting as a filter to remove values that shouldn't be allowed into this textbox. I get a "Microsoft Office Access can't find the field '|' referred to in your expression" error when I try to run the code. How el...

Formatting number columns in a report
I have a report that is based on a rather complicated query. Some of the columns in the query are calculated values with a lot of Case conditions. When I put these columns on a report I don't have any formatting options. Some of them display correctly with commas and two decimal places while others only display the number and rounded decimal amounts. I have tried typing in my own for...
