    Why does my db forget the password?

    I created a nice neat little database and created a single password for it through the Tools > Security > Set Database Password menu option.

    Why can't I delete a new record?

    Why won't my "Or" work?

    VBA is corrupt in 2000

    No, I haven't tried creating a new form. The code is liked directly to the form, it's not stored in a module. So, I can just copy the code and paste it behind the new form and try to run it. I'll try that tonight. Thank I'll try reinstalling Access 2000. Thanks, Lis

    Why is my form always in front?
