New to Group

[tambourine63]

I am a member in another Access group and they have helped me a lot. I
am designing two databases for my company. But I'm having a couple of
problems they don't seem to be too quick to help me with, so I thought
I'd join another group and get your insight.

I don't know how to start because they have been complicated problems
to explain, but I'll try.

One of the databases has nine reports - very complicated reports -
that I'm trying to insert a chart into. I've got the chart form
designed, but when I insert it into the report, it doesn't show up.
You would probably have to see that one to get the full jist of what
I'm trying to do.

On the other one, I have a list of classes in a table with
subcategories. I want the user to be able to pick a class and have the
subcategories filter based on what the first combo box has input.
Again, I don't think I'm explaining this very well. I can provide more
info or upload the database.

Thanks!

Tam

Take a look at http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0028.htm. That site, by
the way, is just chock-full of useful information.

As the newsgroups are not just for providing free tech support, but for a
learning and teaching experience as well, and with as much malicious code,
viruses, worms, etc., that abounds in the Internet, it may be a bit
difficult to find someone to download and dig out what you are talking
about. It's much more productive to be very specific, copy pertinent code
and detail information into a newsgroup post.

It's also much more productive to summarize the topic of a post in the
Subject, instead of an appeal for help or sympathy. Many of the people best
qualified to answer may well not have the time and energy to open the post
to determine if it is a subject they can address, or are interested in
addressinng.

It's, finally, also much more productive if you limit a post to one
question... making it easier to summarize in the subject line, too.

For more good suggestions on effective use of newsgroups, see the FAQ at
http://www.mvps.org/access/netiquette.htm.

Thank you Larry. I will take a look at the link you sent me, and then
if I need more help I'll post a message with a specific subject line.
I appreciate your replying to me! Have a great day!
