Just curious if anyone has run into this problem and resolved it or know why it happens?
This is the scenario:
If I make a database and designate a specific form to display when the program runs, then split the database into a front end and back end, then move the back end to a different location, I get locked out of the front end - even if I put the BE in its original location where the 2 were linked. This behaviour is NOT the case if I have not designated a form to display at startup. If there is no form set to display at startup, then I can get in and re-link the tables to the new location, but if there is a form set to display at start up, then the database FE is locked out.
I cannot even get the database to let me click anywhere If I open the file by holding shift before starting.
I don't know if it has anything to do with the fact that the form I am using is a logon entry form or not, but it will not accept any passwords not even the correct one. I have been unsuccessful at getting around this problem, but I have a copy of the database, so I am not too worried. Of course, I would love to solve this as I don't like unexplained, strange behaviour.
If anyone has any thoughts on this, I would be interested to hear.
