Swapping in the report fixed the problem of the buttons on the form? Odder and odder. I long ago gave up trying to understand Access internally and treated it as a block box. If the correct light on one side of the box lighted when I pressed the right button on the other side, that was enough for me. :) R -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Brad Marks Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2013 2:36 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Access 2007 Report - Buttons Quit Working Rocky, Here is what I did... (1) Deleted the wayward Report from the "Primary" accdb file. (2) Copied the report from a backup copy of the accdb file and pasted it into the Primary accdb file. This fixed the problem. However, I have never seen this problem occur before and I would like to better understand what I did to cause it.

It appears that all of the original buttons are messed up, but new ones work fine.

What happens if you create a new button and try to create an on-click event?

I did as you suggested. The results were the same as before. When the VBA window is opened, I do NOT see something like... ~~~~~~~ Private Sub Command99_Click() End Sub ~~~~~~~~ But instead I see ~~~~~~~ Option Compare Database Option Explicit ~~~~~~~ This problem occurs on all original buttons on the report. If I add a new button, things work properly. Thanks again for your ideas and help.

Then go to the Events tab on the property sheet and follow the rest of my suggestion. Events Tab-->On Click Event-->Drop down combo box and select [Event Procedure]--->click builder button to the right (button with the three dots). Then it will flip to the VBA page and you'll see the Private Sub and End Sub lines. Paste your copied code in there.

I followed the steps that you suggested. When I Right Click on one of the buttons, select "Build Event", then select "Code Builder" the VBA Window is opened. The catch is that normally it would open up to something like this ... Private Sub Command99_Click() End Sub However, when the VBA Window is opened, it shows Option Compare Database Option Explicit Which is at the top of the heap. I added a brand new button and things worked nicely. It appears that I have a very messed up report. I deleted the Report and then copied it in from a backup copy of the accdb file. This fixed the problem with the buttons. I am still puzzled about this problem because I have not worked with this report for many weeks. I guess that I may have angered the "Access Report gods" :-) Thanks again for your ideas and insights.

Display the property sheet for the button (right click button, select Properties)-->Events Tab-->On Click Event-->Drop down combo box and select [Event Procedure]--->click builder button to the right (button with the three dots). Then it will flip to the VBA page and you'll see the Private Sub and End Sub lines. Paste your copied code in there.

When I try to recreate the code, the VBA editor is opened, but it is not showing the buttons Click event but it is showing code for another button. I am not sure how things work behind the scenes, but it appears that the "links" between the buttons on the report and the VBA code are messed up. Thanks for your help.
