Okay, I went to Microsoft's site and first downloaded SP1a as I apparently
had
no SP's installed. I installed that then installed SP3 so all is up to
date (the
SP version shows up now in Help | About), but the problem with the number
of
records still exists. Now I can't find Query Builder anywhere in any drop
down
menus or on the tool bar. I looked it up in Help and it tells me to open a
do***ent in Design View. I tried that and get a warning that I can't do
that
because the security setting in my browser is set too high and to lower it
or
see my system administrator. I AM the administrator. This is my home
computer.
What browser are they talking about? I only know about web browsers i.e.
Internet Explorer. What would this have to do with Access? I'm totally
confused.
Bottom line is I just can't figure out why, with one sort I get one number
of
records and with another sort, I get a different number.
