AskWoody LoungerThe customer wants the combo box option rather than typing in the fractions. However, I quickly tested your (Hans) suggestion and it worked perfectly. I’ll use it as a “fall-back” plan if I can’t figure out how to combine the combo boxes into one single data in the column called “Total Hours”.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

AskWoody LoungerGood grief. The solution was SO SIMPLE that it was right under my nose.
For some reason, the main form (in which there are several subforms nestled in it) lost the data source. All I had to do was to tell the form to go to the table that it was supposed to use and it is working again.
Sorry.

AskWoody LoungerJust what I suspected. However, why am I getting the error message when it worked just fine last year?
Also, what does the error message mean?

AskWoody LoungerSorry. I was out of town and just came back today.
If I split the hours and minutes into two columns, then wouldn’t it be more painful to try to sum up the time? We run a VERY complicated CrossTab Query that separates service types then sum up total hours for each service type a month. I’d rather to avoid modifying the crosstab query because it was a PITA to set up .
Could we somehow code it so that when we choose hours and minutes in separate combo boxes and somehow merge them and store it in single column called “Service Hours”?

AskWoody LoungerHansV,
Thanks so much for your help. It had been a year or two since I last programmed in VBA, so my skills was somewhat rusty.

AskWoody LoungerGood question. I’ll check others and see if I can find anything different in their routing tables.

AskWoody LoungerThat might be difficult because the forementioned videoconferencing calls are actually Video Relay Services…A public service where I go to a webpage and “request” an interpeter via Netmeeting and then the interpreter “call” me via Netmeeting (I don’t know why this has to happen this way) and then I make a phone call. Check out: http://www.usavrs.com if you are interested.
The biggest problem is that they have a “pool” of interpreters, so I don’t even know what specific IP address I should create in the routing table. Hence, my problem here….I need to somehow to tell my Windows XP to always use my “external” NIC whenever I access Internet via DMZ. What makes this problem so perplexing is that I have already set up 5 machines similiar to mine and all 5 works off the bat without any special configuration. Yet, mine wouldn’t even work the way other 5 machines does.
