Access inventory not working
What "repair" attempts have been made? On a backup of the database, I trust.
Do other databases still work as-usual, e.g. File > New > Northwind?
Can you install the recent Windows updates?
- > Can you install the recent Windows updates?
I meant: Can you UNinstall the recent Windows updates?
Or move forward with latest Windows and Office updates.The inventory tabs on the menu screen will not launch to the file I am trying to access. Received inventory, Relived inventory, Etc, Even the close tab will not work on the main menu. The only tab working is the search by part number and at that file I can see pricing and number in stock, at that place I can change pricing but that's it. We have tried every fix that Microsoft recommended. Tried to reset but due to recent update that started the problem there were no reset points. File is backed up how ever before I knew there was a problem the backed up file is now the corrupted version. Sorry about the limited problem post, but I really do not have any computer skills which is why I allowed Microsoft support to remotely access my computer. He tried every fix that he knew and the problem is still here. As of now I am waiting to see if the person that created the inventory file has a copy or will come by to look at it, but that was back in 2007.

From your description I gather:
1. You can start Microsoft Access.
2. You can open the application.
3. It starts as normal. the "Menu" screen is visible.
4. Some features on the menu don't work, i.e. they don't open the form they used to open.
5. You don't have a good backup.
This inventory app, what is the filename? Presumably something like "inventory.accde"?
What is your version of Access?
