MS Access Forum / New Users / July 2006Control does not work
Hi, I copied this from a sample database. I am making a menu form for the user to decide if he wants to start a new record, edit an old one, or run a report. This is supposed to start a new record, and it works in the sample database, but when I click it in mine, nothing happens. Any suggestions? Thanks! In the On Click event of the control on the form I have: Menu_Items Macros.NewStudent : On Click In the macro group Menu_Items Macros, in the macro NewStudent I have: GoToRecord Object Type = Form Object Name = Students (the table and form name) Record = New in the OnClick event of the control on the form, select the macro name from the droplist *and do NOT add anything to the name*. i'm guessing the the actual name of your macro is NewStudent, not NewStudent : On Click. hth > Hi, > I copied this from a sample database.

I tried removing ": On Click:" It was also listed in the macro under Macro Name with the ": On Click" included, so I deleted it there, too. Now, both the form control and the macro name are "NewStudent". When I go to form view and click on the control, nothing happens. Do I need to tell it anywhere else that the form "Students" is a different form from the one my control is on, which is called "Menu"? > in the OnClick event of the control on the form, select the macro name > from [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >> Object Name = Students (the table and form name) >> Record = New Wait a minute! Something is happening! I see now that (both ways) it does move the record counter at the bottom to the 13th (1st blank) record. It just leaves all the information from the first record on the form. What do I need to do to tell it to blank out the form, too?

Should I also change that property on the form I went to (in addition to the form I came from)? Also, how do I switch the focus from the first form to the second, i.e. make the second form pop on top of the other?
