Hi, Rob.
> Where can I get a definitive answer, if no-one in the newsgroup(s) can help?
<Cough!> No one?!! Many of the people who answer questions in the
newsgroups can troubleshoot others' database problems most of the time with
just a few clues and after asking a few of the right questions -- without
ever laying eyes on the database itself. If you think about it, that takes
incredible talent. Many of these folks work with Access for a living, and
what assistance they offer to people in need in these newsgroups without
charge is only a fraction of the spectacular services they offer to their
paying clients.
If I needed a definitive answer but didn't already know how to troubleshoot
tricky problems in Access, I'd put my go-fasters on my feet and zoom over to
the reports newsgroup, do some research to find the consultants who can
obviously "walk the walk" and hire one of them for a fraction of what
Microsoft charges for tech support. These experts can give a lot more
valuable advice about your database by actually looking at it than they can
from reading short descriptions of what the problem is.
And remember that the data source for a report and a form can be the same,
but the resulting data set for the report can be a little different to
accommodate the formatting. Check to ensure that no formatted record exceeds
2,000 characters in the report (excluding Memo and OLE fields), because this
too will result in the "too many fields defined" error message in the report,
even with far fewer than 255 fields.
HTH.
