Hi all

On form A there is a button that opens form B

Form B should look like this:

But when I press the button on form A, form B opens and looks like this:

To get the screen to look normal, I actually have to minimize the Access window and then bring it back up?

Anyone know what's up with that?

I am not sure what is going on. Do you have code in the On Open or On Load event of FormB? What about the code that opens the form? What if you open the form, set its visible property to No and then instead of opening it from FormA just set its Visible property to Yes?

It would appear that the form is not finishing 'opening' before something causes it to stop. If you click on Records > Refresh does the form straighten out?

Oh Yeah

I had cmds on the open form button that clashed slightly with the On load cmds of the Form B.

I got rid of them. That fixes that.

Thanks Jack.
