I've seen this subject here in a similar fashion, but not in a fashion
that can easily be accomplished for my purpose.
Simply put, I have a form, I have about 2 dozen fields on this form,
that I may need to move to the next record. For example:
first_name
last_name
address
address_2
city
state
zip
phone_home
etc. I will have specific information to track - like how many items
I have loaned out to a particular person. So, if they have 6 items, I
don't want to have to retype the same information six times.
For some reason, I have been asked to duplicate that information,
rather than have six options for items. Hence, all this data will
need to be duplicated to another record, like the table example below
john smith 35 main street anytown ma 55555 camera nikon
D90
john smith 35 main street anytown ma 55555 flash generic
john smith 35 main street anytown ma 55555 tripod Bogen
john smith 35 main street anytown ma 55555 battery Duracell
lithium
Hope I didn't give too much information, but enough for any help.
Thanx in advance for all those that help me with this project. I'm
volunteering my time for a non-profit organization, so I don't have
the budget to look outside the web.
Cheers,

We're using SQL Server 7 with an Access 2000 MDB as a front end with ODBC

are complaining that unsaved data is being lost when they move to a new
record. This seems to be the case when there are multiple users. When there
is a single user using it, we don't seem to have that problem.
It seems that we had this problem when we first converted from an MDB back

I have a pretty straightforward database that is designed to record
free-form information about products (date, source and a memo field).
This is searched and updated via a form. For new records, the memo
field is usually filled by cutting and pasting from e-mails, web

The only problem is that some of the memos can be just a few words,

I am trying to copy selected fields from one table to another, by reading

I need to copy a record one access record into the same table. I just need
to modify a couple fields that the user will change. Im sure there is an
easy way to do it. I have started just reading the data and writing a SQL
insert command, but there are a ton of fields. It would take forever to get
the datatypes correct and the SQL formatted properly. Anyone know how to
just copy a record and make a couple changes to it?
Thanks

Hello all,
This is my first attempt at an application, so kid gloves are
appreciated.
I need to make a very simple form that only has a few elements. One is
TraceCode - a text field that is populated when a user scans a label.
The other is ScanDate - a date/time field that should equal the
date/time of the scan (e.g. 7/31/2006 5:00:00 AM).

Hi all,
I have a situation where I have a split database. At the back end, I
need to
- create a new table (I will call it newTable) with the exact fields,
and relationships as another table (let's call it oldTable, and I need
to copy everything EXCEPT the data).
- Then I need to delete oldTable, and rename newTable 'oldTable'

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
