Alison Balter at MS Access Solutions developed the application that helps us to properly service all of our members. This program handles billing, payments, tracking of jobs worked, available list, and other important data about our members. The system automates many tasks that were previously performed manually, allowing our employees to more cost-effectively use their time.

Programming Access Field And Queries
Call MS Access Solutions at (323) 285-0939 for a FREE consultation.

Removing A Field from the Query Design Grid
To remove a field from the query design grid, follow these steps:
- Find the field you want to remove.
- Click the small horizontal gray button (column selector) immediately above the name of the field. The entire column of the query design grid should become black.
- Press the Delete key or click Delete Columns in the Query Setup group of the Design tab.
Assume that you have decided to remove the Region field from the query design grid. Use the horizontal scrollbar to see the Country/Region field on
the query design grid, and then do the following:
- Click the column selector immediately above the Country/Region field. The entire column of the query design grid should become black, and the
cursor turns into a downward-pointing arrow.
- Press the Delete key to remove the Country/Region field from the query design grid.
Inserting A Field After the Query Is Built
The process for inserting a field after a query is built differs, depending on where you want to insert the new field. If you want to insert it after
the existing fields, the easiest method is to double-click the name of the field you want to add. If you prefer to insert the new field between two existing
fields, the best approach is to click and drag the field you want to add, dropping it onto the field you want to appear to the right of the inserted field. To
insert the Business Phone field between the Job Title and Home Phone fields, click and drag the Business Phone field from the table until it's on top of the
Home Phone field. This technique inserts the field in the correct place. To run the query, click Run on the ribbon.
Moving A Field To A Different Location On The Query Design Grid
Although the user can move a column while in a query's Datasheet view, sometimes you want to permanently alter
the position of a field in the query output. You can do this as a convenience to the user or, more importantly, because you will use the query as a
foundation for forms and reports. The order of the fields in the query becomes the default order of the fields on any forms and reports you
build using any of the wizards. You can save yourself quite a bit of time by ordering your queries effectively.
To move a single column, follow these steps:
- Select a column while in the query's Design view by clicking its column selector (the button immediately above the field name).
- Click the selected column a second time and then drag it to a new location on the query design grid.
Follow these steps to move more than one column at a time:
- Drag across the column selectors of the columns you want to move.
- Click any of the selected columns a second time and then drag them to a new location on the query design grid.
Move the First Name and Last Name fields so that they appear before the Company field. Do this by clicking and dragging from the column selector for
drag until the thick black line jumps to the left of the Company field.

Expert Microsoft Access Programmer In Montogmery, AL
When you need a Microsoft Access programmer for your Montogmery, Alabama business, call MS Access Solutions at (323)285-0939. With
over 25 years as full-time Microsoft Access programmers, we've developed database applications for a wide range of business sectors incoluding but not
limited to the following: U.S. government agencies, hospittals and medical clinics, colleges and school districts, U.S. military, landscaping and agriculture,
head-hunter companies and human resources departments, and insurance agemcies and companies. Our expertise covers advanced Microsoft Access and SQL Server
database programming, tailored to meet your business needs.
In addition to large-scale Access development projects, we take on smaller, highly specific database tasks that are just as important for daily operations.
These include repairing damaged Microsoft Access forms, whether they fail to open, load improperly, or contain broken controls that disrupt data entry. We
also fix broken reports that no longer display accurate data or generate output the way they should, ensuring they provide the insights your business needs.
When queries misfire, producing incorrect results, running too slowly, or not executing at all, we troubleshoot and correct the underlying logic, join
conditions, filters, or syntax. We also work on Access macros, helping clients create new automated routines or fix existing ones that no longer function
properly. If Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code is causing problems, we debug and refactor it for stability and better performance.
We repair tables that are missing indexes, have structural issues, or are linked improperly, which can cause lookup failures or performance lags. If
your database relies on external data sources, we address ODBC connection errors caused by incorrect drivers, invalid credentials, outdated DSNs, or
broken links. These issues can prevent your application from accessing critical data, and we resolve them to restore full connectivity.
For clients dealing with cluttered or poorly designed forms, we streamline layouts for better usability, improve tab order, and adjust control behavior
to reduce user confusion and prevent data entry mistakes. Even a small fix in form design can make daily tasks easier and help eliminate user errors that c
ompromise data integrity.
Our work results in stable, well-functioning Microsoft Access database applications that operate reliably, provide consistent results, and support your
business without interruptions or unexplained errors. Whether you're dealing with a single broken form, a failed connection, or a poorly structured table,
we help restore functionality.
