Blank Form. Why?

[pullmyefinger]

Added a menu to an application and the add choice works by bringing up form1 tied to eqpt table. works.

The edit choice is supposed to open the Edit form. It was created, i can make changes to it but when I click on the menu choice it brings up a Blank Form. this form is also tied to the EQPT table, it allows edits and deletions but no additons.

I do not want to use form1 (add) again cuz it has stuff on it that will confuse the user.

I have been through everything I can think of and nothing works.

Any ideas?

Inside information I didn't know it saves a log of failed tries

The people that wrote the code for this site obviously did not think of a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer when being asked a direct question.

Come to think of it, where are the directions that mention having to compact your database and use an ms email client to upload a file(s)?? Is that why I can't upload? My email clients are fine.

What about the missing security token message I keep seeing with no explanation of what it is or how to fix it??

perhaps, or perhaps there was another reason.

Where did you get that from? Can you provide a link? You don't need an MS Email client to upload a file. I have instructions here:

Sorry, but that has more to do with your browser than it does with the site. I believe it has to do with a time out setting, but I am not sure which. I've had it happen to me in the past but it has been quite a while now since I've gotten it. I can usually close all browser windows and delete all temp files (sometimes clearing cookies helps). If you just want to find this site's cookies and not delete others, try this free product out:

Gonna try an upload now that I have directions to do it. This will apply to the edit form, which I think I will add a DELETE Record option.

OH, is there a way to add a record search control so that the person using this doesn't have to scan through all the records sequentially? I was thinking about a combo box and/or a spin button tied to the EQPT table ( the recsource for most of these forms).

Much better! I got confused when the attach files section said that an .mdb file was a legal extension.

Why are you attaching your db? I thought you had this resolved?

A search feature is a different topic. This topic has been covered several times so search the forum for info on it. If you want to use a Combo box the easiest way is to drop a new combo box onto the Header section of your form, select the third option that reads something like "Find a record on my form based on the value selected in my combo box", follow the wizard till the end. It will only work with bound forms.

 

[pullmyefinger]

I never said or ever meant to say I had it resolved. The form still comes up blank. Thanks for the other info though, but that is not the important part of the question. If the form does not show at run time the search feature is irrelevant.

You confirmed the Data Entry property is set to Yes, what you needed to do was to set it to No. That will stop it from being blank.
