    Solved Open another Database and find customer

    Link to specific object in QuickAccess toolbar

    DITTO. (y) I use this method and would recommend it since it works in all versions of Access. Fast to set up and copy between databases. I find the QAT is best used for things that are not specific to a database., but only Access functionality that applies to any open database. FWIW: I do...

    Add Penalties and Arrears to annual Fee

    When the new renewal is due normally has no impact on the penalty calculation. Whenever the renewal is paid, it is still for a full year up to the next due date. The renewal due date should not change. Thre is only penalties add for renewing late.
