Odd Form Behaviour

[FrankHelbert]

Hi All



I have made a form in my database that is a list form.

It is a sort of wizard form, as you click next the list changes to a different row source this is all working fine.

I made a few changes to it for the next step of the wizard closed the form and then opened using the button from the other form that activates it and it is locking the database up and I have to use task manager to crash out.

Not too dissuaded by this I re-opened the database put a stop on code to step through and code steps through fine until same thing happens.

Hmmm.

So I reopen and try opening the wizard form in design view. Works fine in design view. Switch to form view works fine.

Hmmmm

Switch to layout view, and then to form view. Works fine.

Close wizard form.

Try and open direct from the list and the database stops responding.

What the heck is this?

I have found the cause.

The form had decided to become invisible. This is odd as I did not tell it to do that.

I simply added a visible statement to the open event and it solved it.

Why it decided to become invisible I cannot tell. There is nothing in the properties to make this happen.
