RE: Opening a Word Document based on a distinct combo drop down

Hello Chris

Thanks for you post, a few of us have discussed this and based on the limited information we would advise more of a bespoke training session to achieve your objectives.

This would initially involve you sending us some sample files along with a commentary on how you are using them and what the exact functionality you would like to have.

We can then advise on how we can help, the scope of the training and costs.

If you would like to progress this please let me know.

Regards

Jacob

Random sampling

Data is th key to a good database, therefore checking is essential.

A good way of checking data is by random sampling. You can do this in a query, by typing the follow:
1) In the Field box create a RandonID field eg. Randon Id: Rnd(fieldname])

2) sort the field
3)Right click and chage the properties for To value to be the number of randon records you want to see.

4) Change the set to Show row for Randon ID to be False, add all the other fields you want to see and the run the query.
