I have an Access Database that everyone was able to access last month. I then had an issue where one user was only getting what appears to be design mode, on the same PC she is able to login as another account and the database runs properly. Myself and another tested and we are not able to get it to run either. The user is on an XP machine x32 and I am on Windows 7 x64. there are still some users able to access this with no issue the last I checked. I tried copying the ODBC connections from the working user to me but it still opens the same way. Would appreciate any guidance as to what would cause this. The last time it was accessible was 7/30/2012.

Thanks,

Issue resolved, turns out there were two versions of the database a local and a lan. The LAN version was not the right version.

Ok, being that it is happening on certain profiles on certain machines but not on other profiles on the same machine, have you looked at the individual user settings like macro settings (like I mentioned before)?

      Cloud storage of course is not for all types of files users have but more users should be taking advantage of the cloud because otherwise their files are not backed up at all. Most regular users are not going to do that so automatic backup of their data is a good idea and should be recommended. The cloud is just another service/tool with advantages and disadvantages.

      People do this with their iPhones and Androids. Smart people use cloud services as backups. No company deletes your account just like that. No company blocks your data for no reason. Having an external SSD and a paid cloud service is a must for anyone who works and for anyone who has sensitive data that needs to be backed up several times. Every CEO of a company has a corporate cloud service on their devices, but home users shouldn't use it, why?
    • Camtasia screen recorder now has a free version that works in your browser

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Camtasia screen recorder now has a free version that works in your browser by Aditya Tiwari TechSmith, the minds behind Camtasia, has announced an online version of its popular screen recording and video editing tool. The web-based version, called Camtasia Online, is now available through popular web browsers like Google Chrome and Safari. Camtasia Online is essentially a stripped-down version of its desktop counterpart. It is designed to let you screen record, customize, share, and collaborate on high-quality videos without needing to download any software or purchase a subscription. Screen recording tools are often used to create step-by-step walkthroughs and tutorials, personalized feedback or coaching, and showcase a product or service. Camtasia has been around since 2002 and is primarily accessible through paid offerings. The screen recorder has over 34 million users globally. TechSmith offers a free trial of the desktop version, but the exported files automatically include a watermark. That's not the case with its modern counterpart, according to the company, which doesn't require any subscription. Note that while the online screen recorder is free to use, you still need a TechSmith account to use it. "While this first release focuses on streamlined creation, it will continue to grow in capability, and users can move projects into the Camtasia desktop editor for more advanced editing when needed,” TechSmith's CTO, Tony Lambert, said in an emailed statement. The web-based version allows you to create 1080p short clips (Scenes) of up to 5 minutes in length, with options to record a specific app, window, or the entire screen. It can record the screen, camera, and microphone on separate layers for more flexibility during editing. You can record multiple scenes and export them as a single video file. Camtasia Online offers a variety of visual effects and backgrounds, and the ability to pick a custom size and position on the screen. For instance, you can place the screen recording in the top-left or bottom-right corner of the screen, depending on your preference. Camtasia Online comes with more than 85 pre-defined "looks" to match your preference, its maker said. You can remove the background, add borders, drop shadows, make corners round, add reflections, and more, before and after recording a scene. You can also trim a video after recording with support for reversible changes. The online screen recorder also lets you collaborate with other users by sending invitation links. You can either give them access to the entire project or just a single scene. You can also preview the scenes before exporting them or re-record if something doesn't feel right. TechSmith also offers integration with Camtasia 2025's desktop version, allowing you to utilize additional features such as transitions, annotations, and dynamic captions. You can click on the Export button to download the project and use it in the desktop editor. Overall, Camtasia Online could be a suitable option for quick screen recording sessions and a viable choice for beginners. However, one downside is that it can be a bit tricky to download the video file directly through your browser. First, click on the "Export to Screencast" option in Export settings, which opens TechSmith's online hosting service. Then, make sure you're signed in to your TechSmith account, and click on More > Download to download the video file to your device.
    • Intel's next-gen desktop processors leak with a whopping number of cores

      By +sphbecker · Posted

      Intel is pretty consistent about dropping a new CPU every year, typically in Q3. The fact that we are starting to get more information now implies they are on track.
