Form Format on 'Open' Question

[BrokenBiker]

In the attached database, you can open either the Employee or Course List forms and they both open in the Split View--normal form on top, and datasheet below. I created another form (Training Rip) and copied the command buttons to open the other forms, but when the Training form opens, it opens in datasheet only. I can still go to View>Form, and it'll work fine; but I just can't seem to figure out why it doesn't open in split view, like it's supposed to.

It's built in 2007 and based off the Projects template from MS.

All of your split forms open split for me. Have you applied all of the Office 2007 updates and HotFixes?

That could very well be the problem. I'm off work and using a trial version of Access 2007 at home. It just seems strange that even after copying the form and command button that it would work differently than the others.

The form frm_9119 opens fine when I have it set to start up when the db is opened and also when you open the form manually. It's only when I try to open that form from a command button that it shows up in datasheet view w/the top portion of the form 'hidden.'

What command are you using behind the button? Are you requesting a Split Form View with the button? I did not see a button on the forms. Do you have one there?

 

[BrokenBiker]

The db opens to the form w/the employee listing. In the upper right-hand corner there are two buttons: Training Rip and Course List.

-----------------------

Oops. I just found my problem. I had inadvertantly set the macro to open the form in Datasheet, as opposed to form. I guess I couldn't see the forest for the trees. Sometimes it's just a good idea to step away from the keyboard.


Thanks for taking a look, Rural Guy.

Excellent! You always learn more when you solve the problem yourself. That's great.
