Control Wizard on Subform

Thomas Corbett

My control Wizard is not working in the design controls. I am not trying to use it on a sub-form and the "Use Control Wizards" is chosen. Any solutions?

You can't use the control wizards on SUBFORMS. You have to open the form up by itself. Limitation of Access. I never knew this myself either (because I don't use the wizards unless I'm teaching them). But after a little research, it appears this is the case. I just learned something too!

I am not using it on Sub-Forms. I even started a new database and brought everything in and it still didn't work :(

I'm sorry. I misread your original question. That's weird. Assuming you have it turned ON, you may need to reinstall Office if it's not coming up.

Thats my thought :(

This same thing happened to me a few days ago. I never did figure it out that day but the next day the wizards worked again. I did shut down that day and started back up the next morning.

Luckily I save a previous copy in cyber space, I was just hoping for a logical reason for it
