I know that no software program
is perfect, but there are times in Microsoft Access that there's a lingering feeling that there has been hidden roadblocks purposely put in the program to make you want to continually hit your head against the wall. One such event that dented a particular spot in the drywall was a screenshot of an online form that we needed to email to a client. The problem that came up, was the image and the buttons in the Access form that was created would not show in the screenshot. Looking and poking around in the labyrinth of functions it was finally found what was needed to change and my head was happy. So I will pass along the details so you will not suffer the same fate.
