Hi to u all !
Would any one have time to teach me why when i've tried to run a
procedure on a code window i've a macro window openned with all
the names of procedures in the Db but the one i try to run?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards Penta.

Have you declared your sub as Public??

I have declared it as Public and the result is the same.
I have lots of informations missing on the procedure because i have copied
it from Microsoft On-line help.Probably they suggest macros to have
the missing informations supplied.
Thanks JpJoe for ur attention.

Can you supply the link you used?

I am sending u the code from the link:

Transpose table access 2002

 Dim db As DAO.Database

 Set db = CurrentDb()
 Set rstSource = db.OpenRecordset(strSource)
 rstSource.MoveLast ' Create a new table to hold
 â€˜the transposed data.
 ' Create a field for each record in the original
 â€˜table.
 Set tdfNewDef = db.CreateTableDef(strTarget)

I dont think you can call functions from the macro window. you can only call them from code or expressions. I might be wrong though.

What i would do is create a sub that calls the function -

Sub CallTransposerFunction() 'No arguments
    Dim strSrc As String
    Dim strTgt As String
    'Populate the variables required
    StrSrc = "Some String"
    strTgt = "Another String"
    'And call the function
    Call Transposer (strSrc, strTgt)
End Sub

Note - Dont use arguments in the sub or else it wont appear. you need to Populate the variables inside the sub and pass the lot to your function.

Hope this helps!!

Thank u JpJoe !
I will give a try.

JpJoe !
Thanks again for ur help.
I have used ur procedure and it saved me from figuring out how to achieve
a higher step on the Transposing Task. But i'm still having two messages
when i run the function: 1) the field is not wide enough for ...; 2)no
current record ! About error message (1): the fields of the newtable are
wider than necessary; about error message (2): i have not a clue about it.
It showed up after i've cut the records of tb source to 1/3 of its past
total.
Hope i've made myself clear.

Hi Penta,

The Function you are running sets all the fields as text type at a length of 255 characters. Make sure that you are not trying to use this function with Memo datatypes. If so then you will need to add some code to the function to truncate and coerce the memotype to a texttype.

As for the No Current Record error, Is your source table Empty???

What is the structure of your source table?

I'm working on the Suppliers tb of the Northwind.mdb. And the source tb is not
empty for sure.
