A mailing label report created with the Mailing Label Wizard contains only one page, no matter how many records are in the underlying table or query. This problem occurs if your default printer is a laser printer, and you are using any of the following Avery mailing labels:

Q117169 ACC2: Installing MS Access with NT Creates New Program Group

When you install Microsoft Access version 2.0 on a computer running Microsoft Windows NT version 3.1, and you choose to install the Microsoft Access icons in an existing common group such as Applications (Common), Microsoft Access Setup creates a new group called Applications (Common)(Common) and places the Microsoft Access icons in this group, instead of in the group you chose.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q112752 ACC2: Report Section with Subreport Not Included In Output File

When you use the Output To command to output a report to a file, any section of a report that includes a subreport is not included in the output file.

You can use data access objects (DAO) in Microsoft Access version 2.0 to change the ownership of database objects (such as tables, forms, and reports) in unprotected Microsoft Access version 1.x databases, even though you cannot view or change the ownership of these objects using Microsoft Access version 1.x.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Changing the Show Ruler option in the Form & Report Design section of the Options dialog box overrides this setting in existing forms and reports.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q113929 ACC2: Code Called from OnFormat Creates Endless Formatting

A report that calls code from its OnFormat property may not ever finish formatting, becoming stuck in an internal page formatting loop. This problem may be more common in databases that have been converted from Microsoft Access version 1.x to version 2.0.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q116061 ACC2: Extra White Space Between Last Section and Report Footer

Extra white space is printed on your report after the last detail record or section of the report, before the report footer section. The extra white space is as tall as the last section printed before the report footer. Note that this problem will not occur on reports that do not have a report footer section.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q117609 ACC2: Paradox Password Protection Bypassed by Multiple Users

When you attach a password-protected Paradox table nonexclusively to a Microsoft Access version 2.0 database, the table behaves normally, allowing you to view the table's contents after you supply the correct password. However, once the password has been supplied by a user, any other user can then open the attached table and view its contents without supplying a password.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q117614 ACC2: Error Adding Zero-Length String to SQL NOT NULL Column

When you attach a SQL Server table that was created with a NOT NULL restriction on a column, then try to enter a zero-length string in the table, you receive the error message:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The column <column name> in table <table name> may not be null. (#233)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q117616 ACC2: Error Deleting Value from Attached SQL Server Table

When you attach an SQL Server table that has a column with a NOT NULL restriction to Microsoft Access, add a value to the restricted column in the attached table, then delete the value and attempt to commit the record, you receive the error message:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] The column <column name> in table <table name> may not be null. (#233)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q117610 ACC2: GPF Closing Data Outline Control Properties Box

When you add a data outline control to a form or report, then edit the control's properties, the Properties dialog box is normally modal, meaning that you cannot select anything outside the dialog box.

If, however, you click the property sheet for the form or report containing the data outline control, the property sheet gets the focus, and the modality of the data outline control's Properties dialog box is lost. You can then select anything in the database.

When the modality of the control's Properties dialog box is broken as outlined above, your mouse pointer may disappear, and you may receive a general protection (GP) fault.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q117612 ACC2: TransferDatabase Fails in Code, Not in Immediate Window

When you use the TransferDatabase action within a transaction in an Access Basic function, you receive the error message:
Couldn't update, locked by another user on this system.

However, if you set a breakpoint in the function and single-step through it, you do not receive the error message.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q117615 ACC2: GPF Using List Box Fill Function with Requery Method

When you fill a list box using an Access Basic function, and the function returns a static variable upon receiving the close code (8), and you then use the Requery method to requery the list box, you receive a general protection (GP) fault.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q114549 ACC2: Empty Recordset Report Hangs with Group KeepTogether

Microsoft Access stops while you are previewing a report, and may mark the database as corrupted. Running Repair Database on the database will eliminate the error message that says that the database is corrupted.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Q117611 ACC2: GPF Using GetChunk Method as Argument for Put Statement

When you use the GetChunk method in the third parameter of a Put statement, you get a general protection (GP) fault.
