This seems like such a simple question, and I thought I knew how to do it, but I can't get it to work.
I have a form that is bound to a table 'ETL" and users can enter data into that form.
I want at the top of that form to include teh build number a value form another table "Version-Table"
I put a text box in with a link to a query (SWB - DLU Version Number) that finds the maximum number in that version table.
I put the control source as:
=[SWB - DLU Version Number]!MaxOfDLU_Versi on
But when I open the form all i get is a "Name?" in the box.
I also have a report I am creating and trying to do a similar thing, and it gives me the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You have to use: - DLookup("[Field Name]", "[Table/Query Name]", "Where Clause")
The "Where Clause" is a filter criteria built like the SQL Where clause but without the WHERE.

Thanks for the help. I just have another question...
So for he Where "Clause" do I need to include the query information or can i just call on the query I already have defined?
Also, would I do the same thing for the report?

You can't call a query for the Where clause. It's there to specify which record you want to return. If there's only one record then there's no problem. Otherwise you have to tell it which record to return by saying something like "[ID] = 4".
Yes, it would be the same for the report.
Great - got it to work
Thanks!

I am designing a database which needs approximately 50 fields per
record. The database user requires data entry to be via a single
screen.
If I follow good database design practice and split the 50 fields into
several smaller tables, is there any other way to enter the data on the
single data entry screen other than having several subforms with the
individual tables as their recordsource?

Hi,
I have a form with unbound fields on it. The user selects a record
from a recordset and I populate the unbound fields. When I try to
change the unbound quantity text box, Access 2003 tells me "The data
has been changed. Another user edited this record and saved the
changes before you attempted to save your changes. Re-edit the
record."
This does not always happen. And yes, I can re-edit the quantity text

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.
