I have a form with a textbox I formatted with an Arial Black font:

After closing the form and reopening it, It looks like this:

Font_Wrong.png



I looked at the properties and It still says Arial Black... If I reapply the font and restart the file, the same thing happens.

Maybe a bug in the Access Program?
 
is that two textboxes or one? If the latter are you using rich text?
 
Its 2 screenshots of the same report. The latter is after closing and opening of the file.
 
Its plain text. 2 different text boxes.
 
presume you saved the report before or on closing?
 
The border looks different. Are you sure the resolution hasn't been changed? Is the app toggling the bold property?
 
The border is from the print preview screenshot. I saved the report before closing (I can confirm this because on the Text Box property it still says Arial Black after reopening). No code to toggle the Bold property. It is just sudden. Now I noticed some of my controls in my dashboard all turned to Arial Regular for no reason at all.
 
could be your form has become corrupted. Try compact/repair. If that doesn't work, recreate the form from scratch

That would be my last resort. I dont think its corrupted since everything else displays correctly including the data from the queries. Only the font style has this weird behavior.
 
up to you, for the time it would take it would at least eliminate a possibility.
 
I did create a new and fresh blank report. Created an unbound textbox. Set font to "Cooper Black". Same problem.

After close and reopen access:

Property says its really Cooper Black:

suggest upload a copy of your db - remove forms/reports not relevant plus non relevant data. then compact/repair and zip
 
I can only see a single table in the database you atttached
 
but there's no report in the database? Or am I missing something?
 
You zipped it with a non-standard compression program so I can't unzip it.
 
If you are sure there is no code to change this, perform an online repair of your Office program from the Control Panel.
