I recently made the switch from Access 2003 to Access 2007. The rest of our office is still operating on 2003, so the database is still a 2003 file. We're having trouble with a few forms that work fine when I open them on the 2003 computers, but not on mine (2007 version).
For example. I have a form that is a simple form linked to a solicitation table. It has a combo box that allows the user to select the solicitation they want to look at. After that selection is made, the other fields on the form are populated, and a linked subform that was empty on opening is now refreshed and populated with the names of all the people who got the solicitation. This works great in 2003. In the 2007 version, I can't open the form without getting prompts for the query fields in the subform that are supposed to retrieve data from the table fields on the main form. Any thoughts?
The other trouble is with a form that allows the user to enter two dates, to retrieve all payments that were made between a certain time period. The user enters the dates, and then clicks a control to run a make-table query that provides names and mailing information to generate thank you letters. Works great in 2003. In the 2007 version, I get an error message that says "the database engine could not find the object '1'" I don't even have an object named '1'. Any suggestions?
Are there a lot of bugs like this that others are encountering?

If you haven't done so, you need to upgrade to SP1, which will eliminate a lot of the bugs. Nonetheless, there are still some bugs that have to be dealt with.

Hi,
I have a site that uses forms authentication to secure the directory. The
site behaves as expected when viewed externally... if I close the browser
and attempt to access it again, I get prompted to login. However, locally
here on the network, if I close the browser and open a new one and access
the site again, I don't have to login. Can anyone shed some light as to
what's going on?

Access 2007 optionally opens forms as tabs. There is an Access Option

But how, from VBA, can I programmatically tell whether or not a form

I tried using

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
