I just don't understand this 2007 office acess and excell. It is so
complicated.
i want to set up a data base to track merchandise by location and
department. i.e. Clipstrips, wingstacks, sidecaps, and endcaps. I would
like to tell the location that it came from, for easier pack out and price
changes.

You get many on one help right here. If you are attempting to decide how to
set up your tables, consider posting a question in the Access database design
news group. You need to provide specifications on the types of values you
want to store.

Hello Linda,

The first step in creating a database is to design the structure of your
tables. The design of your tables must be normalized to best use the
functionality of Access. To answer your question in your subject line, I
provide fee-based help for Access, Excel and Word applications. I would like
to offer to design your tables for you. My fee would be very modest. I would
provide a map of the tables that shows each table and all the fields in each
table. The map would show all the relationships that exist between all the
tables and for would show the type of each relationship. The map would show
the general flow of information and visually show what forms, reports and
queries can be created from the tables. Finally I would provide a database
with all the tables set up for you. If interested, contact me.

It also helps to have access to a good book on MS Access.
You should also become familiar with Access's own HELP system which contains
a wealth of information.
If you are compleltely new to Access, expect and plan for a considerable
learning curve.

stevie is not an expert, he is just our local troll who likes to harrass
posters for money.

These newsgroups are provided by Microsoft for FREE peer to peer support.
There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie
is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of
"FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he
was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be
flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he
needs to constantly grovel for work.

A few gems gleaned from the Word New User newsgroup over the past Christmas
period and a few gems from the Access newsgroups to show Stevie's
"expertise".

Word 2007 ..........
In older versions of Word you could highlght some text then go to Format -
Change Case and change the case of the hoghloghted text. Is this still
available in Word 2007? Where?
Thanks! Steve

I am designing a series of paystubs for a client. I start in landscape and
draw a table then add columns and rows to setup labels and their
corresponding value. This all works fine. After a landscape version is
completed, I next need to design a portrait version. Rather than strating
from scratch, I'd like to be able to cut and paste from the landscape
version and design the portrait version.

How do you protect the document for filling in forms?

Not at all. If it's just a simple list then a spreadsheet is perfectly
adequate...

This function is specific to the example but not generic for any amount paid
out.

No, it would not look like

Left("YourString",Instr("YourString","VbCr" Or "VbLf") - 1)

First of all, the constants are vbCr and vbLf: no quotes around them. With
the quotes, you're looking for the literal strings.

Second, you can't Or together character constants like that. Even if you
could, Or'ing them together in the InStr function like that makes no sense
at all.

Sorry Steve, even I can see that this is a useless answer. I made it pretty
clear that "CW259" is just ONE possible value for the control.
