Hello John,

If you don't find one, I can build the database you need for a very modest
fee. I provide fee-based help with Access, Excel and Word applications. My
fees are very reasonable. Contact me if you need help.

These newsgroups are provided by Microsoft for FREE peer to peer support.
There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie
is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of
"FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he
was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be
flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he
needs to constantly grovel for work.

A few gems gleaned from the Word New User newsgroup over the past Christmas
period and a few gems from the Access newsgroups to show Stevie's
"expertise".

Word 2007 ..........
In older versions of Word you could highlght some text then go to Format -
Change Case and change the case of the hoghloghted text. Is this still
available in Word 2007? Where?
Thanks! Steve

I am designing a series of paystubs for a client. I start in landscape and
draw a table then add columns and rows to setup labels and their
corresponding value. This all works fine. After a landscape version is
completed, I next need to design a portrait version. Rather than strating
from scratch, I'd like to be able to cut and paste from the landscape
version and design the portrait version.

How do you protect the document for filling in forms?

(The original poster asked how to sort a list and stevie offered to create
the OP an Access database)
Yes, you are right but a database is the correct tool to use not a
spreadsheet.

Not at all. If it's just a simple list then a spreadsheet is perfectly
adequate...

(In respose to a perfectly adequate GENERIC solution stevie wrote)

This function is specific to the example but not generic for any amount paid
out.

you can then return all the characters in front of it with the Left()
fumction. Would look like:
Left("YourString",Instr("YourString","VbCr" Or "VbLf") - 1)

No, it would not look like

Left("YourString",Instr("YourString","VbCr" Or "VbLf") - 1)

First of all, the constants are vbCr and vbLf: no quotes around them. With
the quotes, you're looking for the literal strings.

Second, you can't Or together character constants like that. Even if you
could, Or'ing them together in the InStr function like that makes no sense
at all.

Sorry Steve, even I can see that this is a useless answer. I made it pretty
clear that "CW259" is just ONE possible value for the control.

Steve said:
Hello David,

Open your report in design view and select txtOrderID. Open properties and
go to the Data tab. Put the following expression in the Control Source
property:

=IIF([chkActive],"CW259","(CW259)")

I have never come across one, but it would not be very difficult to create
one from scratch. If you wish to learn, we are all here to help you do
exactly that!

Daniel,

Thanks!! Yes, I would very much like to learn. So, here goes.

We are using Excel spreadsheets to track daily employee absences by
department and use these spreadsheets for recording absences by either
scheduled or unscheduled. We created a separate row for totaling the number
of scheduled and unscheduled absences by using If function. On the same row
is total number of employees, total absences by type, and a "department
status;" the number of available employees after subtracting total absences.

My goal is to create a database that users can enter their absences by using
a form tied to a table and then setup a switchboard with user options for
report writing, data entry, etc.

I created one table with employee records (ID #, location, dept., etc.). I
need to create at least one or two more tables and create appropriate
relationships between them.

Since I am new to Access and database design, I am uncertain of how to
setup the other table (s). Any suggestions would be very helpful.
