variable interst rates, etc.) exist?
I have looked and looked and none of the existing templates in Office are
really perfect for managers of (non-profit) homeowners associations. In
Excel the different categories of info (tax map, participants of real estate
trust w/contact info, special billing for certain services, which contractor
is assigned to what and their contact info, whose interest is due this
quarter and for what (interest on past due fines is at a different rate than
interest on assessments, etc.)and formulas stretch the thing out to row AD.
It would be nice if there was an existing template.

I run a database for a homeowners association, and it's needs (and thus the
database) are completely different than yours.

My guess is that you will not find one that meets your description.

Hello,

It is highly unlikely that you will find a template for your specialized
application. You have three options; you can continue to use your Excel
workbook, you can create a database application or you can hire someone to
build the database for you. If you decide to DIY, there will be frustation
along the way to getting it done. Depending on how much you know about
Access, doing it yourself could take considerable time as the learning curve
is long and steep. If neither of those options appeal to you, I would like
to offer to build the database for you. I provide fee-based help with
Access, Excel and Word applications. My fee would be quite modest for this
application. If you are interested, contact me.

If stevie was any good, he would not need to pimp his services. He would be
swamped with repeat business.


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.

To Superc and Tim R.

What you need is someone to help you make some practical decisions on what
you want it to do, and then, you will end up with a fairly simple but
specialized-to-you requirement. The latter is predicated on the users being
careful, and understanding Access a bit. In this case, you might try to
get a little paid help, but not from someone who violates forum rules and
solicits here. If your users are neither, then it would be a much larger
job to make a bulletproof application that persons knowing zero about Access
will easily use, in which case those "expensive" apps might not really be
expensive.

You are both welcome to the DB that I run (for free,) but it is not
documented, and is complex/abstract in that it tracks residences, people,
their past and present roles and history, business offerings that might be of
interest to residents, and prints all of that out (is also a companion to a
CAD drawing/map of the subdivision with who lives where ) but does not have
a billing section because being Treasurer is "not-my- job-man!"
