Try to see if you can you make the changes by hand using a select query. This may be an edit rights issue.

Be careful with this. You don't want to St. Louis Avenue to Street Louis Avenue. Or change "Stanley Road" to "Streetanley Road". You should be using spaces in front and behind so " ST " become " STREET "

Their answer is not wrong. In Queens, NY it is common to have addresses with a hyphen before the street (like 12-26). How do you sort non-numbers numerically.

Trying repairing your installation of Access.

If you have 90 fields most of which are unique to single record, then they should not be fields at all. You should have a "Comments" field with a "Long Text" type where you can enter free-form information.

I came across the following curious situation at work. I need to compute the average lot size of parts being produced. The obvious thing would be to divided the total number produced by the number of orders. However, my interest involves setup costs, so it is more logical to ask for the each...

Are you sure defined this correctly? I would expect that quote numbers be assigned sequentially (AutoNumber) and then displayed in a sorted recordset. Why is there a need to renumber anything?

Yes, it is. I have the same problem with much larger databases, so I was surprised when this small database crashed frequently.

I imported into a new database. I will see what happens. Does it mean anything to decompile a database that has no code?

I have been having problems with Access crashing when a table is selected. Access generates a backup file during this crash. This has been affecting multiple databases over the past few months but this particular small database crashes half the time. Does anyone have any idea about why it is...

I don't see that option. I did uncheck "Name Autocorrect".

This happens when there are no other users in the access database. As this happens with access native tables as well as sql tables, I assume that problem is on the access side.

Over the past few weeks, my main work database has developed a problem where it locks up when opening table interactively. The problem occurs with both Access native tables and SQL server linked tables. It does not happen when things are running without user interaction. Repairing the database...
