In my department we use several "linked" databases (from an MSSQL machine). Yesterday we had a catastrophic loss of data when another part of IT mistakenly wiped our machine and reinstalled a new OS. There were several things that failed, including us having an EXTERNAL backup of the .mdf files...

I just noticed a couple of things about your question. You noted "without VBA," and you also mentioned Sharepoint. Are you using Access for any of this, and if so, why no VBA?

It's pretty easy overall. Let's say the name of the control on the first form is "Report Number". For that matter, it can also be called "Report Number" on your second form as well, for consistency. The name of the first form is "First Form", and the second is "Second Form." You already have...

I have a form with several option groups, that when selected, store values in fields. Let's say one option group has the options of: A - D - VL - M - ADD If I select "D" then D is stored as a value. OK, now that we have that. The thing is, this forms need to be updatable. As it is, when I...

I just love it when features are removed without flexibility to reverse them.

One of the first things I checked. Nothing there. There is a "Use Windows Themed Controls on Forms," but it changed nothing that I could see.

I hope you do, because I'm someone who has trouble moving on until something is resolved. This will be two days just trying to get these to show up. After more experimenting. If I do ANY type of styling to the classic buttons, they won't show up. Crazy.

I may have to, but I certainly would miss the nice looking styling. You sure you want to install 2010 after what I'm running into?

The button difference looks to be an Access 2007/2010 thing. I can tell that your default report template is 2007, where in 2010 it's a little different, even though the filetype is 2007. Nice. Since buttons can be used and print out fine in 2007, I can now only assume this is a bug with Access...

OK, we're getting somewhere. Your button styling is different than mine - by default. The styling of your buttons look closer to Access 2003 buttons. These buttons may be a feature of 2010? I can't find anything different in your settings, but the difference is there. Interesting enough, in...

I've tried it with an image and without. It's not transparent. There's been some Access issues in the past that have stumped me for awhile, but I managed through them. This one has really got me and it's a showstopper.

Same thing when printing to paper. Just plain buttons, straight from the control box. It's maddening. Just tried something else that I hoped would work. I tried the On Print event for the section and set the control Visible = True. I had high hopes, but it had no affect. Just in case it was...

Tried every Display When setting to no avail. I've tried copying/pasting the button and creating from scratch. I just did another test with ALL the possible controls, and the only ones that can't be seen are the buttons. All other controls display fine. I've also tried different formatting of...

I don't have any info in the DB. The problem are the filters here at work. This website is barely usable at work because it blocks all the CSS. No graphics show up and because of how it looks, I can't even see how to upload anything (I think it's the buttons in the reply box, but they're all red...

Unfortunately in my work environment I can't upload. Did you use an Access 2007 DB? (Well, technically this is Access 2010 using 2007 format) For the PDF creation, did you use the built function of Access? I just tried again, both regular button and toggle for a sanity check and no joy...
