Cannot get Design View on a form
Hello,
On one particular form in my database I cannot get Design View to pull up the form. Other forms I can get Design View fine. When I click on this form and hit the Design button, nothing happens. I am stumped as to why I can design other forms but not this one. Thanks, Kent |

Has User Level Security been implemented on the database? If so, has this

I have tried what you describe below and the same issue happens with the
form. I have also run compact and repair to no avail. I am thinking since I can open the form in design mode on a different computer it might be a MS Office issue.

ULS has not been implemented on this DB, the only settings in that option
list is for admins and they have full access to all objects. "Lynn Trapp" wrote: Has User Level Security been implemented on the database?
