Buttons greyed out

[Guest]

I have a user with a strong database, vba background who came to me with this
question. I don't have an answer but maybe someone can help.

He created a form with several command buttons and a combo box. When he
views the form, the command buttons are greyed out and although he can
display the list in the combo box, he can't select an item. When he copies
all controls to another form, everything works fine.

He's looked at his form properties and all seem to be as they should. Any
thoughts?

Hi, Gillian.

If the buttons are greyed out, their Enabled property is likely set to No.
Similarly, if the combo box displays its list, but prevents selection, its
Locked property is likely set to Yes.

Hope that helps.
