    Building a spreadsheet with VBA.

    I'm trying to learn VBA to get some special features into a spreadsheet I am creating using Excel 2007. I'm trying to use condition formatting where, by selecting "Open" from a drop down list the entire row becomes formatted. How can I do this and for multiple rows?

    Is there an easy way to produce XSLT?

    I've been trying to develop a method by which I can import XML data into Indesign CS3 with it being already formatted. Indesign does support the use of XSLT stylesheets when importing xml. The problem is, I'm new to xml and have no clue how I can achieve what I want to do with the data. Is there an easy way that I can use XSTL to do what I want? The project that I'm working on has a time limit so I'm trying to get this done in the quickest way p...

    Line breaks for xml (using InDesign)

    I know that xml focuses on data and not the format but I have to ask, how are line breaks done? I'm trying to import some data into InDesign using the xml import function but the data simply flows from one tag to the other or uses weird spacing when the white space is considered.

    I want to learn vb, where do I start?

    Hey guys, gals.

    After this site opened my eyes to the wonders of database development, my next objective is to learn VB so i can become more competent. The problem is, where do I start? Anyone have any books or sites that a beginner should use to learn VB on his own? Suggestions or anything that you find useful is also welcome.

    replied to How to stop inputs in a dropdown box?
    Thanks for the code, it worked. Using this code stops a more serious error that occurs when the user attempts to enter information that does not exist in the table which is linked to the dropdown box. So I'll take the user doing a little extra work any day....

    How to stop inputs in a dropdown box?

    I'm creating a form that uses a lot of dropdown boxes that takes information from other forms. Is it possible to prevent the user from inputting information that is not found in the dropdown box? i.e. only the information found in the dropdown list is selectable.

    I tried the code again with the changes and got "Compile error: Method or data not found." The cursor stands on line 5.

    Here's the code I used.
    Code:
    Private Sub delete_indep_Click()
    On Error GoTo Err_delete_indep_Click
      
      If MsgBox("Sure you want to delete this record?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
       CurrentDb.Execute ("delete * from Project_Contact_Record where Contact_ID="

    Ok, I went to insert the code for the delete button and found this:

    Code:

        DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
        DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 6, , acMenuVer70

    Custom delete messages

    I've created a form and used the wizard to create a delete button. Upon testing, I noticed that the warning message would be very confusing for some users. How can I create a custom, user friendly warning message that comes up once the button is pressed?

    How do I create a hyperlink button on a form?

    I'm trying to create a hyperlink button on a form that does the following:
