Resetting automatic wizards

M

Mike Gould

Hi all!

Somehow in my mucking around with Access, the automatic wizards that kick in
when you add a button no longer seem to work.

Can anyone please tell me how to reactivate the wizards?

Thanks!

Folks here just love it when you cross post to every newsgroup you can find.
Maybe you can find a few more to post to and really make everyone happy.

Ahh, I am glad the user community here is mostly polite. Most of the time I
get good help here.

I admit that modulescoding was probably a stretch, but most of these had a
semi rational logic in being chosen for possible answers - at least I did
not select all the access-related groups.

I am not selling something, nor am I posting off topic issues. Your
response was unjustified.

Bottom line: if you cannot help, then please don't hinder.

Thank you.

I thought that shotgun posting was to be discouraged. Guess I was wrong.

Cross posting (within reason) is ok. Multi-posting (separate posts with the
same question) is frowned upon. The OP did it right.

You're neither right nor wrong, Randy. Crossposting to a
very few groups is acceptable, as opposed to mulitposting,
which is rarely appropriate. However crossposting to four
groups is almost always excessive, especially for a simple
UI question.

Because the OP (original poster) may not be aware of the
complexity (or lack thereof) of their problem, giving the
benefit of the doubt by providing an answer to the question
along with an admonishment about the number of groups is
probably sufficient to getting the point across.

Well, I got a good education on the etiquette of these newsgroups.

I was rather embarrassed that the answer came down to a simple button (but
that is often how it goes with tech support). I wasn't sure if it was not
some sort of reghack or obscure advanced setting that I did not find when I
checked Options. Had I been a little less sleep-deprived, I would have
posted to the general, setupconfig and forms, and excluded any of the coding
groups.

I understood Randy's response, as I know what it is like to deal with obtuse
support clients. I took issue with the overall tone of his response.
Unlike bulletin boards with sticky category capability, there isn't a posted
code of conduct in newsgroups that cover the finer points like the
distinctions between cross-posting and multiposting. All an infrequent to
noob user wants is to get their problem resolved.

Had I been a regular poster, however, I might have justifiably been on my
way to a smacked bottom.

Thanks for the schooling, all!

It's OK Mike, we've all got to learn sooner or later.

In the interests of making it sooner ;-)
