    replied to Problem with MS ACCESS and Excel
    We had a slightly similar problem, probably not related. The user who was having this problem was not very experienced, and would hold down the shift key for too long, and sticky keys would turn on, which would keep the shift key held indefinately.

    Long shot, but you may want to look at it, if you haven't got any other ideas!...

    You may have created the field in the table, and the table is working properly, but when you go back to what you're used to looking at, it's not actually the table, but a form that's based on the table. If that's the case, you'll need to add that field into the form as well, which will display records from the table and allow you to choose assessors.

    Multi-level Access SQL query:

    Stupid question...

    I have a database, and sometimes it's necessary to move a record from one table to another. I'd like to find a way to (within AccesSQL) to perform the following actions (within 1 query)...

    Select a record from table A based on user input. Accept input from the user for two other fields to be used later.
    Create a record in table B with 3 values from the record in table A. Add the additional info...
