[Year 12 IT Apps] problems with access switchboard

[Allan Barnes]

Janet, there have been a lot of issues with VB 6 and Access. Don’t know what
versions you are using, but something to be aware of.

 

 

 

 

Kind regards

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] problems with access switchboard

 

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,

 

Janet Bane
