v\:* {behavior:url (#default#vml);}v\:* { BEHAVIOR: url (#default#vml)}Hi Gustav, I love lazy! Problem is though that there are 42 controls that I want to change depending on the "strInitials" picked up when the name of the member of staff is selected to open the form. What I am looking for is the correct syntax for something like Me.MonTotDBAdmin.ControlSource = "=DSum('DCAdminEventTime','qry" & strInitials & "_Mon')" Which I know is completely wrong but I have forgotten how to use those %$*^"£$ "s and 's but would create =DSum("DCAdminEventTime","qryEM_Mon") if strInitials="EM" Chris -------Original Message------- From: Gustav Brock Date: 29/11/2006 16:22:02 To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] Single and Double Inverted Commas! Hi Chris How about a lazy solution: strControlSource = "=DSum('DCAdminEventTime','qryEM_Mon')" Me.MonTotDBAdmin.ControlSource = Replace(strControlSource,"'","""") /gustav >>> cclenright at yahoo.com 29-11-2006 12:14:08 >>> I am getting too old and have been away from programming far too long I never have understood the use of " and ' completely Could someone please correct this for me, Me.MonTotDBAdmin.ControlSource = and what I want it to equal is =DSum("DCAdminEventTime","qryIG_Mon") but with the IG being replaced with strInitials My attempt with strInitials="EM" came out as =DSum('DCAdminEventTime','qryEM_Mon') and wouldn't work Thanks Chris -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com --------------------------------- Cheap Talk?
