Ignore my stupid reply! Have found the file and am downloading it

Sorry if I am being stupid! I could not find the Kyhi boot disk on the software and Apps section can you point me to it in more detail?

The backup drive is WD software, My Passport is the software app on the machine. No encryption problem as far as I know. I will look into the clean install procedure (which may take me a bit of...

There is separate hard disk which does continuous back up but in the current state I cannot access it from the desktop. Unfortunately it was originally a system 8.1 for which we have a repair disk,...

Thank you for that. Apologies for delays in reply. I have to go down to the church office to try anything and then come home to reply to you. Nothing seems to apply in that all that I have access to...

Windows 10 machine in church office (intel chip) had persistent problems with latest update failing. Then automatically restored previous version of windows. Today the restore is failing putting up...

OK, I see, thanks. I agree with you about the multi-entry combo box. But the charity specified that they wanted the facility in several fields to multiple entry. As I am not involved in its running...

Thanks nbcaldon for the pointer to use the Text rather than Value. This has fixed things. But as I can only access PersonTypeID.Text when that field has control I had to put the code for checking the...

Thanks for this. I have a big meeting tomorrow about the database but I will look at this ASAP

For a combo box set to allow multiple entries it generates a type mismatch. For a combo box set to allow only 1 entry it works fine. Text length is 6 for setting Member. This is the general...

No that's not it !

Tried both of nbcaldon's suggestions. Both still give the same type mismatch. Thanks for the ideas.

I should mention that using a query returns the value of PersonTypeID.Value (but only shows the first entry in the case where multiple entries have been selected). So the query recognises...

Thanks for that. Still the same problem. This time Debug flags the line x = PersonTypeID.Value as the type mismatch

It will be difficult to post as you suggest, partly but not completely as it would reveal real data. Instead I am posting the relevant code error. It is described as "runtime error 13, type mismatch"...

I am developing an Access database for a local charity which teaches people to use the internet. One field is a tick box flagging that the user is a Member. There are other categories of user (User,...

I was not able to post the Winver as my wife was hogging the Windows 10 machine. It now shows system as Version 1709, build 16299.64. I had also longtime ago tried the scannow and many other checks...

I have tried every check that I can find on the internet and found nothing wrong with my system. The internet is full of reports of Windows 10 updates failing to complete download or failing to...

Yet another weird kb4048955 update problem but different from the usual "cannot install" problem. On checking my update history it was shown as having failed with code 0x8007139f. I used my usual...

After leaving the machine on overnight to let update run automatically it finally completed taking nearly 6 hours. Obviously I need more patience

I found this update this morning. It has been "installing" now for 3 hours and sees to be in a loop where it shows Dowloading Updates, Preparing to install updates, then goes back to Downloading...

Things now fixed. There were some other things to sort out but I managed them myself. I appreciate your help

rbertoald

yes you are right. I was following the instructions on a website and must have written the sequence down wrongly. I will go down to the machine and try again!

Many thanks

Problem arose after a windows 10 update. Opening the church database brings up message "OLE error code 0x80040154 Class not registered. Class containing OLE object is being ignored" for active X...
