Solved Access not displaying properly

[AccessShell]

sc /scannow === run as admin. Get a form "Do you want this app to make changes" (paraphrase).

I get a flash. See a dos window for less than a second. Then it goes away.

 

[Gasman]

Sorry typo.
Sfc /scanow

Yes open an admin command window.

 

[AccessShell]

same thing. A dos window flashed for about .5 secs and went away

 

[Gasman]

No.
You open a dos command window with admin rights.
Then you type in the command and it's parameter.
Then let it run.
It will come back and tell you if it fixed anything or could not.

 

[AccessShell]

I guess the scannow needs more to run

 

[Gasman]

No, i just cannot type on this phone.

Try again. It even shows you that option in the display.

Third attempt

Sfc /scannow

 

[AccessShell]

I have a 13th century cell phone. Only talking, as a phone should be.
I don't know if VB6 is compatible with O365.
I cannot use VB.net - I don't understand it.

 

[isladogs]

Why on earth do you mention VB.net? Totally irrelevant.

I'll ask for the third time just in case I'm lucky enough to get an answer this time:
When you open an existing database, do you see a horizontal or vertical scrollbar as in my screenshot from post #3?

 

[AccessShell]

Isladogs - No Vertical or horizontal scroll bars

 

[AccessShell]

Scannow complete

 

[AccessShell]

Trying to read the CBS.log file. It is very large and I don't know what I'm looking for.

 

[isladogs]

Isladogs - No Vertical or horizontal scroll bars

Thanks. That was my final idea of a possible solution
Between the 2 forums, this is now approaching 90 posts.
As already suggested more than once, you should now reinstall Office 2003 and hopefully resolve this situation
If not, I would also suggest purchasing a newer version

Good luck. I'll drop out now unless anything new occurs to me

I cannot read them either, but the fact you had corrupt files is not a good sign.
That said, what happens now with your dbs?

 

[AccessShell]

Yes, but whatever it fixed, did not help the current problem. Later tonight when things get settled down and I run my evening programs, I will do a restart (always makes me nervous) and see what happens.

 

[Gasman]

You keep mentioning vb6 on the other site, and I have already said office uses vba. Whilst similar, they are not the same, plus you said it was difficult to install vb6 on your setup.?
Has that been working for years with no issues, has that had an update recently, or at least since this issue started?

 

[AccessShell]

I loaded VB6 on the computer over 1 yr ago. No problems with running it or writing programs. Except, of course, what I didn't know for the programming. I have been writing VB6 since it was released. It is now obsolete. VB.net is the successor. I have been using Access 2003 since 2003 with no problems - through several operating systems.

 

[Gasman]

Have you rebooted since the sfc?
I am out of all ideas except for a reinstall of first office or just access, then windows.

 

[AccessShell]

Q1. During a reinstall of Office Pro 2003 will the .doc, .xls. .mdb files be destroyed?
Q2. How do you back out recent Win10 updates.

VB6 is much easier for me to use for coding. For other programs, I use Excel, or Word for the data repository

 

[AccessShell]

I have not rebooted since running scannow. I plan to reboot later this evening.

This is what the DB window should look like. You are missing 3 lines before the table name

I don't recollect seeing those options in A2003. Maybe they are switchable based on some options switch. I'm sure @isladogs has opened the database correctly. I doubt those 3 actions are critical differences.

Edit @isladogs identified the switch involved immediately after your post.
