To recompile or not to recompile

[dabones99]

I am using a database that was created by a another user. I made changes to a report but when I run the program the changes are not reflected in the preview or print. Do I need to recompile the Report? And if so how do i do that?

P.S. Everything was created in Access 97 including the form.

Thank You

Hi

Compiling is good practice, it checks your code for syntax errors and makes it run faster, but failing to recomile would not cause the sympton you speak of.

You do not say what the nature of the change was, but could it be for example that you changed a query, but that query is not actually used in the report, perhaps the report record set is reset in code for example.
