    One of my co-workers is opening a database that several of us have access to. When he opens it, a copy of the database is immediately made in the folder. EG: User double-clicks MyDatabase.accdb -- immediately, a copy is created in the same folder called MyDatabase1.accdb (without the user...

    Record Source: "SELECT" vs Query

    I have a form and just wondering if there is any difference between setting the Record Source to "SELECT TblOven.* FROM TblOven;" versus a query that selects all fields from TblOven? Is it essentially the same thing? If not, which is the preferred method?

    Someone in the US won the $758 million lottery last night. Wasn't me. But I'm curious...what would you do if you won that much money? I think I'd call in sick to work for the next couple of days. And plan a nice extended vacation to tour Europe. :D

    Encrypted BE and now FE won't open

    :banghead: I must be doing something wrong...but I've followed several different tutorials and still can't get this to work. My steps (in Access 2016): 1. Split database into BE/FE. BE is now on a network shared drive . FE is local drive. 2. Opened each one (individually) just to make sure...

    New...again...

    Greetings - I have previous experience with Access 2000 - but I haven't touched it in over 10 years - so I'm back to learning again. It's nice to get back to it, just wish I could get to some of the old Access files again for reference. As for my username: I used to be the constable in a...
