I just inherited an Access2000 application, so I'm trying
to understand how it works, but that's not the issue. I
made a copy of all elements on my local PC, so that I
could play and make changes. The databases are linked,
so I changed the links to look at my local files. When I
did that, one of the forms is misbehaving - basically,
the form has 3 tabs but these tabs are not shown on my
local version. I have no clue what the problem is and
neither does my predecessor, although he did have this
working fine on his PC - unfortunately that PC has since
been wiped out. HELP!
 
It might be a validation routine that is turning off the tabs. Check
through the code for the word "visible" and see if something it turning this
off. Or the tabs could be part of a sub form that didn't get carried over
to your local copy. You will just have to do some investigating. The other
possibility is that your form got corrupted. Import this form into a new
database to fix the corruption and see if the tabs are still missing.
