Is it possible to translate a code into text in report ???
Thanks to those who provided me guidance to transale code to text in the

For example change 1 to manager, 2 to supervisor, 3 to operator, etc.

Capturing Procedure Names in Run-Time Error Messages
Hi, 
 
Is there a way - object property - which you can query in VBA to get the 
 
name of the procedure that is running when the error occurred.  I can see

Opening PDF documents using a Command Button

Repost...Newbie needs help with SQL or DAO problem
Hi I've been banging my head with this for some time. 
 
I'm converting Joe Celko's nested sets into Access, and I have it 
 
working, but it's so inelegant, I'm convinced there's got to be a 
 
better solution.  Basically a nested set is a hierarchical 
 
representation for relational databases.  There's not much need to 
 
understand other than each record has two field named 'left' and 
 
'right' which determine where the record falls in a hierarchy and that 
 
Element ID is a primary key.  L ...

autocenter controls on form
Hi, 
 
I have a rather simplistic problem that I can't find a solution to! I have a 
 
form that I want to maximize every time it opens (which I have achieved 
 
through DoCmd.Maximize in the Form_Load event), but I also want that all the 
 
controls in the form, staying positioned relative to each other, center 
 
themselves horizontally on the form once it is resized. Maybe I can set a 
 
property that always makes them stay in the horizontal center, which is also 
 
great. How could I accomplish this?
