Check text field value against underlying table or query of combo box
Hello, I have a form on which the user can enter new records or update existing ones. If the user enters a new record on the form, I would like to have an 'After Update' event on one of the text fields, which is the item# to check if the value entered already exists in the underlying table, tbl_item. How can I call the table from the 'After Update' event of the text field and check for that value in the table? Thanks in advance. Regards, A. Crawford

If Me.NewRecord Then
If DCount("*", "table", "[item#]=" & Me.textbox)= 0 Then
' item is not in table
. . .
Else
' item already in table
. . .
End If
End If

Convert Cell Text to Matching Hyperlink?????
We have an Excel spreadsheet that contains information to scanned images being populated into our engineering database.

Large amount of cell text
Hi, We have a case where we have received records from a Hotmail subpoena. Microsoft has put the records in an Excel spreadsheet with all emails for a six month period being contained in a single column and tens of thousands of rows. The problem I am having is that some of the cells that contain the text from the email messages are very long, and makes reading of the cells difficult. An attempt to save to or publish to a different format for easier reading causes truncation of the text in those particular cells.

VBA solution to paste text into megred cells
I do realize that merged cells are bad news. I'm stuck with an Excel 2003 worksheet, which contains this dreaded feature.

And: "Cannot change part of a merged cell." Interestingly, though if the user hits F2, which places the cursor in the formula bar, then the paste operation works!
