AskWoody LoungerOh, allright, I’ve tried
sSQL = “Select [tbl_500 – Data].[Pay Date] FROM [tbl_500 – Data]” with the same “success” LOL
Thanks -

AskWoody LoungerImagine there are Excel files saved in directory as
abc-12012004.xls
abc_1/12/05.xls
abc122320004 etc.
And every pay/period it adds up.So I can ask Client to use naming convention, but how am I suppose to control it when I am gone?
Plus people will come and go and here is no IT people to check on it or fix it if broken.
Then how am I suppose to find new file if I don’t know (it is not set) what date does it have?I need to come up with whole System Idea and I can’t because all this is a nightmare (datawise…lol)
Let say I allocated file on Share Drive and told to save Excel files into it. How will I be able to find the newest one and extraction is going to have to be done using Wizard, right? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

AskWoody LoungerI never linked Reports to Excel, I would rather do it from Access as I need to write Queries and add calculation and stuff…
I can however instruct them to use set location but sometimes those Reports are Summary for few month and file is only weekly, by-weekly etc. So I have to combine them.I am trying to think of which way is best, I am open for suggestions.
Thanks HansV -

AskWoody LoungerThanks so much for bearing with me, we are almost there, I mean all works except once in 20 searches I get error messages like “Data has changed” and I know because I am changing it. LOL
I’ve added Private Sub cmd_Clear_Click()
List_Result.RowSource = “”
txt_Search.SetFocus
txt_Search.Text = “”End Sub
I would like one button to change caption to Clear record instead of having 2 buttons, can’t find in help.
Thanks HansV for your time and help

AskWoody LoungerHi!
Now I am entering item in search textbox. Result shown in a Listbox. Then I want to enter another result and if it is Last Name – I am getting error message “Data type mismatch in criteria expression” When it is 37988 it searches.Also those 2 problem columns wouldn’t show unless I will close and re-open ListBox.
Thanks again -
