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.

Thanks for your reply! Ok, the plot thickens ... 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"?

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? Thanks!

is the DefaultView property of your form set the Single Form, Continuous
Forms, or Datasheet?

It is Single Form. Is that my problem?

Yippee! That was it! 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? THANKS!!!

to move the focus to another form, try using the SelectObject action in your
macro.
