I need to change the year and move monthly sales figures along in our monthly Budget Reports.
Is there a calculation/formula that can be used?

Hi David

If you are familiar with SQL, you could use SQL update to update all the information. If you are not familiar with SQL, I would suggest using a macro.

Hope this helps

Hi David,
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately it does not answer my question.
Please remember that I have done a beginners course. Therefore my knowledge is very limited.
What is a macro? This was not covered on the day.
What I don't understand is if I have a primary or index key already in the database why, when trying to save a form do I get the error message of " A primary or index number cannot be a null value"?
To use that well worn movie quote "Treat me like I'm a 3 year old" !
Look forward to your reply.
Regards
Dave Willis

Hi David

For you to firstly understand the issue you are trying to fix and then to solve it, I would advise coming on our intermediate course and then the advanced course. What you are trying to achieve is fairly complex and I think this would be the best course of action for you.

Hope this helps
David

Access tip:

Open A Combo Box Automatically

This is helpful if users need to enter large amounts of data. There are two ways to open ComboBoxes when they get the focus by using the tab keys.

When the ComboBox gets focus:

Press Alt + Down Arrow on the keyboard

For it to happen automatically, needs a bit of coding:

1. Add a combo box and a text box control to the form
2. Set the combo box's On Got Focus property to the following event procedure:

Private Sub ComboBoxName _GotFocus()

Me!ComboBoxName.Dropdown

End Sub

3. Open your form in Form View and use the TAB key to make sure it works.
