    the Result of Moving my Monitors - screen has less contrast

    My first thought would be to consider differences in ambient lighting between the two locations. I know I get different effects from closing or opening the blinds on the window behind my desk. Probably not as great as you describe, but definitely noticable.

    Convert acrobat 9.0 PDF to Image .PNG Using VBA Code

    Perhaps, if you want to use Adobe Acrobat to convert PDFs to PNGs, a good starting place would be the Adobe site. https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/hub/how-to-convert-pdf-to-png.html

    Convert acrobat 9.0 PDF to Image .PNG Using VBA Code

    What exactly have you tried so far? Do you have a copy of Adobe Acrobat 9.0 already? Have you investigated whether it even has that capability? VBA is a Microsoft Office product. Does Acrobat 9.0 even use VBA?

    Future of Access

    I don't have direct contact with the MS Access team any longer. With all of the other priorities already on their plate, I don't think I'd try to insert this particular initiative into their plans anyway. I'm also skeptical that adding such a guide would make all that much difference anyway...

    Future of Access

    As I said, there have been many such attempts to provide guidelines for designing and building normalized relational databases, some brilliant, some less so. I bet a search right here at AWF would turn up more than one. The problem, as I see it, isn't a lack of written guides. The problem is...

    Future of Access

    A guide? Not a document as such. That's actually beyond the scope of the charter for Microsoft templates in general. We went to some trouble to provide a consistent Relationship Diagram for the Developer version because otherwise it's generated in the muddled state typical of newly created...

    Back End Read-Only Issue

    Well, the crash is locking the database, so it makes sense that all are impacted the same. I qualified my comment about the problem by saying "if" it is caused by shutdown of a laptop. So that's not a definitive consideration. Rather, if a process is being interrupted during a write operation...

    Back End Read-Only Issue

    Ah, if the problem is that undisciplined users shut down their laptop without first closing any open applications on it, the only solution I can think of is a bigger stick, figuratively, of course. A mandatory training session could help. Passive aggressive behavior, unfortunately, is hard to...

    Back End Read-Only Issue

    Reading previous responses along with this observation, I'd like to call your attention to what appears to be the primary cause of the problem. "Crashing" the database application. That will invariably leave a dangling lock file and can cause other problems for your users. Your strategy needs...

    Everyone should use AI

    Getting V1 produced by an AI LLM is fast. Bug-fixing V1, V2, V3, V4, and V5? No so fast.

    Opening some reports in Access 2010 ADP crashes after KB5064081

    Given the fact that Access 2010 is long out of support, and that ADPs have been deprecated for a few years, and that the faulting dll is related to JET 4.0, which has been supplanted by ACE, I doubt there's a high likelihood of a fix.
