Re: [MSAccessProfessionals] forms not opening in Windows Home

In our office we have a few Windows 11 Professional systems and one Windows 11 Home system.

I just did an upgrade to our Access Database and now, for some reason some of the upgraded buttons that open forms will not work.

I also tried to click on the form directly and it still would not open. The form that will not open is a new form.

Any thoughts as to a solution?

Re: [MSAccessProfessionals] Migrate MsAccess Frontend with SQL Server Backend to Azure

I did not set it up but I believe it was the VM option. I could remote to the server using RDP or ScreenConnect and then run SSMS on it directly (normally I just use SSMS from my desktop to work with it). It was definitely not the single database option as we have multiple databases on the instance.

I'll add that they have a very robust Internet connection in the office, so it wasn't a case of a slow connection.

Paul, quick clarification — when you say your employer moved to Azure, were you using Azure SQL Database (PaaS) or SQL Server running in an Azure VM (IaaS)?

I'm trying to understand whether the issues you saw were more related to cloud latency in general, or specific to Azure SQL's PaaS constraints.

Thanks,
Norbert

Windows 10 had quite a run with printing problems for over a year. Check to see if the Win 10 computers are fully updated.

I went to the Win 10 computer and changed the default printer to Microsoft PDF printer and it solved the problem. It was on ''let Windows set the default". And as far as I know, it has been on let windows choose for years, but maybe I am wrong. Anyway, with the default set to MS PDF, the Access app works once again.

The two Win 11 computers on which the app works are both set to let Windows choose default printer.

Re: [MSAccessProfessionals] Report Not Working

Have you tried putting a "fresh" copy of the database on the Windows 10 computer? I'm assuming your database is separated into a front end and back end and the users have an accde front end. I have found sometimes a user's accde file gets corrupted and a fresh copy fixes it up.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I dont think the issue is with my Access file but instead is with the OS or computer settings. I was able to verify this by installing the app on a third computer (Win 11) and the app works as it has for

I was able to verify this by installing the app on a third computer (Win 11) and the app works as it has for the last several years. I went back to my other Win 11 computer (where the app did not work yesterday) and checked printer settings, saved settings and then started the Access app. The Access app created the PDF as expected. I have no idea what changed.

I then went back to Win 10 computer, opened the APP, and once again the Access app locked up when I tried to create the PDF. The app has worked on this Win 10 computer for several years with no issues but now no joy.

I dont know what to look for on the Win 10 computer.
