Hi Experts,

Got puzzled with this one and would appreciate any pointers.

A form with an inputbox under OnOpen opens as it should when called from the
custom menubar created but refuses to when the relevant button is clicked on
the switchboard form. Form name is the same is in menubar item properties as
well as in the switchboard table's argument field. Where (or to what) should
I look at?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't used a switchboard in so long that I forget exactly how they work
but.... does the form open correctly if you lose the inputbox? If it does
then you could always get at the inputbox by using the timer event instead.

Hi Rob,

Thanks, I will check that. I used the name "swithcboard" just to better
indicate it was the menu form. I hate the name as well.

Finally got it! But it seems quite strange. There was a sub-form within the
main and its code was producing an error (was coded in wrong!). But somehow,
when the main form was called from the CustomMenuBar it went through....
