This happens when the Kids (logically) use cut and paste from the first button they draw on the form.

Each Button must be drawn separately and named accordingly to prevent this type of problem

Hi,

 

we are doing Access at the moment and some kids are having problems with the switchboard form.

 

We know how to do it, it just seems that one minute the buttons are working, and the next minute we get all sorts of error messages.  The messages are not helpful in explaining what the problem is.  In fact they make no sense at all, from what I can see. However, some kids sail through the switchboard without a problem, and they are following the exact same procedure.

 

I am not strong in Visual basic, but the error messages seem to relate to a problem when the click event occurs.  It seems to think all the buttons are the same (or have an ambiguous name) even when they are linked to different reports and forms (and the button names are all different and appear to me to be quite sensible).  Is there a limit on the length of the button name or some protocol I am not following?

 

Is there some trick to preventing this, or is it just "Access being difficult"???? Any suggestions greatfully received.

 

regards,
