Abraham, It is presumed that you are ready with everything (including the crosstab query), except the report itself. Once you have a rough idea regarding the...

Bill- How is an ADP more "powerful" than an mdb? Yes, you get some table / view / SP / function editing tools, but they're buggy. I usually end up going to ...
Shawn- In Access XP / 2003, I'm able to link my contacts table twice, but that's not really your problem. I can also edit / insert / delete rows as long as I...
Here i post the code i use to link a txt file into an access database actually , i don't really "link" the file, since i look for a linked txt file ( i mean,...
I haven't tried this from Excel, but in Access if I already have a linked table, I would simply open the TableDef, change the Connect property, and use the...

Another "just my opinion" - part of what I would include in graphic (and other) design would be determined by the target audience/users. If I were trying to...
Crosstab queries are not updatable. You would have to create an unbound textbox and do the updating with code, one record at a time. The SQL would look...
