edit list item missing in accdr

[goodhead]

I have just finished a 6 month long build of an access 2010 app.
I have used the publish wizard to make it publishable. This has made the accdb to an accdr file. No my edit list form don't work when you right click.

This seems to be an issue with accdr files.

Is there a way to have a button on the form that when clicked does same think as the right click option for edit option selected.

Or is there any other solution to this?

So annoying when so close to being able to0 offer this to some clients. Was not expecting.

The .accdr extension tells Access to pretend to be the runtime engine. The runtime engine hides all ribbons and menus. If you want functionality that they provide, you need to code it yourself, either with custom ribbons or buttons on your forms.

You could also just rename the .accdr to .accde to get the ribbons/menus back as long as your users actually have the full version of Access. If they are using the runtime engine then the rename won't help.

I've compiled it so that if any of them don't have office at all it will install office 2010 run time tools to make it work. Would the accde work with these run times?

If not do you know the code needed to do with a button?

I've sorted it.
