alternatives for newsgroup reader and notifications
At work, I've been using a web-based interface, because that's all that seems to be allowed and functional. At home, I've been using Outlook Express, which is fast. However, the notifications sent by Microsoft almost always time out with a "Sorry, the page you requested is not available" error (they've worked only twice, both times at home). 1) any idea of why the notifications don't wo...

Misspelled Form Name
OK, I admit that I did a really dumb thing! I realized after my project was almost done that I had used bad naming conventions, so I went through and renamed my form, table, and all references to the form in my macros. Now, every time I open something I get the "misspelled form name" error message. Is there an easy way to find my mistake? I have looked and looked and don't see i...

I miss .mdb
I've been handed an .adp database; It is secured, so I do not have rights to change the tables, etc. I've created some forms, but when I try to test it, I get blocked.

I seems as if I can't get the system to start up using those AutoNumb...
