Record Selector Problem
When I initially open a form, the Record Selector does not
work i.e. I am unable to navigate through the records. They push in and out, however do not move from the current record. This behavior also applies to the 'New Record' button on the Record Selector. However, after I click in any field within the form, I can go back to the Record Selector and then it works as advertised. Any ideas? Thank you Denis |

Does the form have a subform? If so, are you clicking on the record selector
for the wrong form? -- Wayne Morgan Microsoft Access MVP "Denis" wrote in message ... When I initially open a form, the Record Selector does not work i.e. I am unable to navigate through the records.

The form does have a number of subforms and I am clicking
on the record selector of the main form. This database has been in use for the past 4 years, and this problem has only emerged in the past couple days or so, and no changes were made to the form or any of the subforms! While I do have an annoying workaround (click in a field first), I guess I am curious at what can cause this behavior and whether others have seen something like it. Thanks for your reply.

No, I haven't seen it before. I have seen folks grab the wrong record
selector when there were subforms, but once they realize that it usually doesn't happen again. Unless you have some code moving the focus, the only thing I can think of would be some sort of corruption. You can find information on handling that at this link. http://members.iinet.net.au/~allenbrowne/ser-47.html -- Wayne Morgan Microsoft Access MVP "Denis" wrote in message ...

I will look at the corruption angle as I don't have code
moving the focus. Thank you for your time and help. Denis -----Original Message----- No, I haven't seen it before.
