Hello. I am new to access, but have had great success in creating an application. My one user is requesting a function to save time in data entry... and I am stumped being the plebian that I am.
My application is used to enter land owner information by parcel (40 acre lots). For example: for parcel #1 someone owns the land, someone owns the mineral rights, someone owns the water rights, etc, etc... and we inventory about 36 square miles of land (about 600 parcels) for now.
My master on the form is the Parcel ID, and the child subforms are the different categories of ownership (surface, mineral, etc) sorted by their legal descriptions (Parcel ID - which includes Township, Range, Section, QQ).
I want to create a function that works like copying something to the clipboard, but I would be "copying" the current records in the subforms so I could "paste" them into a different Parcel ID record.
Here is my question:
How can I copy all the records on a subform (using a click event), find a different record (parcel), and then "paste" them into the same subforms (using a click event)?
Keep in mind I will need new auto numbers.
Do I store them as a variable? Use an append query? If someone could start me off on the right foot, I would be grateful. If you need more details I will provide.
Thanks,
Adam

Copying data isn;t the way to go in a normalized database.
You should identify the "correspond ing" fields and create another table with an autonumber ID for them.
You can see the Northwind.mdb as a sample. Not every order will hold the Customer Address information, there's a tblCustomer and there's the address. The order just holds the CustomerID.
The same way you need to rethink your tables.
Getting the idea?

Dear Access developers,
I have a lot of cut and pasting to do from Excel to an Access form.
But instead of just pasting, I want to "add then paste" the value.
Does anybody have a way to do this? Existing code would be
appreciated!
In other words, I'd like to right click on a form text box and add the
value stored in the clipboard to the existing value which is in the
text box.

Hello,
I am tring to write a clipboard spy that catches events from the
clipboard.
I used the SetClipboardViewer api to get events when data is copied
into the clipboard, and also GetClipboardOwner to know where the data
was copied from, but i don't know how to get an event when data is
being pasted... not in my application only, anywhere.
Is there an other way other than a hook on the keyboard?

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:
