Hello
I have a database on Access 2003 - works !
Opended it in 2007 - does not work?
Converted it to 2007 - does not work?

All the forms and tables load okay.
I have a switchboard with command buttons - 'Click' - opens form
All the buttons act disabled, but are enabled in 'Properties'
I have tried everything I can think of, can anyone suggest any way forward
please
Would be much appreicated !

"...does not work" is not particularly informative.

Do you mean:
- the PC freezes up and displays no error message?
- the PC catches fire?
- Access produces an error message ... that says what?

More info, please...

Click to expand...

Your database needs to be in a "Trusted Location" for anything with VBA code
in it to work.

See Allen Browne's tips at http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html
 
Someone in the future may run into the same issue you faced.

If you provide the solution you found, you could be helping that (future)
person...
