Hi -

I have, from time to time asked whether anyone had a "Recipies" database but have never had any luck obtaining one.

It seems to me that I should be able to "convert" the Charity Donors Sample Database, however, I am having several problems doing so.  I will deal with them one at a time as I come to - and am able to manipulate - each one.

My first problem is this:  I can look at and see the properties for the Amount Field which is a MONEY field.  When I go to the Database Manager; however, which is where I would normally change the field type,  I DO NOT SEE an element for the Amount Field (nor Donation Date and Type).  

I would like to know "why" I'm not finding it in Manage a Database and "where" I CAN find it (along with the two other related fields) so that I can change the field types.

Thanks!

Hi Ray -

Thanks again, for making it so clear and simple and for helping me "limp" along with my project.  

Rick -

I appreciate the advice; however, I no longer use Access.  As a matter of fact my RECIPE database (which I thought was great) was the last and only one I still had in Access.  So, having found the "Donor" sample database, I thought it would be a perfect template and, so far, it is looking good.

Again, thanks for the info.

Hi Ray -

Never Mind - I finally found it in the Subform Donations: On Form Entry

All I had to do was change the message - and remove @exit.  That automatically returns you to the main form and you can continue working without losing anything.
