I also see, that, although Referential Integrity of those tables is not seen to be checked in the Edit Relationship Dialog box, it is established as well as Update Cascading, while Delete Cascading is not. Is my observation right and I don't need...

I know that I can code every OpenOtherForm button on the Board, but then minimzing won't happen when I'll just point the cursor to already open form. In other words, how can I make the SB go down every time the ot...

Access 2007 Pre-Test (Prior to taking Certification Test)
I've been studying Access 2007 and I'd like to find a good pre-test before I pay for the actual Certification Test (MCAS).

Why does my database have two files to it?
I recently took over an instrumentation and control group. We have a database that we keep our calibrations in that has two files to it. I'm not sure why is that because it's on a network? I have been looking at it and there is duplicate tables in it, macros that point to the wrong directories, tables that don't key to the correct piece of hardware, etc. It's a mess. I am quite ...

DSUM??
I want to create a new field with a query, and sum the records in an existing field, based on the criteria of another field. In other words, let's say I have an Invoice# field and an InvAmt field.
