I have a most curious situation.
My application is using a Navigation Form (Top buttons = Major Area, Left Hand buttons = minor area), and all of a sudden it has stopped working!
All of the forms used as sub-forms in the Navigation Form are also 'available' as independent forms, and they are referenced as the Data/NavigationTargetName. When I run these forms independently, they wall work fine - it's only when I try and use the navigation form that they do not load.
<True Confession Time>
I recently (this very morning) made a change to one of the forms, to show and hide some low-level information in a shared space on the forms. I have two sets of information: Question Styles, and FillOut Rules, which share the same space on a form. (The form deals with the design of a survey, and these are very low level pieces of data, dealing with how questions and responses are presented, and with details of skipping and revisiting a question when the survey is being filled in (or out, as you wish).
There are two buttons: cmdShowStyleInfo and cmdFillOutRules which bring the appropriate nuggets of data to the same place on the screen, and make certain that the 'other' data is hidden. Captions on the buttons change appropriately.
As is my common usage, I developed the capabilities on the form as an independent entity, expecting that it would be incorporated into the Navigation Form as usual.
Here's the confession - I didn't back up the database before starting this.
The additions to the form work fine, but the Navigation Form has totally stopped working. The navigation options appear to work, but none of the sub-forms actually load (even though they are all available, and fully functional outside the Navigation Form).
Has anyone ever seen this before, and does anyone have any ideas?
I'm off to beat my head against my favourite brick-wall for a bit!
