I've set up a database at work which incorporates a number of forms, with links to other forms.

I've copied the database, so I can work on it at home. When I opened it up on my home computer, the links are not working.

How do I get a fully functioning copy ?

Cheers

what do you mean by LINKS to other forms?

what exactly is not working? what are the error messages? are the procedures registered inside the database? do you have outside connection sources? etc... please be detailed...

I have a number of buttons, which when clicked on run a macro which closes the current form & opens a new one.

what exactly is not working?

When I click on the buttons, nothing happens.

what are the error messages?

I don't get any error messages

are the procedures registered inside the database?

I don't know

do you have outside connection sources? etc...

No

please be detailed...

I should have mentioned that I'm a complete newbie. Sorry about the lack of detail in my post. Until I read your reply, I thought my post WAS pretty detailed.

And thanks for your quick reply.

Cheers

if nothing happens when you click the buttons, then there is something wrong obviously, but unless someone here could actually SEE it, there's no way to tell what is going wrong. IMO.
 
That's the only thing that should cause it to not work at home when it works at work (if it is a single mdb/accdb file). If it is a split database (frontend / backend) then you would need a copy of the backend and then need to relink while at home.
 
You could also try compiling the database to find any vba errors.

Open the vba editor>Debug Menu>Compile <dbnamehere>

This should highlight any code which might be causing the db to stop running the code and give you somewhere to start with tracking down the issue.
 
I Think that he just forgot to take the tables from the BE database.
