Many years ago, when the office environment was transitioning from paper to digital, I used to allow users to scan directly from within Access - copy the file to a storage location and then store the path to the file Access. As time passed, I found that the overwhelming majority of items looking...

Back in my first semester of grad school, one of my professors gave me a copy of Access and asked me to load it on my computer and see if I could take some data he had in spreadsheets, import the data into Access, manipulate and report on the data. It's very hard for me to grasp the reality of...

The FE I'm working on is newly created as part of a migration of this application to a SQL backend and I have been the only user in it so far, so sort of ruled out corruption. I am reviewing any use of the Form.Recordset.Recordcount in the rest of the application as well as a precaution. Lesson...

Yes, I had tried that earlier - it had no effect.

Arnelgp / Doc - thank you both for your taking time to reply. As I was getting ready to reply to arnelgp, I started gutting a copy of my app to simplify it enough to post a somewhat redacted copy here. After simplifying the code behind that form in question - there it was - looking at me...

Thank you Doc! While your understanding of the exact processes that take place is deeper than mine, I think I follow your explanation. But I'm still struggling to find out (on a more tangible level ie: what did I do in my FE design to cause it) why after developing apps in Access since 1995 (it...

I have a unbound form that functions as the Main Menu for my application. It has one tab control with a few tabs (mostly list boxes displaying data) - nothing fancy going on - very simple. I added a new tab to the tab control and placed a subform on it. The subform has a query as its record...

I have been using RDP since first experimenting with it in the early 1990's. Back then (if I remember correctly) it was introduced by Microsoft primarily as a way for server admins to remote manage Windows Servers (which were also new at the time). Originally named Terminal Services, the...

I started with remote control software back in the early 1990's with pcAnywhere for DOS and dialup modems. Remote control technology has come a long way since then and it has been my experience that nothing surpasses the performance of RDP. TeamViewer comes close, but it has always been so...

I want to thank everyone who took time to contribute their thoughts to my post over the weekend. In the the interest of trying to solve the issue and move forward - I simply decided to abandon use of smtp.office365.com, set up a connector in Office365 to accept email from the IP of my site and...

Thank you for taking time to reply. I have been moving in the direction of thinking of the newer vs older workstation issue as being a bit of a red herring simply because (using isladogs CDO Email Tester) the newer HPZ2 workstations that can't send CDO emails via smtp.office365.com can...

Thank you for your reply! You had me doubting my middle-age eyes as I thought maybe I typed the Error # incorrectly - but that was not the case. I can't see how the issue on the HPZ2's could be a simple setting/config issue - because I stashed the CDOEmailTester v2201.accdb up on a network...

Good day to everyone. I've always considered myself an above average troubleshooter - but I have an issue that is proving impossible to figure out despite having invested more hours than I care to admit (publicly anyway). Any suggestions on which direction(s) to head in would be most...
