Re:Date field - solutions, ideas
Hi Rick, Very quick response. Unfortunately "date" data format is of no use for genealogists, because it doesn't like dates such as "23 Jan 1711/2", and some even get muddled up with older years such as 1798 or 1898, whilst being quite happy with 2007. Will that still work on dates pre 1900? Any suggestions? Regards Jeff ...

Append query help
Hi, I have 2 tables, let's say A and B. Both tables are basically the same with a few differences. Table A has records from 1/1/04 to 8/13/06, the date/time field is one field with date/time format, about 10 other fields are in text format but need to be changed to number format. All other fields are exactly the same and don't need to be changed. Table B has records from 8/13/06 - 12/31/...

Is it considered good/common practice to purchase third party digital certificates for security purposes e.g. to get rid of the security message bar when someone opens up a database ? or do most people get by without this.

Access 2003 Reference Book?

I've researched "Access 2003 Bible," "Microsoft Access 2003: The Complete Reference," and "Alison Balter's Mastering Microsoft Access 2003" at the online bookstores, but the reviews are more puzzling than r...
