Sue, if I understand what you're trying to do, you'd need a form with two separate subforms (or a report with two subreports). The form would be catalog items, and the subforms would be pieces and photos.

Oh, I have the form. The form works swimmingly. I need to have this all in a query. So we can run it on a website.

Anyway Supposedly it is fixed on the other end, but I'm still going to play with it. I feel that I'm at the point with db's where I have to learn a little programming to make it do anything more.

there are intermediate levels of the product, one of which does allow you to save fill-in form data, but doesn't allow you to alter the form.

Do you know what the intermediate level would be? I'm curious because the Adobe Reader help file certainly makes it sound like you can export and save data from a form using Reader, if the form has been set up for it:

If the author of the Adobe PDF document enabled the Fill in Form features, you can export the form data to a separate file. Exporting form data lets you save the existing data, which you can then send via email or the Internet. You can save the form data as a tab-separated text file, Forms Data Format (FDF), or in XFDF (XML-based FDF files).

Note: You cannot export or import data in Adobe Reader unless the Adobe PDF file has special usage rights assigned.

on edit: Please to forgive the excessive posting. Next time I'll wait to see if posting worked before hitting the sticky mouse button a million times.

Here in Los Angeles, and from the looks of it in a few other cities Best Buy is doing a Trade In program. I'm thinking about taking, quite literally, a truckload of my old electronics over there and putting whatever I get towards a Plasma TV. Has anyone by chance used this program?

I've been told they are very picky.

"Technology Trade-In will only accept products in good working condition with all applicable remotes and accessories included." for example.

We accept the following Computer products for trade-in. All products must be in working condition. All trade-ins must have intact serial numbers and include all factory remotes, cables, cords and any rechargeable batteries.

Select desktops

Select laptops & notebooks

Colored (sic) monitors 14" or larger

(four years older or less)

Yeah, I'm not taking any computer stuff to them, it's all home electronics. I've got a couple of TV's, a few receivers, a second X-Box, a Radar Detector, a couple of HP laser printers. I figure even a few bucks for the stuff is better than nothing.

Yes, that's true. And? less to move or find a disposal method or even the hassle of selling.

Good luck on that apartment, BTW.
