Form Opens Blank for one user

[cdoyle]

Hi,
I know this has to be something I'm just overlooking.

I've asked a couple people to test out my database.

I have a form, where they can click a button that opens another form where they can enter some information.

but for 1 user, when they click on the button. The other form 'opens' but it opens blank, and by blank I mean no fields, no text, a completely white space.

What would cause that?

It's a split DB, and I sent out a MDE.

any ideas?

did you try to send him another copy of the mde file?

Ya, that was the first thing I did.
But she is still having the problem.

Could it be a security thing?
Maybe she doesn't have write access to the folder the backend is in?

well if she cannot make any additions/deletions etc to the BE then it could be, but if it is happening to just one form and works on the other forms, then i very much doubt it.

The other form 'opens' but it opens blank, and by blank I mean no fields, no text, a completely white space.

This behavior is almost always the result of two things happening at the same time:

A form being set so that no records can be added; the reasons for this can vary

There being no data in the underlying table/query

The only other thing I could think of would be some weird sort of corruption. You obviusly have a split DB, but how exactly is it set up? Where are the front ends and where is the back end? I assume if she can open the main form and has data that she has access to the location of the back end. Does she have write permission on that location?

It turns out she didn't have write permission to the network folder.
So I just requested access, so once that's set hopefully this fixes it.

Thanks everyone for your help.
