Receiving error on contact database

[tcd2004]

I'm trying to help out a friend who is creating a contact list in Access 2007
for a hair salon and we are running into an error message. The error comes
up when we do a search, and then click the show all button next to the search
box. The first dialog box pops up with this error message:

"contact management database"
"you can't disable a control while it has the focus."

When Ok is clicked, this error box shows up:

"action failed"

Macro Name:
Contact List : cmdShowAll : OnClick : Embedded Macro

Condition:
True

Action Name:
SetValue

Arguments:
[Forms]![Contact List]![cmdShowAll].[Enabled], 0

Error Number:
2950



On the second error box, the only option available to click is "stop all
macros" It is strange because sometimes we would run a search for a persons
name, then click the show all button to get back to the entire list, and
there would be no error. More times than not though the error will show up.
As I said, it is a list for a hair salon so it is important that this be
error free by the time it goes to them. Any idea what would be causing this?
Thanks

Did you start with one of the MS Templates? It looks to me like you are trying to disable the cmdShowAll button. Why?

To be honest, I'm not positive. I started helping out in the the middle of it. I am assuming he did start with a template though. The only thing I did was click the show all button so that all of the contacts would show up instead of the ones that came up do to the search. As soon as I click that button, the error comes up

If that macro is running when you click the "ShowAll" button then the error should be expected. Can you remove just the disable part? Maybe convert the embedded macro to code so we can see what is going on.

I wish I was more proficient in access, however I can't say that I am. How would I go about doing that?

[RuralGuy]

Clink on the link I gave you and it shows how to do it, with picturers even.

This is a bug in the Template, i guess but you say the error is expected. how would i remove the disable part? very annoying error, kills usability.

do you consult?
