Ha ha ha, guess what, it won't accept just any icon. I found one of those icons that has different bit depth and sizes bundled into one. I would imagine that it may have to have some or all of them. I haven't figured it out completely yet, but I'll let you guys know when I do. If anybody has...

I've seen this error before. Although when it happened to me I was using a listbox. What a pain in the but those can be sometimes. What I had done was referenced a property of the listbox that doesn't exist. You said you haven't entered any code at all huh. Perhaps, click on the combo...

I could be totally wrong, but it sounds like your subform is linked to your main form and in order to start entering data into the subform you need to have a record to associate it to. Try entering data into the main form first and see if that helps any. Best of luck. alteque

Doing this with code is possible and really not too complicated, and you have options. You could use ADO or DAO but you need to add references to them. An easier way may be to create a query to select the record you want to add and then change the type of query to an "add" query. Change the...

Hmm, I wish I had a perfect fix for this problem, but my best suggestion would be to shrink your form to fit the screen and perhaps use a some tabs to switch back and forth from the two subforms. I don't know if they need to be viewed at the same time. Good luck in your search. alteque

Interesting question, you may have a form_ondeactivate event firing that's hiding the window. Have you moved the form to see if it's under there? Also, if you don't want the confirmation to show up you can always use docmd.setwarnings = false but remember to turn it back on afterwards or you...

Hmm, I've seen the code before. I know its something like this For Each ctl in me.form loop code next ctl Just put whatever you need in the "loop code section" Hope this helps. alteque

Hmm, I know you can call the File Open api, but to actually run an external application on a form... I don't know. I'll look around though. alteque

Use the Sub Form_Current This event fires everytime you move from one record to another. Then just check to see if the sales order number is a zero length string "" or isnull() and make your adjustments as necessary. Hope this helps. alteque

Thanks everybody for responding to this frustrating question. I did notice that it has the icon choice in there. However, when I choose and icon it gives me a message saying that this filetype is not supported. I wonder if it has something to with the dimensions of the icon. I'll check...

I'm running Access 2000 and want to use some different icons than available through Access on some command buttons. So far, I can only get it to accept bitmaps. This isn't a problem if bitmaps can have a transparency. I don't think they can though. Any suggestions? The icons I want to use...
