So it looks something like this: Master - Master on Main Name - ABC Company Address - 123 Anywhere St. Jacksonville, FL Description - RE: Sf Install...

Autonumber stopped incrementing to next highest number
I have been having this strange occurence on one of my relationship table - not frequently but 2 times is enough for me. Apparently the Autonumber seems to stop incrementing to the next available highest number and begin to give a number that's already in existence . That of course will give the error on "Unique identifier - blah blah blah" To temporary correct this problem I have bee...

Text file import with mixed data
I have a rather large text file and because of the way the data is retrieved, some columns have alpha and numeric data. The alpha characters will always be "NF" (without the quotes). The numeric will be in dollar format. When you import the only way I know of so that I do not lose the "NF" records, is to format those columns as text. My problem is I do need to make calculations on t...

Hey, I'm trying to program a few queries in MS Access using VB. For my insert query, I'm importing an Excel spreadsheet using the 'transferspreadsheet' function of VB.

importing with forms/macros
Hello, Currently I have some forms & macros in place that allow a user to import a text file to the database. The problem, however, is that the user is forced to put the file in a particular directory, and rename it to a specific name so that the transfertext function used in the macro will be able to find and import the text file (using a spec, also). How can I change this so that ...

Locking/conflicting INSERT/VIEW
I have a back-end sitting on a web server. The web form does INSERTS to a table in the back end. This works fine. I also have a front end that links to the same table in the back-end (on the web server). The front end has a view-only datasheet on the table. Whenever this datasheet is open, all inserts to the table via the web form fail. If the front end is open but not accessing the table...
