Access Tab Form question

L

LaurenM

I have a user who has an issue using a subform embedded in a tabbed form.
Whenever this user goes to make a choice from a combo box in the embedded
subform, all he sees is a big white box where the subform should be. Whenever
I go into the form, I see the combo box with no problem and I can make my
choices. He usually accesses this form via Citrix Program Neighborhood but I
had him go to the database copy on our network and he is still having the
same issue. I have been able to recreate the issue sometimes but not
everytime.

We are sharing files on a Windows 2003 server and the application my user is
using in Office XP. I was able to recreate it a couple of times using Office
2003. Both the user and I have Windows XP. I know he has the security set up
to modify the tables but still no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions on
what this might be and what I might do to solve this?

Thanks!
Lauren

Is the form he is using that is on the Citrix box the same one that everone
else is using? If it is exactly the same app that works when you use it and
it doesn't work over Citrix it is a Citrix web client or other issue.
May well be something to do with the version and patch level of Access on
the server.

You are asking for serious corruption problems by sharing a front-end. Split
your database into tables with data on a back-end and everything else on a
front-end, linked to the back-end. Place a separate copy of the front-end
onto each user's workstation, or if using Citrix or Terminal Server, use a
separate folder for each user with a copy of the front-end in each folder.
