    Lost report formatting


    I am NOT a computer guy and I inherited maintenance of our 2007 Access database from my predecessor. In the last week, something has happened that I need to fix QUICKLY. On the Main Switchboard, one option available is Reports. Once inside Reports, I should be able to choose from three to run.

    Something has happened within the last week to change all of that. When I enter reports, it automatically runs one report and the formatting has all changed. It will not allow me to choose which reports or for which customers. I don't know if it's a filter or relationship problem, but I'm catching heat from above.

    Is there an easy way to fix this? My worst-case scenario is to use the last backup (about a week and a half ago) and manually re-enter the information since then. I need to learn about this program, though, and would like to find out how to truly fix the problem.

    Does anyone have any advice?

    Thank you kindly.

    It is practically impossible to tell what might have happened without looking at the db. Any chance of posting the db, or at least enough of it to show the problem. You should be able to demonstrate the problem with out data in the tables I think. Of course there is always your worst-case scenario option.
