I had a similar problem with a report that has sub-reports. When there was nothing in a given sub-report it would leave a blank space. I solved the problem by setting the Can Grow to Yes and on the main report making the sub-reports 0.01 inches high. There was a gap but it took 10 sub-reports...

Duane, It was a typo, should have been report. Page it portrait 8.5X 11 with 1 column. Norm

Duane, I am not sure what you mean. If I open the form and them properties and look at width it is 6 inches wide. In the print preview view the printer set margins are .5". That should leave .1". Example. page 8.5 x 11. Margins .5. Print area 6.9. My math says that .5 + 6 + .5 = 7...

A "Page too Wide" message pops up when printing certain reports for what appears to be no valid reason. 1. Page is 8.5 x 11 with .5 inch margins. 2. Report is 7 inches wide. That leaves at least a half inch in the target area but the message still pops up and some times it will...

Thank you. It works fine now. Norm

I did not look at the Save As file filter. Again many thanks for your help. It now opens as it should. Norm

Power Point Sound Problem. 1. I have a slide show with narations on most slides. 2. Slide #2 has links to other slides in the presentation. 3. Mouse clicking on one of the links takes you to that slide. The "show" continues from this point with sound. 4. To return to the navagation...

I could not seem to save it as a pps file. I did make a copy and rename it to a pps file and that seems to work. Thank you so much. Norm

I wish to distribute a ppt file as a tutorial. If the target computer uses the Power Point reader the ppt file opens and runs properly. But if the target machine has Power Point installed then the file opens in the Sort mode and the user has to click on the button to View the Show. Is there a...

Deleco, I do the same thing. The only way I know to accomplish what you want is the first suggestion made by Ed above. There may be a problem in obtaining the distribution package however. Microsoft used to supply it as a seperate program. If you had Office or even just Access you could...

Tom, The "answer" was apparently that Access had a bad installation and reinstalling it made it work. I thank you for all of your help. I feel somewhat a fool for not thinking of a Bill Gastes SNAFU as the first thing to check. Norm

Randy, Thank you. I am sending you an email. Norm

Tom, Wnen I attempt to open the Northwind data base a message says it can not be opened without first installing the SQL server software from the installation disk. This is not something all, if any, of my users will have or be able to do. So any solution requiring SQL will not work. There...

Tom, The idea was to allow a photo of the individual to be placed in the record of each individual in the file. I am told it can be done. Just do not seem to get it to work. I tried the cut and paste. That places a square image of the bit map file with the file name below as if it were an...

I have developed a distributable Access mde file. One of the fields is an OLE Object. I need a way for the end user to have the ability to place a photo into this field. Each record would have a different photo. I have tried using the “cut and paste” and all it displays is an icon in the field...

Tom, I am feeling like a real fool. I did as you suggested and reinstalled Office using the repair function. Now it seems to be working. When I select the No. 10 envelope from the File - Print Setup - Page it keeps the selection. Thank you and the others for your help. Norm

Hi Tom, Yes it is frustrating, but not as much as dealing with Microsoft Tech (non)Supp[ort ;-) I have tried other formats, both other envelopes and page sizes. I have tried in portrail and landscape. I have tried with the default and specific printers. No matter what combinations of settings...

I may have forgotten to mention that this is a mde file that is distributed and I have no way to know which way their printer handles envelopes. So I believe that I would need an envelope format that is recognized as such by what ever printer they may be using. Norm

I have done that more than one time and in a different mdb file. The results are always the same. Norm

Davis and Kein, I tried moving the controls to no avail. I unchecked the Perform name AutoCorrect box. Same result. As soon as I click OK and close the Print Setup windows and reopen it the setting has changed back to 8.5 x 11. Does not matter if in protrait or landscape, does not matter the...
