Perhaps you could give us some help here. Access does not natively
have "phone logs". I presume that your phone log is a Table, and that
you're opening a Form?

You can see your Access application. We cannot. What is it that you
are "opening"?

I open an existing phone log in access,

John.....

I have used other data bases like DB2 not access. The user uses
access to log phone calls made by an executive in her firm. When she clicks
her access application it comes up and gives a menu with radio buttons for
selection. One of those selections is to enter a new phone log. Another one
is to choose existing phone log entry. When she clicks the radio button to go
to an existing phone log the radio button takes her to creating new phone log
entry. This is the problem. How can I rectify this problem? I appreciate your
time and effort.

Thank you,
Dev Sammanasu.

Correct the error in the VBA code on this menu. The Menu is evidently an
Access Form; you should be able to open the database holding down the "Shift"
key to bypass the startup code. You can then open the startup form in design
view and investigate the code which is triggered by the button.

If you need help with the code, please open the form in design view; select
each of the two buttons in turn; view their Properties; and click the ... icon
by the Click event (or possibly the AfterUpdate event, I don't know what kind
of control is actually being used), and post the code here.
