I see that Windows Media Player is a control. I want to have one 'Playsound' VBA function. How do I put Windows Media Player into VBA? Robert

I have code that requires the Microsoft Word 14.0 Object Library. How do I add that? My application is on a remote server and the techs are unsure how to add the library for myself and all of our users. Any suggestions appreciated. Robert

I am using Access 2019. It seemed to be working OK, but now I have two odd things happening in queries: 1. Where I have two tables in the query and there is a link between the two tables, I used to be able to pop up a little command window which said Use all records from table A and joined...

OK, Switchboard manager! Thank you
