Hi,
I have a form in which 3 fileds are displayed on the top banner. They are DATE, NAME, LOCATION.
1. I want to make DATE filed dynamic where it whould read system date and display on it when ever I open that Form. I don't know what control to take for this whether LABEL or TEXTBOX.
2. Name field should display the name of the person who logged into the system or it should display some name and when it is focused it should become a combo box from where I can select the other name.
3. Location filed also should work like above where default value should be displayed and when I click on it it should be editable. i.e. it should become combo box and should allow me to choose different option.
Is this possible? Can someone suggest any idea on how to implement this.
I tried doing it by keeping Labels intially but they were not editable.
Even if I use TextBoxes I am not getting any idea how to implement this.
Thanks,

You are asking for an awful lot of information here. However, I will try to give you some guidance to get you started. Then when you have gone as far as you can you can post another question to clarify the issue where you get stuck.

2. Name field should display the name of the person who logged into the system or it should display some name and when it is focused it should become a combo box from where I can select the other name.
There are two issues here. You need to create a combobox of all the users.
You don't say how your users are logging in. Is there a table of user names? Are you using their NT log in or are you using Access Users workgroup? Clarify these questions and then post a new question about how to retrieve the name of the currently logged in user.
Once you have this name you can set the combobox to this name in the forms On open event.
3. Location filed also should work like above where default value should be displayed and when I click on it it should be editable. i.e. it should become combo box and should allow me to choose different option.
Again you need to create a combobox of all the possible locations. Is there a way of finding that location based on the user login or do you just want the user to be able to select.

I have 5records, e.g. Rc1, Rc2, Rc3..., when user open up a form, I
want it to open to a particular record (say Rc3) then when user chooses
the Record Selector , it will go to Rc2 and , it will go to Rc4.
If I use Sort in the query, it is sorted alphabetically;
if I do not sort, whatever is the latest record will be on top.
Any help/insight will be appreciated.

Hello,
I am importing a flat text file, and putting it into a datagrid for display
on a form.
Currently the users have their dates and times seperated. I have two
fields, therefore in the datatable feeding the datagrid control. Both are of
the DateTime Type. How do I get the time field to display only the Time, and
not the date, which is apparently the default.

I created a dropdownlist containing day, month and year field and expose a property to assign a date. When I call from a aspx page and assign the value, the new date is not displayed until a submit is performed.
How do I force the usercontrol to display the newly assigned date? I don't have this problem if I place the two dropdownlist and the year field directly on the aspx page.

But the problem is that the work is in another class from the main class.
So it couldn't access the Status Line or textbox.
