    Loss of function when saving as ACCDE file


    When I save a system as a ACCDE file for use by users, some functionality is lost. A simple Macro, which closes existing form and opens a New form fails, but a similar Macro opening a differnt form works OK. Has anyone any experience of this??

    If the macros are run from within a form (button click event), then in design view, there is wizard available to convert macros to vba.
    Make a backup first, of course

    If some macros run but not others, it's likely not a Trusted Locations issue. Your situation is not clear.
    The macro does nothing?
    It closes one but doesn't open the next?
    No error message raised?
    It works for some users but not others?
