Pivot Table Form not allowing Layout Edits

I'm developing a database using Access 2002 (XP), SP3, (10.6771.6817). I have created a form with a Pivot Table, and when reviewing it in my computer, everything is working ok (using Win XP SP2 English). But when I show that database in a Spanish Access version (10.4302.6714), he can open the form, but he do not have any context menu item enabled. Everything in the form's context menu is disabled. He can create another Pivot Table from the same query, but again, he can not move or edit fields, nor showing the field list. He tried the database in 2 different computers with the same result. When he selects the menu "PivotTable ", only "Refresh" is enabled, and in my computer, everything is enabled.

The database is not "read only", nor the file itself.

I've tried Google with many kewords, but without any luck.

What could be happening? Any comment would be appreciated.

Check the references on the "error machine".

Open some VBA code (e.g. by pressing [CTRL+G]) and select Tools/References.
Each libraryname starting with "MISSING" must be unchecked and (e.g. microsoft DAO version x.xx) replaced when necessary.

As access doesn't cleanup added libraries, often unnecessary refenreces are present.
Just delete as many as possible without getting an error executing "Debug/compile all modules"

Thanks for your reply! I've checked it a couple of minutes ago and no, there are no MISSING components.

Any other suggestion? A "locked" form?

Is there a way to lock the Pivot Table, make it "read only"? I mean, if that could be happening, making it otherwise would be the solution...

Hmm, strange, looks like the Spanish database regards the database like a read-only one from an older Access version.
Did you try to use the "Database/Convert to" to create a working version. (e.g. first make it A2000 format and then back to A2002/3

I know of trouble when you go from a "language version" to an English version, but never found trouble the other way around...

Well, I made a mistake in my first post. I developed the database in a Spanish OS, using an English version of Access 2002. Could it be the issue? I really don't know how could that affect the database anyway...

When you use a reference to a form in the query criteria it will not "translate" .
I have a dutch version and when entering:
forms!formname! fieldname
this gets converted to:
formulieren!for mname!fieldname

In the US version this will give a crash for an unknown field "formuliere n" :-)

So I develop always in a US version....

Ok, so I developed in a US version, but I need to execute the form in a Spanish version. But I don't think it is the issue, because he could make another Form, poining to the same query, and it gives him the same error: he cannot move or change anything in the Pivot Table except for Refreshing it...

Start with creating a new fresh database, import the table and check again.
That way we can check or the Access application does work properly.

Well, I did that yesterday and it did not change the error a bit.

What else could you think of?

Ok. I upgraded to MS Access 2003 recently and now I am having great heartache. In Access 2002, when I opened a table to view the data, there were wonderful little "plus" signs that I could click on for each record that would open up the corresponding record in any linked table. I could drill down and edit/add records in a most efficient and simple manner. In Access 2003, this is GONE! ARGHH!

I'm just getting around to using pivot tables and charts. I find the Pivot table interface to be INCREDIBLY frustrating.

How do you get RID of a field once you put it in? I can not right click on anywhere in the view and have ANY of the submenu options be availble. From the PivotTable...

I've got something called "Reference Rates". The idea is that on a given day, we have various rates of return for various entities. e.g. Libor 3-month return, Libor 6-month return, US Treasury Bonds, the Prime rate, and so-forth. We associate a security with one of those rates. There are a set of rates for each calendar day, and the rates for that

HI, I have a pivot table form that pulls multiple query results. The major issue is that each section, once clicked on has many lines that are not visible unless the scroll bar (which appears when clicked on) is used. I need a view for users to be able to see all pivot table items at once, as well as print all. Please help!! Thanks, Kori

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
