Trying to use a screen resolution that isn’t supported will stop the database opening. A few users have found this when nothing happens after they press the ‘Load and Open’.
Barry Stuart advised the following supported resolutions:
-
Supported
The following screen resolutions are supported:
o 1024×768
o 1152×864
o 1280×720
o 1280×768
o 1280×800
o 1280×1024
o 1440×900
o 1680×1050
o 1920×1200
-
Not Supported
The following resolutions are NOT supported:
o 800×600
o 1024×600
o 1280×600
If your screen resolution isn’t a supported one, then reset your screen resolution in Control Panel to one of the above. Note that your PC will then remain at this screen resolution for any other work that you do.
Res-o-Matic
There is a program that enables screen resolutions to be set for specific applications then they revert to the ‘normal’ resolution for other work.
The program is Res-o-Matic and is reviewed at
