I think that this is the best solution. If it does not work we will need to try something else. What has happened to the other advisors. This is not necessarily solved as yet.

I suggested that you uniform the size of the data fields. At least the ones that are related to each other. Have you tested this both before and after the change. Once you have done this then please send a copy

If you are linking two fields of similar data type such as TEXT then the size of the field should be equal. Use 255 with 255, 50 with 50 etc but never 50 with 5. This is where I think you are wrong. Can you send the latest version of what you have. Only this time make sure the...

Hiding things can confuse you so why do it. What should be Hidden is the system files. SYS. If you hide them in this database then they will be hidden in all databases on your machine. Same goes with databases you get from other sources. Test it out on the Northwind database. Change one and...

I THINK THAT I SHALL GIVE IN. I have a Gigabyte Mother Board. In fact it is a Gigabyte Lap Top. It comes with a CD that has an install program to load the drivers. Things like Display, Network plus quite a few more. Also the Display will only show one screen and usually the wrong one...

Suzy I would suggest that you do some more testing. From what I see it does not work. I always show hidden files etc. Just because they are hidden does not mean they are not used. The attached is some very important reading for you. Please read carefully...

Suzy It is not anything to do with what I was thinking. Posting a copy (Stripped down) as suggested would be a good idea.

What version of Access are you using. Have you installed any Service Packs?

Remember when Windows 7 came out? There were some things that did not work. Like printer Drivers and some older software. The solution was to run these by changing something in the properties. Does anyone remember how to do this exactly. I have forgotten. I am having some issues with the...

Exactly what does not work. Is the problem with Windows 10 or the version of Access that you are forced to use. If it is Access you should be able to run two different versions at the same time. I run 2003 and 2007 on both my Lap top and my PC. However there is another issue which I...

This is a far better solution.

I notice that Namliam forgot to turn warnings back on. An all too often mistake.

Get rid of this "DoCmd.SetWarnings False" This stops reporting on errors which is what you want right now. This should then report to you the cause of the problem.
