I worked with Access for 10 years, and after 5 years away I've found myself assigned to do some work on a database created by someone else.
Lots of issues, I'm working through most. But here's a puzzler.
For reasons I don't want to get into right now, probably not related to the problem, rather than using a copy of the database, I created a new one and imported all the objects.
the first thing I notice is that none of the command buttons work. the underlying expressions are correct, for example ..
DoCmd.OpenForm "Frm_ClientInvolved", acNormal, , , acFormEdit, acWindowNormal, Me.box_ID
but, nothing happens.
So while troubleshooting I decided to create a new command button. It used to be that the button wizard would go through the basic steps and create an expression like the one above. Well this time, it created a macro. So the new button does work. But I don't want to have to redo every button in the system.
Anybody know why it's doing this. Or, is there some setting in 2010 that would influence whether the wizard creates a macro or a an expression.
Mostly.. why the heck don't those buttons work??
