Cannot write Greek letter Omega in one form

[JohnPapa]

I cannot write the Greek letter Omega in one form. It is OK in other forms of the same program.

I tried ALT 234, before and it appear to work. It does not now.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

use CharMap app of windows, select Symbol font, copy and paste the Omega symbol.

Thanks. Would rather type it in, as it is possible in other forms.

I never had this problem during the past 20 years.

 

[arnelgp]

well, it's not also working in my win 11, access 2021?

You have the same problem in A21 W11?

I use A13 Runtime W10 and it does not work in one of the forms. It works in the others.

Maybe I should ask the person at MS responsible for Update KB5002121, which disabled entering the software ...

It works as required in MS 365 on Win 10.

When a particular functions "works" in some places and not in others, trouble-shooting becomes much more complicated. It's not random, but it's not clear what the pattern is. Hence, the method that works best is to delve directly into the object exhibiting the problem. We can't do that for you, unfortunately.

Start by comparing property settings on this, the non-conforming, form and other forms that do work as required. Look at things like Plain Text/Rich Text, for example, and fonts selected for the control. Does a pattern emerge there?

If you add a new control to this form, does the new control accept the character you want?

Can you insert the desired character directly into the field in the table to which this form is bound?

If that trouble-shooting doesn't turn up a solution, try rebuild the form, starting from scratch. Perhaps a new form copying all but the non-complying control and adding a new control to replace it.

It's possible that someone else could spot a problem in your non-compliant form if you share a copy here for review, but you are more likely to uncover the problem with a series of objective trouble-shooting steps designed to eliminate possible factors, one by one.

Many thanks. Will adopt your suggestions. I was wondering whether someone had a similar problem..

it is not working, alright, but that is not a problem for me since i don't use that character.
