Cheers.

I m new to IT.I wish 2 operate DOS through excel.

For example , in DOS we write some command and then press enter, then dos displays the information concerned with that command.

Is this possible to do this, i.e writing command in DOS and pressing enter jst by writing a programme in excel.Plz note DOS screen is already opened on the desktop but we cant touch this DOS screen,everything should be taken care of by excel.We will be forcing Excel to do this by writing a programme in excel and excel will automaticaaly switch over to DOS and then type command and press enter and then displays information.

MS Access – Count of parent table items in a report

LegacyDave — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 20:43:24 +0000

I have an MS Access database with a parent table and a child table. Table A (the parent, an Order table) has a PartID field, an OrderDate field, and an CustomerID field. Table B (the child, Parts) has a PartID primary key field and a PartDescription field. A relationship joins the 2 tables on the PartID field. My report has a query defined for the Record source, and does a left outer join along with a search on the OrderDate field. My report lists all Orders with the requested date, and displays all of the parts associated with the Order.

What I want to do is display (in the report footer) the count of Orders in the report. All I am able to count is all of the parts for all of the Orders in the report.

Any ideas? (HINT: this is more difficult than it sounds!)
