Locked out from O365 admin account
Hi! I am locked out from my non-protif organizations O365 admin-account. When trying to login, it ask for the authenticator code, but my authenticator app tells me to login and to login it needs an authenticator code..... I cant contact the O365 support since I cannot login. I found a phone number and talked to some AI bot, but it could not understand when I said the domain name of our organization and shut me down after 3 attempts. So - I have no way to login and handle my organizations account. Can someone please advice how to solve this, or how to get in touch with an actual human being in O365 support???
Access Error on File Import through VBA
We are running a custom VBA routine in Microsoft Access that imports and parses text files into a database. Starting around September 9th, some machines began showing an error dialog during this process. The dialog mentions a failure in the VBA Regular Expression engine. The error does not occur consistently. On the same machine, the import may succeed several times and then fail (roughly 1 out of 4 attempts). The behavior appears to vary depending on the input file. The VBA code itself has been unchanged for years and continues to function correctly on older builds. We are wondering if this is related to a recent update in Access or the VBA runtime. Has anyone else encountered this behavior, and are there known workarounds or fixes? Going to leave version numbers out of this post because it keeps getting deleted and I'm not sure why. This is my 4th or 5th attempt to write this post and it keep getting auto-moderated.Access Still Struggles on Data Import
More of a comment than anything else I have been a frequent flyer of Access since version 2.0. We used it almost daily for several years. I have since retired, and was away from it for a couple years now. However, due to a recent Office 365 account I started using again. One of the problems we had over the years with Access was on large data imports. This appears to be the same problem today as it was 30 years ago. Excel does not have this problem. Some of the same issues with Access "Does not recognize header name" Checking to insure header name was not a keyword and all rules were enforced, still did not allow the data to be imported. Since I needed to quickly turn around the information I had to link to an Excel file and run the queries. Pondering if MS has really done any improvments or serious upgrades with Access. I know programs cost resources to update. The other 3 Office apps have far more users than Access. I think Access is going to wither away within the next couple years. Was a great run when everything worked right. I have used a lot of different databases over the years. However, Access was the runt who was very user friendly and an awesome reports generator.

Adding sub form for a new year
I am new to access. I have a new job to work on the database. I am attaching a copy of the page where there is the membership record and below there are several subforms. I would like to add a new subform of "2025-2026 Dues". There are forms for the previous years and I can copy them, but I don't know how to get them at the bottom ofthe page I have shown below. Can someone help me?VBA
Hello everyone, I'm new here, so please be kind! This happens every time I create a new file, and Visual Basic Editor won't open in Access. When I click on 'Visual Basic', a pop-up box appears and I'm told that the database cannot be opened because the VBA project contained in it cannot be read. The database can be opened only if the VBA project is first deleted. Deleting the VBA project removes all codes from modules, forms and reports. You should backup your database before attempting to delete the VBA project. Note: To create a backup copy, click Cancel and then make a backup copy of your database. To open the database and delete the VBA project without creating a backup copy, click OK. Well, I have no database to read in the first place because I haven't made one, so what does it mean, and how do I fix this, please?
