Anyway, thank you very much. &nbsp;Good, clear answer.<br />

I have an application written in Access 10.  It is installed in over 100 sites.  Just recently some users have been getting the attached error message after years of running the program without a problem.  It seems to be associated with the Access 10 Run Time.  If I repeatedly click on Ignore, Cancel, or Retry it tries to install it and fails, and rolls the update back.  If I do this 4 or 5 times and then start the application, it runs.

Any clues?

Thanks in advance.

Problem Registering Font

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
