    Question on Access 2000 character set (UTF-16 or UCS-2?)

    I need to determine if Access 2000 (Jet/ADO 4.0) supports the full UTF-16 Unicode encoding standard or if it only supports UCS-2. Anyone know this? (Apparently various resources out there have inconsistent info - indicating it is UTF-16, while still asserting it uses 2 bytes per character -...

    Odd problem running a query from VBA

    In Access 365, I often dynamically construct queries in VBA, (e.g., in a variable like "strSQL"), and then run them with DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL.

    #Name? Showing on one form, but not the other -

    I have two forms, both of which I've updated the data source to a new query - and both are presenting the exact same new field from that exact same query... One form works fine, the other shows "#Name?". I've double-checked the field name is correct. The two forms are both of the same type -...

    Hi!

    I'm Papa_Bear1 and I'm just introducing myself to AccessWorld. I've been programming in Access since I can remember (... the early 90s... ;-) I think it is a fantastic realm to live in. I've been singing the praises of MS Access for many years. I do admit that having used it for so long, I...
