I'm back in the Access development mode and seem to have forgotten how to do
2 things that should be simple. I have a database with a table of contacts,
companies and activities. The idea is that I'll put in a list of companies,
a bunch of contacts that work at each company, and an activities form that
allows me to input every activity I do for each contact.
The activities table includes a lookup field (also named contactID) for...

Question#1:
Many of my forms have combo boxes (e.g. CustomerID). The combo box
looks up CustomerName from CustomerID in the Customer table. Am I
better off including CustomerName in my query (which the form depends
on)and have the combo box based on CustomerName or is it better to
limit the query fields by using just CustomerID? I'm guessing that
keeping queries to a minimum will impact the speed in which queries
take place.

I'm beginning to understand a little about lookups, but just a little.
Here's another question I'm wondering about.
I want to input a part# and then input a department code (G,D,B) and
depending on the department code have Access find the corresponding file to
lookup. In other words I could have a scenario like this
Part# Department# lookup File

Hi,
I've been reading a lot about not using lookups in tables lately.
Thus far, what I've been able to understand from my reading is this:
- Do not use lookup fields in tables because they hide what's really
stored (e.g. 'Joe Bloggs' is displayed, '4' is stored as the ID)
- Instead, use combo boxes on forms, taking their values from tables or
queries.

We are moving a rather large application to the VB.NET platform.
This application has a ton of table lookups.
ie. code & description or code, category & description or code, class,
category & description
Most of the users know the more common codes and will just enter them
but occasionally will need to look these codes up (especially when a
temp is using the system!!).
How would the VB.NET veterans handle this?

I need to learn how to process a byte stream from a form reader where each
pair of bytes has meaning according to lookup dictionaries, then use the
values to build an array of rows inserted into a sqlite3 database table.
Here's the context: The OMR card reader sends a stream of 69 bytes over
the serial line; the last byte is a carriage return ('\r') indicating the
end of record. Three pairs (in specific positions at the beginning of the...

Summary:
1. I want to define a column in anMS Access table to be lookups on other
tables.
2. The table that is the data source (e.g the "parent" table) has a
composite
primary key.
3. When the "child" table does the lookup, it should pass all the columns
necessary
to properly restrict the data returned to the litbso for he lookup.
4. How do I accomplish this in a lookup?

Ola all. In responding to a recent post requesting help with a search
issue, I recommended using a combo box lookup in the table design.
"paii, Ron" (no relation) posted this reply:
" There are many posts in this group explaining the pitfalls of using
the
lookup feature in tables. Best practice appears to be, keep the
lookup in
the forms using combo box or list box."

Hello All,
I don't have a problem (but maybe I will after I explain). I have a
question with regards to something I saw in Access 2007. But first, a
little backstory:
I'm writing a very small stock database. For now, it will simply track
what products come in (Stocks bought by Project) and what products go
out (Stocks sold to by Project) . There are three tables: Products,
Transactions and Projects.

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
