VBA Help

1 New Member
I have created an Access 2016 database and need some advice on Primary Keys and a Combo Box.

I think I set my database up wrong by using a Combo Box in a table. I did that so I could select a Retailer name while entering records. Trying to get the Retailer name and not the RetailerID on Forms and Reports, it hasn't been that easy. So, I have decided to start a new database, hopefully, the right way this time. I have imported into a new database the Inventory table and the Retailer table.

With a large Inventory table doing this manually is not an option, it needs some VBA code to transfer the results of the Combo Box to a new Field within the same table. I created a new Field called Supplier. The Table has a Primary Key and is assigned to each record and each record has a Retailer who supplied the Item.

Needed is a way to transfer the Retailer name from the Combo Box to the new text field in the table that is associated with that record. This way I can eliminate the Combo Box and all my headaches and build the database the right way.

Transfer:
Retailer name from Combo Box to new Supplier text Field for each record.

I have learned a lot by watching videos and reading, thus screen name RedEyes.

Thank you

Missing Help Files When I enter "recordset" as the keyword and search the Visual Basic Help index, I get many topics of interest in the resulting list. But there isn't any information available from clicking on many of the available topics (mostly methods but some properties are also unavailable). This same problem occurs with many, if not most, keywords. Is there any way I can activate these "missing" help topics? HELP!

Do you all use HTML help workshop to create your help system. I am finding it quite clumsy to use. Mayeb because I am not used to using it.

I've managed to get a nice little chm help system written. Now I need to display it! I added a HelpProvider to my MDIParent form and set the namespace of the HelpProvider to be the help file.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
