Hello
I have a database on Access 2003 - works !
Opended it in 2007 - does not work?
Converted it to 2007 - does not work?

All the forms and tables load okay.
I have a switchboard with command buttons - 'Click' - opens form
All the buttons act disabled, but are enabled in 'Properties'
I have tried everything I can think of, can anyone suggest any way forward
please
Would be much appreicated !

"...does not work" is not particularly informative.

Do you mean:
- the PC freezes up and displays no error message?
- the PC catches fire?
- Access produces an error message ... that says what?

More info, please...

Your database needs to be in a "Trusted Location" for anything with VBA code
in it to work.

Someone in the future may run into the same issue you faced.

If you provide the solution you found, you could be helping that (future)
person...
