Access - Forms

Creating a Form in design view: why do I get two sets of fields when I try to drag them across to the Form?

RE: Access - Forms

Hi Jenny

Thank you for your question regarding Access forms.

When you add a field to the access form it has two parts, the label and part to edit the data, for example a text box or combo box. The label is merely there for presentation of the form. Is that what you are seeing?

Please let me know if that makes sense.

Access tip:

Deleting duplicate records from a table

You cannot delete records tables where there duplicate records. A way around this is to create a new table which wont hold the duplicates. and then deleting the old table.

1. Use a make-table query based on this table only. IMPORTANT - Ensure that you include all of the fields from your original table or you may loose data.

2. Open the query's property sheet by using VIEW, QUERY, PROPERTIES, and set the Unique Values property to Yes

3. Because you have selected the Unique Values to Yes when you run the query, Access creates a new table without duplicate records. You can now delete the old table and rename the new one.
