Run the Access/Office97 service releases, SR-2b. Some of the VBA functions will not run until you do. I had a similar problem, see thread701-423687

Some exchange servers just delete the whole file. For some reason they mostly believe Zip files are safe!

I remember an earlier Microsoft Advert, which went something like: "I'll be home early tonight, Darling - I'm using Microsoft Software!" So damn true - everything was broken, crashed, unredeemable, so we went home early! ROFLMAO

Thank you gregorweertman. I also forgot: "This is intentionally broken: Fix it at your own peril!"

Off the point, but how much data are we talking about? Like if you copied all the tables off all the "raft of" database files and dropped them all into a single new MDB, and made all the relevant joins, how many Gigabytes? Sorry, how many Megabytes are we talking about? Guide: File...

By all means be flexible. Make sure that your primary data storage/management is compact, normalised, current, and robust. If your day-to-day needs require rapid analysis or querying of the whole dataset by lots of departments simultaneously, by all means produce snapshots of your data in a...

Open source will not make things any simpler - just more open. Therefore your average accountant will not suddenly be able to understand why his printer doesn't do vertical lines anymore. As he couldn't understand under Windows, when the same thing happened. That's why Computer guys will be...

Come on guys. If it lives, it can die, and there's not a lot that can be done after that. However, if someone can make it, someone else can break it. Until it happens, though, the system works. Oh, and if someone breaks it, someone can fix it, until the next time it breaks. By then someone will...

I did a search on this thread for the word " trust " - and well, this is the first occurrence. The essence of my view is that your children may be exposed to all things in their young life, but will they be corrupted if you bring them up in a responsible way? If you censor, will...

If you don't get the full expected result from a control like a combo box on a form, always check that there is no active filter on the form or subform remaining from some previous use of the form.

Toshiba laptops have bios settings which are configured under Windows Control Panel. I just had a machine returned from the distributors with a replacement hard disk. I could not get the bootable Toshiba System Restore CD to install. I had to first load Windows98 from a floppy bootdisk using...

In design view the menu item Insert -> Columns adds a column, but what I think you need is Insert -> Row to have another row to fit another 'Or' criterion into. However, in a single row cell you can type: a or b or c or d Access will change that to: "a" or "b" or...

get hold of a win98 boot floppy disk and confirm that you have a workable CD-ROM, recognised properly by the bios and OS. Check that the bios is configured correctly. Is it cabled in properly? In my experience it is possible to boot from a CD-ROM, setup an operating system, and then find that...

We have just upgraded 23 machines 300MHz Celeron and above to XP Pro SP1, each with a minimum of 256Mb memory, and Office XP. Over two months we have had no issues with speed, stability or useability. I would recommend the upgrade, unless there are compatibility isuues with hardware or software...

Billpower, this is exactly what I do. However the default Office version is XP, and it is a problem stopping Access 2002 from accidentally attempting to open the mdb, if the mdb file is clicked on in Explorer. What I would like to do is change the default ability of later versions of Access to...
