RE: Importing

It is pretty big. Depending on the version that you are using, a table cannot have a total file size bigger than 1 gigabyte. This means that the number of records is flexible, depending on how much informtion you have in your records.

Remember that each caracter is 1 byte
1kb = 1000bytes
1mb = 1,000,000
1gb=1,000,000,000 bytes

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.
