Having trouble in Access XP. I want to display the customers name,
city and phone number in a Combo Box but the but the formatting is
lost – eg (123) 456-7890 is displayed as 1234567890.
Any idea how to format the control. From what I can see, the combo
box has a format option but I am referring to the 3rd column. The
results display properly within the underlying query… it’s
the Combo Box that loses the formatting.
Thoughts? Thank you

Try using something like this in the RowSource of your Combo Box
SELECT CusName, CusCity, Format([CusPhoneNumber],"(@@@) @@@-@") AS PhoneNo,
CustomerID FROM Customers;
Note that the bound column will be column 4

I don't know the English word, but I'm referring to the double-dash

Is there anything I should know to make a good decision on which to use,

Hi all
Assume a 2-dimensional list called 'table' - conceptually think of it

I used to fall into the newbie trap of 'row = table', but I have

Hi
In cases where I need to store the session id and/or the remote host in
a database I used to choose tinytext fields so far. Anyway the usual
values for session ids are of 32 characters length, and IP addresses not
longer than 15 characters - so using char(32) resp. char(15) would
actually improve the database performance. But I did not find
informations whether this is safe or not.
So my questions are:
