Steps to reproduce: create a data-bound form with textboxes showing text field values. Place the cursor in a textbox. Type. In my Microsoft Access 2016 accdb, I have a form with textboxes showing table field values. When I click on any of these text boxes, the blinking text input cursor appears in the text box more or less as expected, but with an offset that grows as it moves further to the right. What I mean by offset is that the cursor is shown in a certain place, but entering/deleting text happens a bit further to the left. With the cursor all the way at the beginning of the textbox, editing happens right there. But at the other extreme, if I hit End, the cursor is shown some 5-10% behind the text in the field. Moving a position to the left with the left cursor key, the cursor is still some distance behind the displayed text, but entering text happens before the final character. And when I click somewhere in the middle of the text, the cursor can even display in the middle of a character, and editing always happens a bit to the left of the cursor. It's as if the text is scaled at 95% for display, relative to the (invisible) text for cursor positioning. Interestingly, I took a look in my tables, and the behaviour in text fields in the tables is exactly the same. I've found reports of this elsewhere, but none of the causes and solutions apply here. There are no special characters (tabs or otherwise) in these text fields. There is no code in the Change event. There is no timer running. I suspect it's a scaling issue somehow, but I can't find any explanations or solutions anywhere. And the issue makes editing the text data near-impossible. I've resorted to copying the text to Notepad, editing there, and pasting it back.Solved86Views0likes6CommentsCross Forest Contact and distribution group migration

Exchange 2016 trying to send mail to sargb.com. Instead of sending to their MX "sargb-com.mail.protection.outlook.com", it is sending mail to sargb.com (18.235.162.72). I cleared the DNS cache on the 2-domain controllers and flushed DNS on Exchange. What should I try next?

Hello, I want to insert tables from Excel into a Word document. However, the Word document is in portrait orientation and has a header and footer that need to be located on the narrow side margins of the pages displaying the tables as they would in portrait mode. The tables, on the other hand, are large enough to span across multiple pages in landscape orientation and need to be separated - automatically at best. Ideally, the table would automatically repeat the header row at the top of each new page. Additionally, the inserted Excel table would be linked to the original file, so changes in the .xlsx file would reflect in the table inserted in the Word document. How can I achieve this goal? Here is what I have tried already: section breaks - helps, inserting and linking the table in landscape mode but issues with footer, header and page breaks arise creating an extra text field and rotating the table - no link and therefore no updated data in the table, next to the issue with page breaks In the end I need to insert around 20-30 multi-page long tables in landscape format and would really appreciate avoiding a tremendous amount of work, every time I need to update the data in the tables. If there is more information needed, Iยดd be happy to share them. Thank you for your assistance!910Views0likes1CommentMS Access Forum Web Design Irritation
๐ Can we take a vote and get a show of hands for how many MS Access Forum users find the little social media bar on the side of the screen not only unnecessary but also an annoying waste of virtual real estate? ๐ Any chance the site admins could reconsider the location of that annoying little intrusion to possibly find someplace else to try and recruit new members to your OTHER social media outlets? ๐คฃ A wise old saying that so many members of the current human population seem to have forgotten or never learned is, "Just because you can do something, doesn't necessarily mean that you should." If more people understood those words I would not be here right now typing these words... ๐คช LMAO Have a wonderful day everybody!17Views0likes1CommentProgram for Exchange Gets Contacts with Duplicated "OrganizationalIDNumber"
We have an old VB program that copies contacts from Microsoft Exchange to our SQL database. This worked fine for many years until 2017 when it started getting duplicated OrganizationalIDNumber from new contacts. I have been manually worked around this problem ever since (because I was busy and I am not familiar with this VB program). Now that I get some time, I want to fix this problem for good. We are expecting the OrganizationalIDNumber to be "1", "2", "3", .... But the new contacts all get the same ID "4303". I am under the impression that OrganizationalIDNumber is 32-bit. This should represent a very large number. Moreover, the program is using it as a string, and it is saved in our database as a varchar(255) data field. The ID should not be truncated (or so I thought). This certainly appears like the ID is being truncated though. My questions are: Does this look like something that you have come across? What is the solution? Where is the configuration setting in Microsoft Exchange that defines the data type of OrganizationalIDNumber? Our Exchange is version 2016. Please help if you can. Thanks. jchan70Views0likes1CommentMailboxtype is not changed after migration to ExchangeOnline

We are setting up an environment where we have a shared smtp between 2 exchange organization for migration. So on each organization we'll configure a send connector for the SMTP domain.com ( internal relay ) To prevent a mail loop for non existent recipient I think a mail flow rule must be created, and I saw some articles that I couldn't find anymore, to check for the X-headers. Can anyone help me providing some examples ? thanks290Views0likes1CommentExchange Mailbox copy Databases Keep Disconnect
Hello, Since June 26th, PRTG has been notifying me about the disconnection of the copy databases on the secondary Exchange server.
