SYMPTOMS
When you use your address book to select recipients for an e-mail message or a fax message in Microsoft Outlook, information from your Contacts folder does not appear in the list.

• Mark your contact folder for use with your address book. 
• Specify either an e-mail address or a fax number for each item that you want to appear when you address messages.

MORE INFORMATION
Outlook allows any contact folder to be used by the address book, not just the primary Contacts folder. For example, if you create a new folder of contacts called "Friends" (without the quotation marks), you can specify that the contacts in the Friends folder also appear in your address book. To do this, follow the steps that are described in the "Resolution" section.

The Contact folders appear in your address book as subcategories of an entry that is called Outlook Address Book. If you click Outlook Address Book instead of clicking one of the folder names, you do not see any contact information. To see the contact information, you must click the specific folder name that contains the contact.

Over and Over Again

Do you use MS Outlook's calendar feature? Do you have some appointments (such as weekly staff meetings or daily deadlines) you enter into your calendar repeatedly?

If so, Outlook can make those repetitive entries for you! To set an appointment as a recurring event, you need to first open the appointment.

Now, go to the Recurrence choice. In older versions of Outlook, you'll find it under the Actions menu. In Outlook 2007, you'll find it on the Appointment ribbon.

When the Appointment Recurrence window opens, you'll have a few decisions to make.

At the top, you'll need to enter in information pertaining to the time of the appointment.

Below that, you'll find the Recurrence Pattern section. On the left side, choose how often the appointment should be entered into your calendar. As you make that choice, you'll notice that the right side changes. It does that because each pattern will require different information in order for Outlook to manage things properly. Once you've chosen between daily, weekly, monthly or a yearly recurrence, be sure to complete the information needed to the right.

At the bottom of the window, you'll need to choose when to start including the appointment and when to stop it (if ever).

Once you make all your choices, click the OK button.

You'll then be returned to the appointment window. When you Save and Close that window, your appointment will be repeated throughout your calendar, just as you requested.

Need to stop the recurrence of an effects viagra appointment? No problem!

If you return to the Appointment Recurrence window (open the appointment and find the Recurrence choice), you'll find a button labeled Remove Recurrence. Click that and then work your way back out to the calendar, saving as you go.

Poof! The appointments are gone.

No more entering those appointments over and over again!

Formatting Yes/No fields in Access reports

Date:October 2nd, 2007

Author: Mary Ann Richardson

Check boxes are fine for data entry, but you may not want to use them on a formal report. For example, suppose you have a Yes/No field in your Employee Records table called Insurance. If the employee signed up for your company’s life insurance plan, the box is checked; if the employee declined the insurance, the box is not checked. You want to create a report that lists employee name, ID, hire date, and whether the employee declined or accepted life insurance. Follow these steps:

  1. Create a query that displays Employee ID, Lastname, Firstname, Hire Date, and Insurance field from the Employee Records table.
  2. Right-click the Insurance field in the Query Design view and select Properties.
  3. Click in the Format property box and enter the following code:
;"Accepted";"Declined"

  1. Click the Lookup tab.
  2. Click in the Display Control property box and select Text Box.
  3. Close and save the query.

cheap viagra without prescription align=”justify”>When you create a report based on this query, either the word Accepted or Declined will replace the check box in the Insurance field.

Eliminate blank pages in your Access report

Date: March 11th, 2008

Author: Mary Ann Richardson

When every other page of your 10-page Access report prints out blank, your first thought may be to change the report orientation from Portrait to Landscape. Rather than spend time redesigning your report layout, open the report in Design view and check the position of the report controls next to the right page margin. If any of the controls touch the right-margin border or even override it, Access automatically increases the right page margin to accommodate the controls. If this increases the margin past the eight-inch mark, Access cannot print the entire page on one piece of paper. (The blank page is actually a printout of the rest of the preceding page.) To eliminate the blank pages, follow these steps:

  1. Open the report in Design view.
  2. Click on the right border of any control that extends beyond the eight-inch right margin mark and drag it to the left so the control is within the margin.
  3. Repeat step 2 for each control extending beyond the margin.
  4. Go to File | Page Setup. (In Access 2007, click the Page Setup button in the Print Preview ribbon.)
  5. Click on the Column tab.
  6. Under Column size, click in Width text box and enter 8, then click OK.
