Access Default Datasheet Font

[Aaron]

Hi All.

I need some help. I am running windows XP with Office XP
Pro. My Access is causing me some bother...

Just recently all of a sudden my default font for my
datasheets (Queries, tables) changed to Times New Roman
(I think). This is the case for ALL databases. Now the
bad bit of news...

I have tried to change the default font by doing this
through the menu's: TOOLS > OPTIONS > DATASHEET >"Default
Font" Dropdown box is EMPTY and I can not select or type
in a default font.

I don't know how to fix this up. I have tried doing a
REPAIR installation of MS OFFICE XP and also a complete
reinstall of it... but nothing fixes it.... please this
is really really really annoying me.

Thanks In Advance
Aaron Glover

Aaron, I am having the exact same problem. I, too, have
Windows XP with Access 2002 (XP version). I don't see any
fonts in the drop down box either. I have also tried a
repair installation and a complete uninstall and reinstall
of Access 2002, with no resolution of this problem.

Interestingly, I also have Access 97 installed on my
machine, and the drop down list in Access 97 (using
Tools/Options/Datasheet) works fine. All my other Office
applications work fine, as well, in terms of the drop down
listings of fonts. If you get an answer privately to your
question, I would love for you to share it with me.

Thanks.

I believe this is caused by having too many fonts in your fonts folder.
Try deleting ones you don't use. More info/ideas in
