Default Migrate to access ... help !!!

These newsgroups are provided free-of-cost. Your soliciting paid work here
is a violation of the Rules of Conduct.

Feel free to post your offers on "for pay" newsgroups. I'm sure there are
many folks here who would be happy to tell you where you can go...

Hello Jos,

Do you want help migrating to Access? If you can send me a listing of your
tables and fields in each table, I could create Access tables for your
data and then build the forms for entering data. I wouldn't need to see
your lotus-approach forms; I could build the Access forms from just
looking at the tables. Regarding reports, if you can send me a screen shot
of your lotus-approach reports, I would be able to create Access reports
that display the same information as your lotus-approach reports.
Otherwise, if you can give me a detailed description of each of your
existing reports, I would be able to create Access reports that display
the information you describe for each report. We would work together to
give you an Access database that is "alive and kicking". The end result
would be an Access database containing all the lotus-approach data and
with the same functionality as your existing lotus-approach database. You
would be able to see how an Access database is setup and an application is
created. You would gain a good background for building future Access
applications. My fee to work with you would be very reasonable.

I would like some experts-advice ...

I have:
Developed a database in lotus-approach (97), wich is alive and
kicking.
Unfortunaly, this application runs only on a (out-dated) PC with W95
setup/platform.
The current data-tables are stored in DBF-files. The form and reports
are in the seperate 'apr'-files.

I want:
migrate to access ...

Is it possible (wise), both applications manipulate the
tables/records?

How do/can I proceed?

Regards,
Jos

These newsgroups are provided by Microsoft for FREE peer to peer support.
There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie
is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of
"FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he
was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be
flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he
needs to constantly grovel for work.

A few gems gleaned from the Word New User newsgroup over the Christmas
holidays to show Stevie's "expertise" in Word.

Word 2007 ..........
In older versions of Word you could highlght some text then go to Format -
Change Case and change the case of the hoghloghted text. Is this still
available in Word 2007? Where?
Thanks! Steve

I am designing a series of paystubs for a client. I start in landscape and
draw a table then add columns and rows to setup labels and their
corresponding value. This all works fine. After a landscape version is
completed, I next need to design a portrait version. Rather than strating
from scratch, I'd like to be able to cut and paste from the landscape
version and design the portrait version.

How do you protect the document for filling in forms?

One of my favourites:
Dec 30, 2008 8:07 PM - a reply to stevie
(The original poster asked how to sort a list and stevie offered to create
the OP an Access database)

Steve wrote:
Yes, you are right but a database is the correct tool to use not a
spreadsheet.



Not at all. If it's just a simple list then a spreadsheet is perfectly
adequate...

I think I'm finally understanding ...

confronting you = "tieing up the newsgroups with your crap"

calling you on your violations of the Rules of Conduct = "stalking"

not calling you on your violations of the Rules of Conduct = "providing
useful assistance"

Thanks for the clarification.

John,

Well, you heard from one of the real experts (Jeff) who is taking a very
thorough and cautious approach. Plus from Steve who, as he has done with
many others, derailed your thread by asking for money.

All said and done, I think that my 7/23 post would be a good direction for
you.
