Access 2003 is... acting wierd.
I use somewhere between 20 and 30 different access databases every week, 97,
2000, and 2003 formats included.
I recently began using 2003 almost exclusively, in part to re-write several
of those databases to smooth them out and make them faster and more user
friendly. Ever since I have started this however, the application settings
and options keep changing. I keep losing my system pre-set toolbars, having
buttons move in my toolbars, losing the close X button in the upper right
hand corner for 1 set of stuff (only lost it for queries right now, as an
example), having the 'show windows in taskbar' option check and uncheck
itself...
I believe it may be due to pre-selected options in different databases
carrying over between databases. I know how to 'fix' each issue as it shows
up, (get my toolbars to show back up, etc...) but i am tired of resetting
everything back to defaults one by one every time i open a database.
It never did this in 2000, I have to believe that it is part of Microsoft's
"Let me help you do it, I think I know what you want" coding, like Word's
auto-formatting.
Is there any way to lock the settings/options in place so they don't keep
changing like this?
Getting annoyed,
