Placing the Same Value In Multiple Forms

We have an Access 2K application that uses multiple forms. We
currently hardcode the release number in a label on each form but this
gets tedious to do each time there's a new release. I thought it would
be easy to put the new release number in one spot (a table) and have
each form reference that table/release number in a text box that I
would add to each form but, apparently, it's not as simple as I
expected it to be. Would appreciate anyone who could shed further
light on how to do this.
Thank you, Sheldon Potolsky

I just used the DLookup() method which worked fine but the version
# on the textbox on my form has a flashing block cursor on it. Is
there a way to get rid of this?


That has nothing to do with DLookup.

All it means is that:

1. your textbox is enabled/locked, or not disabled at all, even
though it's not editable (it should be disabled and locked).

2. your textbox has the current focus.

Fix #1 and #2 won't be able to happen at all.

I don't use textboxes for this -- I use labels. That way I don't
have to muck around with disabling/locking at all.

Like, I know if several checkboxes have the same name, I can get the ones that were checked after submit with a request.form("name") and maybe do a split(request.form("name"),",") to cycle through them. I tried the same thing with textfields (input type=text), but doesn't seem to work the same. Do they behave differently?

Using A2K. I've got a form with 2 subforms (a subform within a subform). When the user enters an amount on the main form, I place that amount in subform1 with no problem but can't seem to get it placed in subform2 correctly. It remains zero. Below explains it better hopefully: Amount: $25 <user enters amount and it gets placed in subform1 amount> <Subform 1> Fund #: <blank until user enters> Amount: $25

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
