There we go - it's the "Record Selectors" option which explains why it isn't doing anything - I have no records!!!

Thanks Ypma, Makes sense but doesn't do anything for me - changes to black to show the mouse over it but clicking does nothing. Really weird thing is its disappeared now but i'm changing loads of settings. If i figure out how i got rid of it, i'll post the answer here for anyone else. Cheers!

Hi All, Does anyone know what this bar is and what its purpose is? Clicking it doesn't do anything, i just know its in the detail section of the form. Many Thanks

Hello Again! I've been trying to get my head around relationships (In Access!!!) and my brain.... my brain..... she fails me :( I'm 95% there - i get the dynamics, the what, the why and even the how. I'm trying to visualize the different types and this was the best diagram i could come up...

I'm trying to post a link to a youtube video which has two players pretending to be the characters and are very funny but the system won't let me. If you'd like a preview with a difference, just search for Neebs Stranded Deep!

I realise this thread is over 4 years old but just wanted to put a mention out there for Stranded Deep - it's a survival game where you are stranded in the pacific surrounded by many islands. They have very recently introducted cooperative play and have been playing with my partner who isn't a...
