    Copy or Back-up of DB Switchboard not working??

    I have a MS-Access DB on a network drive. I am using MS-Access 2007.
    When I copy the file name.mdb to my local drive C: my documents.

    I can open the file within My Documents. The switchboard appears but nothing works?? The icons for reports, forms, queries and blink and do not take any action.

    I can hold the shift-key down and open the database in design mode and the queries and reports will work from there. The switchboard will open but nothing works??



    I am puzzled by this. I do have a copy I did once a month ago of the DB which works. I can copy the DB on the network drive but nothing works still on the switchboard??

    I need to do some Access modifications and wanted to work on a copy but I can not get the copy to work??


    Could it be the configuration of my ODBC?
    Could it be in the Switchboard code?

    Thx for any help

    Fix - copy of DB switchboard not working

    FIXed - I added my document folder as trusted location. The IT guy here did not know what the problem was either. There was no stop message or warning the switchboard just did not work, while if open in design mode the queries all worked. Who would of thought MS would not give us a hint.
