Dear Rick,

After working through Access 206 and 207 I have a few questions/problems.
First of all I did not succeed to build in a weekday field into the TaskListF. I copied it from the TaskF where it works perfect. After trying several options and comparing the properties on both Forms I just can’t figure out what’s wrong or were I went wrong. Like in th TaskF its in the same section so that shouldn’t be the problem. Properties are set write, also the Names and sources.
I know it’s not in the course but it would be nice to see it also in the TaskListF.

Secondly I cannot get the “later today” button to work properly. Same problem; on the TaskF it works fine. I followed several times the instructions and video but I cannot figure out this one either.
The result is in the best case a number instead of date and time.

Thirdly ….. is there any way to set a value to pop up the TaskF in a proper manner?
On my PC this Forms is coming up every time I open the TaskListF or change the selected row, in front of the TaskListF. No matter how or from what position I save or close them.

And although in the lesson you set the Filters on TaskListF  (Task2Q) your filter didn’t work on first attempt on my PC it worked fine. So I checked and guess what I set the criteria without “=” up  front.
Only problem it works only with one field and the “all tasks” checkbox must be checked (on).
What about this?? Probably MS…
And/or because at this point I didn’t remove the “newrecord-line” beneath the tasks in the form.

The Filter on the Description I didn’t managed to get working, so I removed it (for now)

After doing 3 times the 207 lesson I give up because I am certain the spellings are correct and everything else is like in the lesson.


Thanks in advance and greetings from Holland
