thanks Jerry, I will look that up. I found where it is an event on the
Switchboard Form properties. Unfortunately it still doesn't work.
Any ideals why it should stop working after 10 monthes? I added a new table
and added the queries ect. And of course I added a line to this Macro. What
could I have done to screw this up?

note that tony is neither
MOST
VALUABLE
or a
PROFESSIONAL
anyone with a clue would have started using SQL Server a decade ago;
it is a completely superior platform in all regards-- with no
negatives
only a retard that can't learn a real database would ever use Access
MDB
I mean get real-- move to ADP or real VB-- either way, Access MDB is
dead and it has been for a decade

I need more information.
1. What does the event on the Switchboard form say? These are normal:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
' Minimize the database window and initialize the form.
' Move to the switchboard page that is marked as the default.
Me.Filter = "[ItemNumber] = 0 AND [Argument] = 'Default' "
Me.FilterOn = True
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Current()
' Update the caption and fill in the list of options.
Me.Caption = Nz(Me![ItemText], "")
FillOptions
End Sub
There are also FillOptions() and HandleButtonClick() subs that are suppose
to be there.
2. Any Autoexec Macros?
3. Go to Tools, Startup. What is listed under Display Form/Page? Is it
something different than Switchboard?
4. What macro do you run manually? How do you run it normally? How do you
know that it isn't working?
5. What tables and stuff did you add and where did you add it?
6. What does the macro do and what did you add? Post the code for the macro
by going to Macros on the Objects bar and clicking once on the macro. Next go
to File, Save As and change the drop down from Macro to Module. Say Ok and
then Convert. Next close the Macro then go over to Modules on the Objects
bar. You should see one named something like Converted Macro- TheMacroName.
Open it in design mode and post the code here.

Dear Jerry,
thanks for all those hints. I found out somehow my DB was opening on an old
Switchboard, with an old Macro attached, with an old sub form, that no longer
existed. I have no clue as to why this would happen. I am going to print your
response for further trouble shooting.
Thanks again.
