Sorry, CDMA, I searched this NG on several combinations of words, but
I didn't find a relevant hit, so here's my newbie question:
I have an Access 2002 table which contains data extracted from Oracle
9i for a specific date. The table is then queried and about 15
different reports are generated, based upon those queries. My problem
is that I'm now developing several new reports (I haven't used Access
since 1996) and I discovered that each report contains a label with
the specific date of the Oracle extract.
I don't want to have to manually edit that text label on 15-20 reports
each day the extract is loaded (which typically is weekly, but
somethings it's 2-3 times a week). I created a table called
Master_Date with 1 field (Master_Extract _Date) which is type
Date/Time. I want to be able to insert the extract date into that
field, save the table, then have each report use that field as the
source of the date.
I tried setting the control source on the report field - my original
entry was:
=[Master_Date]![Master_Extract_ Date]
However, when I save the changes and close the properties box (or vice
versa) the brackets are removed from the entry and I get the following
error:
The MS Jet database engine does not recognize 'Master_Date' as a valid
field name or expression.
I *have* tried HELP, but I must be missing some Access-specific
terminology because I'm still stuck...
TIA,
Glenn

Glenn,
Put the following expression in the control source of a textbox on your reports:
= DLookup("[Master_Extract_ Date]","[Master_Date]")

I know this is probably an easy question, but I could not find/figure it
out.
Basically, I am printing mailing labels with a "Sorting/Grouping" section
that groups the label types together. Also, I am using a "Report Header" to
show a count of how many total labels that are being printed.
Now, my problem is that without the "Report Header", the spacing is perfect.
But, when I add the Report Header, it gets shifted downwards and the...

I need to design a report based on a rota system for staff at various
shops. The data is effectively stored in a single table, along the
lines of:
Initials (e.g. BH, FG, RM etc.)
Day (e.g. Monday, Tuesday etc.)
Shop (e.g. Shop1, Shop2 etc.)
StartTime (e.g. 8, 13 etc.)

I've got a report that's not sorting correctly. I build a SQL

the data the way the user chooses. The user can choose up to 3 sorts
using a form that opens before the report opens.
When the report previews, it ignores the users' sort request and always
sorts by the primary key even though ORDER BY is explicity set to
another field other than primary key.

Alrighty Guys and Gals, I have another question that I hope you all can help me with.
I have a report that uses a cross-tab query as its record source. This cross-tab query is getting all of its information from another query. That query, qryRpt, is pulling information from several different tables. One of these table is tblDistributions, a table that holds monthly distributions for a particular investment, and the second is tblDeduction, a...

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.
Here is my compilation command:
