Hi, I am about as green as they come in using VBA and have encountered an area that leaves me scratching my head. Below is my situation and what I would like to do; I just don't really know how to get going.
I would like to create a form that allows a user to select one of five categories using radio buttons. Let's say Cat A, Cat B, Cat C, Cat D, and Cat E. Once they select the category they click a submit button that sets into action a query that will update the records in the "category" field of the table. So if they select Cat A, a query will then update all the records in the "category" field to "A".
How do I go about doing this? Mostly, I have no idea how to go about doing the coding. Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
Brian

Let's say the name of your form where the radio button is found is "frmPets"
and the name of the radio button set is "rdoCategor y"
On the Update To criteria of your query, use =[Forms]![frmPets]![rdoCategory]
Now that button of your form should be programmed to run the update query.
you can use access wizard to do this.

Hi, I'm a bit confused ... when would I rather write an database
application using MS Access and Visual Basic and when (and why) would I
rather write it using Visual Studio .Net?
Is it as easy in Visual Studio to create reports and labels as it's in
Access?`
The advantage of VS.net is that not every user needs Access, right? And
that would eliminate the Access version problem as well I guess.

Hello,
We are in the process of examining our current main application. We have to
do some major changes and, in the process, are questionning/validating the

tables, 200 forms and sub-forms, 150 queries and 150 repports, 5GB of data
(SQL Server 2000), 40 users.
I'm wondering what are the disadvantages of using Access as front-end? Other

I'm in a bit of a pickle.
My employer, a health insurance firm, had me design a small database to
track benefit issues. The intended users were technical specialists and
some managers (about 90 people, no more than 10 concurrent users at any
one time) all of which had Access 97 loaded on their machines.
Everything was going smoothly, and I delivered them their VBA
application that does everything they initially wanted it to.
