oops on opening Form

Hi all, I created a form to open up on startup using a macro. When I starting
working on this a while ago, I was messing around with some controls. A
couple that I put in are causing problems when other people try to open the
DB. They are like Military_time, etc. I think the reason is that they are
from a program that they do not have on thier terminal.

So, how can I get rid of this? I looked into the code view of the form,
couldn't find anything that looks like what the problem is. I also checked
the macro, nothing there.

Any help GREATLY appreciated!

If you're saying that your application uses controls that your users don't
have, you can either get your users to add those controls or you could work
out another way to do what you are trying to do. If you are creating a
deployment, you may, depending on licensing terms, be able to include the
controls as part of the deployment package.

Thanks for the reply Jeff. The controls are actually part of a Search and
Rescue program here. This is for a USCG Sector, so putting the controls on
each one is not feasible unfortunately.

When I made it, it was just going to be for us here in the Command Center
and now it is being deployed to a larger audience.

Is there any way you know of to be get rid of those controls?

Thanks again.

Not sure what you mean by "get rid of". If you have a form with a control
on it that does a job, the form "breaks" if you delete the control, right?
What is the control doing? How to "replace" the functionality will depend
on what the functionality is...

Hi Jeff, it was basically a Automatic Military Time type of button. None of
the controls that are causing problems are needed in the function of my form.

Thanks again.

It sounds like a function that takes a date/time value and displays it as
Military time. You can do (something like) that with formatting (see
"hhnn").

Bring up Access HELP, check on Format, and look at the date/time format
options.
