    that one of my applications is not working properly and one of the columns is not showing up in one of the datagrid controls. I find out that this is only happening to one person on the floor out of about 30 users. --This is the only info that I am presented with for this problem. Note: This is a small in-house app with a SQL Server Express backend and a Access 2007 front end. It is a very simple app. Off the top of your head, with out further investigation, what do you think is causing the one column not to be visible to this one user? Remember, this user has made a very big deal with this bug/error report and management is hounding me for answers. :)

    Crack, lots and lots of crack smoking. Apparently it is mandatory for users to do before starting up any of my apps.

        They seldom solve themselves. Most often they are just hiding, and will reappear at an even less appropriate time. :)

            Everything depends on the amount of soap and water you have, the size of the windows and if you can open them and of course it will mostly depend on the height of the building and the floor # you are working... :rolleyes: Sometimes a small push to "help" the users is needed...

                        Option 1: Leave the user's body floating face-down in a culvert somewhere. Option 1, modified: Leave the user's body floating face-down, dressed only in a pink tu-tu, in a culvert somewhere. Option 2: Leave the user's head mounted on a pike outside their cube as a warning to others. Option 2 is my usual approach.

It is a very simple app. Off the top of your head, with out further investigation, what do you think is causing the one column not to be visible to this one user? Remember, this user has made a very big deal with this bug/error report and management is hounding me for answers. :)

                                        If the access application is hosted on the user's PC, sometimes this .mdb file can get subtly corrupt. Try replacing it with a known good copy first.
