SHORT:
So, the title pretty much says it all; I have a subform in continuous mode, each one having a command button to activate "that" item. Whenever I make a programmatic change to the command button's properties, it disappears entirely and never comes back without completely closing the form.
LONG:
The subform is sort of a "homemade" switchboard, in as much as that functionality seems to have been removed from Access 2013. (It uses a subform that displays records based on a query filter, rather than the old-style hard-coded command buttons with left-aligned labels.) I want to be able to edit these items by clicking a command button in the (sub)form header, which will shrink the "Open" command button (100% of each continuous item's width and height) down to a little box on the left that covers only the line item's icon, instead of the whole line. Then, some additional textboxes (for editing) are displayed.
When I click my mode-switching command button, all of the textboxes appear and disappear just fine; however, the command button, as said above, vanishes and never returns. It doesn't just become "transparent" — it vanishes completely: not see-able, not click-able, even if I only edited a property like "Width." And it doesn't come back until the form is completely closed and reopened.
Any thoughts on why this is happening?
