Hi everyone,
I don't know a great deal about Access and have made some assumptions so may have this all wrong. This is an issue I have at work.
I have made some form changes with a runtime version of access (tweaks on form and report) but something has gone wrong and I want to return to a backup.
When I restore the backup it doesn't run the first form and looking under options-Database it just says none with no option to change it to the first form I want. The backup was made by just copying the DB from a networked hard drive. How can I set the first form please?
I have tried using my bosses version of Access as I thought the fact that it was runtime was the issue but that still wouldn't allow anything to be changed and also shows tables only, no forms can be opened which I thought they could be in a developers version. How would I be able to tell if it's a runtime version or full developers version please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm struggling with this. It was all going well then I deleted a linking field (between 2 tables (1 to many) from a form and everything fell down with error messages asking for entry of text fields. Very difficult to identify fields except by looking at tab order and they weren't the ones I changed. So returning to a backup would be preferable.
