Do try changing the resolution, Zenkitty. Mine's set lower than the recommended, because the recommended settings make everything too tiny for me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have the resolution set at 96 dpi, which it tells me is "normal". When I set the screen size at less than the recommended 1680x1050, the letters weren't clear anymore. I think I'm just going to have to fiddle around with it a bit.
The screen itself is 18.5 x 12 inches, if that tells anyone anything meaningful to my quest.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Goodness that sounds frustrating, ZenKitty!
I have another access question. I am creating a form letter to email to our students. I have most of it down, but I would like to customize the letter with different directions based on what room with class is in. The rooms are stored as numerical values in the field "Location". Basically, I need a expression that means If the Location = 1, then Directions to room 1, If Location = 2, then enter directions to location 2, etc.
I only see, in access how to deal with 2 such variables (If, Else). In Filemaker I could use a function called "case" to do this, but I don't know the equivalent.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
As long as the location data is in a table, the function you want is DLookup.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You could try the 'Switch' function. You can read about it in the help system - if you have questions then let me know....

Thanks-- I will investigate. Google and help was getting me nowhere without the right search terms.

I wouldn't use DLookup in a query except in very special circumstances, as there can be major performance penalties. If the location data is in a table you could just add the table to the query, join it to the main table and get it that way.
OTOH, if the mailing list is small, performance shouldn't matter much.
