Hi
This is my first thread here. I have a project in MS Access and i have 2 problems related to it.
1. In all the forms where i have the navigation buttons, the delete button is disabled. I am able to delete records by selecting one of the records and using the delete key on my keyboard. But the delete button on the navigation bar in the form is always disabled.
(In the form properties, i have enabled deletions)
2. Whenever i use the OutputTo command to export a report to a file, i get an error saying that a printer is not installed. But why should i have a printer when i'm just writing data to a file?
Please help me out soon.

1. In all the forms where i have the navigation buttons, the delete button is disabled.
What "delete" button are you referring to? The native navigation buttons have an Add Record button, but no Delete Record button, to my knowledge. You're not referring to that, are you?
2. Whenever i use the OutputTo command to export a report to a file, i get an error saying that a printer is not installed. But why should i have a printer when i'm just writing data to a file?
Someone else here may know better, but I thik it's possible that Access considers this "printing to file" and like any "print" operation, does not allow it if no printer has been detected on the system. Hopefully someone here may have a more definitive answer to this!
Good Luck!

- Just as the other Expert here, I know of no intrinsic Delete button. Perhaps it's one you've added yourself. If so, then you need to code it to do the delete yourself.
- When a report runs in Access, it must have a printer associated as it matches the output to what the printer can handle. That's why, when you design a report, you must specify whether it is the default printer, or another specific printer, to be used.

I am trying to print a report that only some of the records have

of the questions have pictures for reference and some don't.
I have chosen to keep the images in another folder with a test field

I have a question that I'm hoping someone here can answer. Let's say I
have two fields which have a beginning number and an ending number.
What I'd like to do is have Access generate a list of numbers between
the beginning number and the ending number (inclusive) for each row
that exists in my start table. For example, my start table might look
like:
Begin End

I have zero experience with using a SQL database for a backend and Access
for a frontend. I have some questions:
1. Does an SQL database have tables?
2. How does Access connect to the data in an SQL database? Linking,
importing, or ???
3. Earlier today there was a thread regarding DAO and ADO. In the thread it
was said that ADO is very useful when the backend is a SQL database. Could
someone explain that?
