Id Cards

May 24, 2006

Hello. Is it possible to create a database that will print id cards?

I currently use an "off the shelf" piece of software to track and issue plastic id cards. The software was quite expensive initially and over the years, as my pc/os changed it wouldn't work under w2000 so I am using it on a laptop running w98.

If I want reports printed I have to change cables etc (no money for an upgrade apparently!) so I thought maybe I could import the existing data into an access database, it's simply name/job title/dept etc. but I'm not sure if I could print cards from it. The existing software has a card editor where I drop desired fields on to it and use that layout for issuing the card.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Wild Cards For Both Text And Numbers....

Dec 14, 2005

Hi,

I'm trying to search a field which has both names and numbers in it.

For purely text entries the wildcard search works just fine.... like this:

Like "*" & [What is Last Name?] & "*"

I can type in "Smi" and get all of the Smith, Smiths, etc.



However, when I try to use this for entries which include numbers (123), which should return "Smi123" I don't get any results at all.

Any suggestions? I can put in the SMI123 as straight text in the criteria box, and will get the appropriate record.... so I know it is there!

Thanks .....

Gordon
