Hey all, have a weird issue here. It may be a bug, but thought I'd ask in here in case anyone has come across it (or wants to try to duplicate it).
I have a very complicated form in which I'm inserting tooltip text, and status bar text information on all the objects in Design View, to help guide the end users. The layout is one tab control with a few pages populated with a bunch of combo boxes, list boxes, text boxes, and a few subforms which are turned visible/invisible with command buttons. The form and all it's subforms are tied straight to tables, no queries involved.
Now.. the tooltip text works as intended. But, I'm having issues with the status bar text not showing it's full length sometimes. Some of the objects will display the full line of text (up to ~250 characters on some), while some objects will cut short at less than 20 characters. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to it. I've gone into the tables and removed the Description texts, refreshed the table links, confirmed the field sizes are all at 255 characters... also, this behavior is displayed on unbound controls as well, so I'm pretty sure it's not a table issue, but a form issue.
I've also tried right-clicking the Status bar, and playing with the options there without any success.
Any ideas, anybody?

Ok... now this problem gets even stranger.
I right-clicked the Status bar, and found if I -only- have 'Num Lock' and 'View Shortcuts' selected, it will display the full status text on all fields. ??????
So now it works as intended, for some reason. But this isnt really acceptable, since those selections are not saved along with the database, it's purely on the client's side.
Also, when you run this in Runtime, you do not have the 'View Shortcuts' option (this option shows the little icons that allow you to switch between Form, Design, Datasheet view, etc). So any Runtime users who want the full text wouldnt even be able to change their Status options to get it.
I'm gonna chalk this up as a bug and move on I suppose.

Sounds like another 'issue' with A2007 :(
Yes I have noticed this and still looking for an answer, sometimes the whole status bar shows on one field and when I click on another field that shrinks it, the previous one is shrunk as well.

I wish we could be more help on this one. the best thing I can think of to suggest is to check out Converting to Access 2007 by Allen Browne (Access MVP). There's lots to learn there even if you don't find anything specifically about this one. A site to bookmark I'd say ;)

If you are looking for opinon on what's useful in Access 2007, there's a new
article at:
http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html
Covers what's good (useful features), what's mixed (good and bad), what's
gone (features removed), what's fixed (old issues solved), what's broken
(new bugs), configuration, compatibility, should you buy, and links.
It is opinion, so you may disagree, but hopefully it's an informative
summary.

I've been having a click around Access 2007 this afternoon and have

Access 2003 menu bars, which I, like many others, use extensively, are
now hidden behind an "Add Ins" tab on the Ribbon. Hardly an intuitive
place for a user to find them. Unless my memory is failing me, I'm
sure that Access 2003 menus displayed normally in the 2007 Beta.

Hi All
In the plan text version of a Memo field you can easily add a date by
pressing Ctrl+Colon which makes life easy for the end user.
However, if the Memo field is set to the Rich Text Property this no
longer works. Or am I missing something?

Hi folks,
I'm relatively new to Access, but I seem to have drawn the short straw, so I have the assignment for my workplace of looking for problems/inconsistencies in migrating applications to Access 2007 from previous versions. We don't have a lot of Access applications, but even a dozen or so can be an interesting challenge. I have loaded a few that were created in Access 2003 into Access 2007 and all of the ones I have tried have come up...

Just found out that the Microsoft Rich Textbox does not support full text

ALSO does not support full text justification! This seems incredible, that

I posted a few days ago that it seems to me that the Access 2007 rich text
feature does not support: a) full text justification; b) programmatic

I was hoping that someone might know one way or the other whether that was
true or not, or could point me to an article or help text that would. What I
have seen so far online and in Access 2007 help seems to confirm the above.
But that (or at least (b)) seems incredible that it...

In Access 2007, I have successfully imported a text file with fixed width
fields. However the import did not correctly interpret a date. In the text
file the date field had no delimiter, was just MMDDYYYY. This column
appears empty in my table.
It doesn't seem like this is a hard thing to do. Any suggestions?

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.
Here is my compilation command:
