report view hangs

[hanny]

hello,

I'm hanny.I have a problem in Ms-Access report view .I would request anyone couls solve my problem.

my problem is as follows:
I have an Intel based Pentium -166 MMX machine with 32Mb of Ram and Cirrus Logic based PCI Display Card with VRAM of 2 Mb. I have Win95 installed as operating system and recently i loaded Microsoft Access 97 on my machine. My problem is that whenever I try to open a form or report in design mode the application hangs. Then I have to press Ctrl + Alt + Del and press cancel to continue.

I have formatted my hard disk twice and have also tried to load microsoft office through different installer CD's but the problem still exists. Please help me to rectify this problem. Other Microsoft products that are installed on my system are: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0

thanx in advance,
hanny.

Open the database in exclusive mode. This should help eliminate the problem.

I would suggest increasing your ram to minimum 64mb. Depending on the size of your database and the number of background programs you have running, you could keep hanging which could ultimately corrupt your database.
