NORTHWIND questions

Hi everyone
I am new to this and have tried to customize the northwind.mdb to my
company. My problem is that after an order is written the number of
items in stock does not get automatically updated i.e I have 6 pcs of
product a in stock and reorder level set at 2. I write an order for say
5 pieces of the item. Shouldn't I get a warning telling me that my
reorder level has been reached and update my product list units in stock
so after 5 are sold I am left with one? Is there a macro I need to run
so I can update my items in stock and get a list of items for which the
re-order level has been reached?
Thanks in advance

Northwind does not even try to update the quantity on hand.

Inventory tracking is a big question, and there is no simple answer.

Long, long ago when Access 97 first hit the streets a sample database called Northwind was shipped with it. At that time a number of articles had been posted on the correct procedure to remove all the sample data. Does anyone out there still have this information?

Hi Folk I looked at the Northwind Sample Database for the first time recently and I was just wondering why they made it so ugly. If northwind is supposed to be inspiring to young and hopeful access programmers then why does it look straight out of an 1984 slapstick? MS Corp surely must have a couple of capable designers to make things look pretty. Did I offend anyone? It is just my opinion, i may be wrong so do not take it personally...

Can't open Northwind I remembered doing walkthrough using Northwind. However it wasn't an http project but a file project using the development server. Northwind allowed me to add, edit and insert, and the web page looked fine. I opened a simple project just to see whether I could get my sqlserver on the internet. (vs studio 2005, sqlserver 2005)

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
