I explained the reason why some of your replies get blocked in a reply to your Profile post on Jan 9 but you didn't respond to that either. For reference this is your post & my reply:

Unfortunately it never gets as far as starting the Web server. When I click the button, nothing appears to happen. When I click it again, Access just stops responding. However I've since found that if I step through the StartServer code, it DOES work. So I think you need to add some delays to...

Same here. Access stops responding

Yes it would do that as the main form only shows one record at a time so that would also be true for the subform. Study my example app. No link between master and child fields. Code is used to keep the main form & subform synchronised.

I may be wrong but I don't think you can change the font for a standard split form whilst its open. The easiest solution would be to create a simulated split form using a single form and a datasheet subform When you click anywhere on the datasheet subform, the Form Datasheet ribbon is shown...

@mellamokb The HKCU registry path is now working in the latest Beta release 2604 19916.20000 released 2026-03-19 and may by now also be in Current Channel (Preview). More importantly, it will also be in Current Channel version 2603 when that is released around the end of this month. The...

Agreed but what (if any) advantages do you see in using XML over the alternatives for tables?

Perhaps you could explain both parts of that response. In which versions doesn't it work? I've no idea what your second sentence means. On a quick check, I know for a fact that it has worked since at least A2000 and probably earlier than that

I also have a table of UK postcode districts that was supplied with 2 fields with multiple values separated by commas. The data came from the UK Government Office for National Statistics (ONS) If you look at the nearby districts field, not all have the same postcode area as they are adjacent to...

I'm not sure I understand what your example app is showing. However, it has always been true that fields in the form record source don't need to be form controls to be available for use That isn't the case on reports where you do need to include all fields as controls if you need to make use of...

The strange thing is that when I had the same issues in early Feb, almost nobody else reported being able to replicate them. I decided to publish my article (see link in post #2) anyway in case the issues affected others later on. This week is the first time I've seen any other reports. Since...

The MsgBoxT function has been designed mainly to create new style Fluent UI Access message boxes in Access 365 with a timeout feature. However, it is a multi-purpose function and can create each of the following message box types with or without a timeout: • new style Access message box with...

Sounds like you are using tabbed documents display with layout guides and anchoring. This adjusts the form to fill the screen. Turn off layout guides. Use overlapping widows display Alternatively, change the form to a popup.

Eventually - at least that was my hope when the A-team asked me to advise on the feature set. However, the zooming feature is not yet complete and won't be for several months. Also, the feature will only be in 365 so automatic form resizing code will still be important for all those with older...

The long awaited zooming feature has recently been enabled in the Access 365 Beta Channel. I have written a short article giving my initial impressions of the feature and outlining what is available now and what is still to come. https://isladogs.co.uk/zoom-feature-enabled/ As with all features...

My article contains both the code and an example database

I've also got the code to do this in my final article of three about the shift bypass property. The article also explains how to limit the impact of someone doing this without authorisation. https://isladogs.co.uk/open-shift-bypass-3/index.html

You didn't supply the Office version, build and update channel. Are you absolutely sure it was caused by a Windows update and not an Office update? I ask as that not only seems more likely but I've heard of another similar report in Office 365 version 2603.
