Problem with Find and Replace

D

Donald

I have a form which displays contact information for over 1000 contacts. On
this form, I have placed a command button which when pressed executes a macro
which runs the "Find" Command, opening the Find and Replace box used
throughout the Microsoft Office Suite. From here, you can type in either a
name or ID and retrieve the record which applies.

This works sucessfully. However I do receive the following error message
when opening this form using a Macro to open this form from a main start
page.

Error Message: The Command or action 'Find' isn't available now.

*You may be in a read-only database or an unconverted database from an
earlier version of Microsoft Office Access.
*The Type of object the action applies to isn't currently selected or isn't
in the active view.

Use only those commands and macro actions that are currently available for
this database.

I can't figure out whats wrong here, as it works when I open the form
directly, however when I open the form from the start page, it will not work.


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Donald
