Well, hopefully it is just something stupid I am doing, but what a right PITA Access 2007 is to develop in. So much of it is just plain annoying. Today's major whinge is pasting in an image (say JPG) and trying to create a click event on it and.... Well, nothing happens. You can create the event without bother, but clicking on the image does not trigger the event. Apparently this was a known bug on tabbed forms but was fixed in SP1 (we are running SP2 on W7 Ultimate OS). If I create a picture object using the ribbon the click event works. Well that sounds fine and dandy, but doing that screws up the image quality. Suddenly the image goes from being sharp and crisp to a splodgy mess. So I can have a pig ugly image with a click event that works, or a nice sharp and clean image that does nothing! Why can I do this in A2003 seamlessly and consistently without any issues and in A2007 nearly everything is just designed to irritated the cr at p out of you??? How did they get it soooo wrong and make the most basic tasks more time consuming and less functional. Heads should roll I say. Sorry for the rant, late in the day here and a simple little form is now turning into a pain. I would love someone to come back and make me look like a complete dill "You need to set the click parameter to true" and it will work fine. Please... Anyone? Cheers Darryl
