Hi John,
Thanks for confirming my guess. However, I have neve created a library in
Access. How do I go about this? In case it matters, I'm using Office 365
almost exclusively. fr occasional circumstances I have a VM with 32-bit
Office installed, but those needs are very occasional, and becoming rarer
and rater.
