How to phrase If/Then clauses in the control source field
anonymous,
1 - How about a name? Even if it's just a "newsgroup" name. It's hard to tell all of the "anonymous"s apart. 2 - You didn't really say. Did you finally get it working? 3 - You weren't a "bother." Just an annoyance. :-) To help us help you in the futu 1 - Try to use the right group. This was more of a code with a form problem. The "microsoft.public.access.formscoding" group might have been a better group than "tablesdesign." 2 - Be straight with your experience and what you need. It's OK to not know things. It is not OK to hide it. 3 - Unless you've taken other database and programming classes, having just started using Access a week ago, I suspect that you're not really ready to be working with code. 4 - To be honest, this explains why you're breaking basic design rules with your "combined" field in the first place. 5 - My recommendation on the book was based on a bad assumption. I incorrectly assumed that because you were venturing into code, that you had a *very* solid understanding of databases and Access. Based on only using Access for a week, you should probably start with some more basic books. Take a look at "Database Design for Mere Mortals" by Michael Hernandez and "Microsoft Office Access 2003 Inside Out" by John Viescas. After you get a solid Access foundation, then start looking into code. Good luck anonymous. Sco M.L.

Hello Sco and Tina, Thank you both for all your help! I'm really sorry I didn't understand what you were saying the first time around and ended up bothering the both of you so much. I just began using Access last week, and I had't learnt enough to utilize your advice. I apologize for all the trouble and I will get "Beginning Access Book" you recommended. Once again, I really appreciate all the help you've given me and I'm sorry to have bothered you so much! |
