Option buttons and tabs

wrote in message

Hi Dirk,

Thank you for your reply. The file, which was mentioned in
the article was already renamed as directed by another
article which recommended to rename 3 files (Acwx*.mde) to
*.old before Sp-3 is installed. Which I did and now when
looked for the acwztool.mde file, there were no new files
created with the *.mde extension. Only the *.old was there.

Still I cut I paste all these files away from the original
folder, and ran the repair. The repair had many error
messages, saying "Error 1328. Error applying patch to file
c:\Config.msi\*.tmp. I clicked Ignore for these.
After the repair I still had the same error when trying to
open the switchboard manager. And the files were not
recreated in the original folder.

I searched the CD for these files and simply copied them to
the original folder.

Now there is no error message when accessing the
switchboard manager, but I still have the very first error
with the original database (Error accessing file...).

I recreated the form in a new database (the one with the
option buttons and tabs) by importing the original tables.

It works fine, however, when adding the switchboard, I can
fill in the necessary information for the switchboard, and
click Close, and there is no Switchboard item in the Forms
object only in the table object and cannot see it when
setting up the Startup option.

I just don't know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for your help,
Aniko

The fact that you still get the "Error accessing file" message on the
original database is only to be expected -- that database is corrupt,
and applying SP3 was not expected to fix it. The error messages during
the Repair bother me, and I don't know if you've successfully fixed
things up or not. Check for missing or broken references in the new
database, in case that's what's wrong there.

I'd hate for you to have to completely uninstall Access, reinstall it,
and then apply the service pack again.

Hi Dirk,

I will keep trying, but I already unistalled and intalled
the whole lot 3 times and run repair 5 or 6 times.

How about the switchboard problem? What is wrong with the
switchboard?
Thanks for your help,
Aniko

Hi Dirk,

Unfortunately, there's a difference between uninstalling and "completely
uninstalling". But let's not plan to go there if we can help it.

That's what I was referring to when I suggested you check for missing or
broken references in the new database. Go into the VB Editor
environment, click Tools - References..., and look for any references
marked MISSING. Follow the procedures Doug Steele outlines he


http://members.rogers.com/douglas.j....nceErrors.html

That may not be the problem, but it's worth trying.

If that doesn't work, and if you can compact and zip your database down
to less than 1MB in size, you may send it to me at the address you get
by removing NO SPAM from the reply-address of this message. I'll have a
look at it, time permitting, and see if it will work for me.

It works :-)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much Dirk, I followed the instructions on the
link you provided. There were no missing references, but I
removed two references allowed and put them back. Now the
switchboard is working!!!!!

Now, I think we can close down this long thread; I we can
start a new one, when I come across some difficulties with
my Access project.

Your time and help was and is and well be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
Aniko
