Granted - I did not "encrypt" the BE - I password protected it. Yep - disabled the shift key. I'll undo that and retry. I'm actually doing my testing on a copy version of the database (including the split) - so I have messed up a half dozen versions of the database and deleted/re-created...

:banghead: I must be doing something wrong...but I've followed several different tutorials and still can't get this to work. My steps (in Access 2016): 1. Split database into BE/FE. BE is now on a network shared drive . FE is local drive. 2. Opened each one (individually) just to make sure...

Thanks for the info Paul. I appreciate your help.

Thanks Paul. How does the Compact and Repair work for split databases? Is it only performing action against the FE or BE or both?

I am creating a database and have about a dozen tables, have a dozen forms, and another half dozen queries. I realized that I will need to split this database into FE/BE, but at what point in the process should I do it? Now or after I have finished creating all of the...

Thanks Linq. I agree that the bug should have been fixed LONG ago. At least there are a couple of workarounds.

That works - with the caveat that the Format() function is not used and the textboxes are set to "Currency" format. Such an easy solution.... just what I was looking for. Thank you. Just for future reference for anyone stumbling on this: Textbox1: =[InHouse_Hours] * [Labor_InHouse_Wage]...

I have a solution for what I am seeing, but I'm looking for a better solution. I have two subtotals [note: not the actual field names]: =Format((InHouse_Hours * Labor_InHouse_Wage), "$#,###.00") =Format((InField_Hours * Labor_InField_Wage), "$#,###.00") I want to add those together and I can...

Glad to see this post - even though it means I can't do what I'm trying to do. At least I'm not wasting any more time. Thanks, Paul, for your suggestion. It points me to look at my subtotals and grand totals in a different way.

Linq - thanks for posting the link. Interesting slant at the same problem. The author suggest turning off ClearType which changes the pc. That seems to work for those users and I have no doubt it would work for me as well. But I found that just changing the Back Style on the label property...

Greetings - I have previous experience with Access 2000 - but I haven't touched it in over 10 years - so I'm back to learning again. It's nice to get back to it, just wish I could get to some of the old Access files again for reference. As for my username: I used to be the constable in a...

I realize this is an OLD thread - but seems it still applies. This happened to me today using Access 2016. I have several labels that start to get blurry as I click through the records. Changed Back Style to "Normal" and all is well.
