that one of my applications is not working properly and one of the columns is not showing up in one of the datagrid controls.

As lyrics go, I don't think a lot of them. I'm no good at these sorts of questions anyway so who is it by?

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...

If I had any fear of being labeled as sexist I would use word 'user'. Damn, this PC horseshit needs to stop.

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.

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.

bingo! Actually, I think you were all right. The column was not visible because they forgot they moved the columns to the right using the scroll bar. It has come to my attention that they did this on quite a few records, which you would think they would have noticed but alas they did not. To top it off, the manager on the floor didn't catch the problem (or didn't even look).
With this knowledge, ask the manager who fielded the complaint and got on your case why it is only happening on that one person's computer and not on any other computer. If the manager has any intelligence, then he will see that the individual with the complaint needs retraining.
