Cannot Create a Form
Problem: In Design or Layout view the "Add Existing Fields" and "Property
Sheet" do not work in any data base new, old, practice. "In both – Create Form and Report Sections." I installed and reinstalled Access 2 times to include the updates. I updated my display drivers - I have a NVIDIA G Force 8800 GTX I changed resolutions and color settings I turned Security off - when reinstalling - no go. I ran Office Diagnostics at least 20 times - no problems reported I ran (2) 3d party registry checkers - no problems reported Ended up crashing with Check Disk - never do that with Running a RAID Mirror - anyway $350 dolars later - I restored my system to a time it worked - causing havoc with the security and other programs all of which are resolved but not this problem. It has defeated me. All I can think of is a corrupt .dll and unable to override it. It may be a simple registry fix - I am now way out of my League as what to look for or even where to look. Help - I have been stuck going on 3 months -- dbnut |

Does not work is not very descriptive. It sounds like you are using Access
2007. What operating System? Have you set your Trusted Location yet? http://www.btabdevelopment.com/main/...7/Default.aspx dbnut wrote: Problem: In Design or Layout view the "Add Existing Fields" and "Property Sheet" do not work in any data base new, old, practice.

In design view, going to the top left of the form where the little square is
located and left click so it has a dark square in it, what happens when you right click that square? dbnut wrote: When I go into design the Icons "Add Existing Fields" and "Property Sheet" when picked do nothing.

- Nothing happens when you left click
- Right Click - I get a pull down menue with all the view options - the properties selection does not work there either. - I also downloaded Northwind 2007 Database as a test - it opens fine - I tried your suggestion and it is as described above. - I tried this in Reports same responses except there was a print view. -- dbnut "ruralguy via AccessMonster.com" wrote: In design view, going to the top left of the form where the little square is located and left click so it has a dark square in it, what happens when you right click that square? dbnut wrote: When I go into design the Icons "Add Existing Fields" and "Property Sheet" when picked do nothing.

So the Northwind sample db works fine? Great! It is pointing to something in
this one db. Create a new, empty db and inport the old one into it. Then Compact and Repair and then see how it works. dbnut wrote: - Nothing happens when you left click - Right Click - I get a pull down menue with all the view options - the properties selection does not work there either. - I also downloaded Northwind 2007 Database as a test - it opens fine - I tried your suggestion and it is as described above. - I tried this in Reports same responses except there was a print view.

Cannot Create a Form
No the editing functions in the Northwind sample data base did not work - the
data base opened fine and worked as expected as all my other data bases. I created a new data base - the ability to add fields and see properties does not work. I cannot edit forms or reports. I am forced to use the wizard and as you know that is a one time shot. Miss a field and there is no way to edit one in. I cannot see the properties of the form. I tried the repair and compact - did not solve the problem. You mentioned pointers but I swear these editing functions have been turned off somehow. It has to be in the programing - one person on another help board suggested it was a display device driver that was causing the problem - but I believe I chased that to ground. It is not a security hangup (Drop down Menue - I had Alpha 5 hang up the same way but stopped security and reloaded and it works fine in Alpha 5) as I disabled all my security software reloaded Access and that did not resolve the problem. Mind you the program worked fine until one day. The only thing I can figure one of those automatic upgades must have wrote over a file that diagonistics cannot find nor uninstall will remove and reinstall will overwrite. I have been using Access for years and never had a problem like this. One day I decide to add another field to a form and I discovered it was disabled along with properties. No matter what I have done seems to work. So it has to be a currupt .dll or some such thing. It just occured to me - maybe the problem is in the ribbon. I removed the icons and readded them - but no. So it has to be something else. Are you aware of a micro that has been writen that will do the same thing that I can add to the tool bar and bypass the whole problem? It is almost to the point that it would have been cheaper to buy another computer and only set up access on it - ruling everything out. -- dbnut "ruralguy via AccessMonster.com" wrote: So the Northwind sample db works fine?

Have you tried uninstalling the Office 2007 SP2 to see what happens?

No - In fact. I uninstalled and reinstalled the whole Office Suite. I have a
call into Tech Support as this has to be a programing issue. Something is disabling these functions. Diagnostics finds nothing wrong and my regristry scanners cannot find anything wrong. Thanks for trying - I will let you know the outcome. -- dbnut "ruralguy via AccessMonster.com" wrote: Have you tried uninstalling the Office 2007 SP2 to see what happens? dbnut wrote: No the editing functions in the Northwind sample data base did not work - the data base opened fine and worked as expected as all my other data bases.
