Screen Font is messed up in Access file databases.

Craig

When I open any Access database files, the screen font is almost un readable.
How do I correct this.

If you are talking about the font used for displaying datasheets in Access,
go to:
Tools | Options | Datasheet | Font

If you are using Access 2002, and there are no fonts available in that
drop-down list, reduce the number of fonts you have installed.

Right now I have about 525 installed fonts. It was working fine and I did not installed any programs lately that would have installed fonts. Do you suggest reducing to a certain numbe of fontss

Hi Craig.

I do recall the issue, but not the actual number of fonts that triggered the
problem.

If your symptoms are exactly as described:
- silly font used for datasheets,
- no fonts to choose from in drop-down list for datasheets under options,
- Access 2002,
- latest Office SP applied,
then yes, try reducing the font count.
