First question

[FTAUSS]

I am in a new position and maintainging some preexisting code. The code is not how I would have done it but I am stuck with what I got.

Basic problem:

We have a form. On the form are some controls and a tab group. The tab group has 5 tabs each of which displays it's own form.

I added one of these tab/form combinations. On that form I placed 3 option group controls with 5, 3 and 2 options in each. If I run the form by itself the option groups work. The selecter moves from button to button and in tracing we go through the On-Click Subs just fine. But when run as part of the larger app the option buttons within the option groups don't work. Even temporary option buttons I placed on the form don't work, it is clear that despite there being On Click set for each, noting happens. The On Click for the Option Group (but not on a button?) will take me to the option group On Click sub but it has a value of zero.

I've been over it pretty thoroughly, the controls are enabled and unlocked, it just seems as if the controls can't find the On click Subs.

There is a set sequence the users follow wherein at one point the fields are editable and at other times are locked. However I have not put any of that code in this module yet. It appears to be a visibility problem, meaning the module for the form isn't visible to the form being displayed.

I'm sure the answer is something simple I am overlooking but HELP! PLEASE!

Not really. What s on the screens is propietary, it involves methods ad practices. And since this is a GSE , well I think you should understand.

In a nutshell the subform is loaded and control appears to return to the master form with the tabs. At least that is where the code stops.

private sub "On Tab change"
do something
display the subform
do something else

end sub

I had this problem a year ago, but I found a way to work around and didn't focus on it. The form is loaded, but then all the controls don't know where thier code is and won't respond to clicks. The tabs sit on the master form has control and that form still knows where it's procedure code is and responds to clicks.

Does the sub form need an activate or setfocus, I would have thought clicking on it was enough,

Sorry, can't help if I can't analyze project.

Does debugging (set breakpoint) confirm that code does not run at button click?
