Why is my database blank when I upload it to the Remote Desktop?

Problem: I just uploaded my database to remote desktop and when i open it, I get a blank Microsoft Access page

We have received a lot of these support tickets lately for users that have signed up for the RDP starter plan.  Remember that the starter plan does not include the full version of Access - but rather the Access Runtime. The Runtime does not have the same feature set as the full version of Access.  One of the differences, is that it lacks the left-side navigation to jump between forms making it essential that you set a start-up form in your Access Database BEFORE uploading it to your RDP Starter plan.  Developers often create a home navigation form that allows users to jump around within a runtime app but as long as you have set some kind of start-up form, when you upload your database it will not be blank when you open it on the RDP Starter Plan.

Of course, if you would like to use the Full Version of Access - you can sign up for a Free Trial of our Access Pro plan here.
