Experienced that too but it's working now. Just received an email from IT. Apparently there were some reported issues with a windows update in August (about the same time we started having problems) and MS Access using VBA. IT is going to install this new update. Fingers crossed. Strange thing...

Yep. That's what we are doing. We have never shared a FE.

It's a split database. Can you expand on the FE isn't being correctly distributed? We've been using split databases for 10+ years and this just started happening. I'm currently waiting for IT to find out if there have been any Microsoft Updates deployed lately. About 6 months ago, I did migrate...

HELP!! Microsoft Access isn't launching all of the time. It's hit or miss and not reproducible. This started happening within the last 2 weeks. Task Manager shows it open. There is a lock file created. It's just not visible on the computer. It's happening with many different databases. I've seen...

Perfect!!!...didn't know that was an option.

I'm trying set the query criteria from a textbox on a form. It's a Status field in the query. 1 = Open, 2 = Closed. If I set the criteria to "1" it shows all open, "2" and it shows all closed and "1" or "2" it shows all. The problem I'm having is setting these in the form. I've set the query to...

perfect...thanks!
