Re: Database Size, Table Back End, Compact and Repair

Your db is very small so I don't think file size is the issue

Re: Continuous subform partly scrolls to the right on load / requery (AC2013)

does your subform have any code to set the focus to a particular control? or code to 'go to last record' or similar.

Re: SYNTAX ERROR when INNER JOIN
