i don't think anyone can tell you more than we all already have. it's
probably a simple mistake you're making and there is just a miscommunication
between you and "us". if you want to send me a copy of your db, i'll try to
find and fix the problem, then send it back so you can see what i did. if
you want to go this route, do the following:
make a copy of your db.
remove proprietary data from the *copy*.
add a few appropriate "dummy" records for me to work with.
*compact the database*
zip to under 1MB (if necessary, delete forms/reports/tables that don't
interact with the tables/form you're working on, to meet the size
requirement).
refer to the GettingStarted newsgroup in the email subject line.
copy/paste the posted thread so i'll remember what this is about.
email to ttacc_kill_all_spam_ess1 at _my_yahoo dot com, removing
the underscores and everything between them.
