Startup Form

I have multiple Front ends set up on a shared drive, all totally different for each of the multiple tests we are running. I created all of the front ends and I have no problems, but everyone else on my team that opens the same Front end, none of the Command buttons are working for them. I have one Main form that I use the Tools/Startup/[Test Main Form Name], so when they open each test it pops up the Form to get them started on what to do for each test, however everyone has said they have the same problem and have to close the form and re-open it to get the Command Buttons to work. Is there a reason why it is doing this and is there a way to enable the command buttons when they open it?

Thanks,

Matt

Matt it sounds as though you need the Database in a Shared Folder, someone having Administration rights and others just shared permissions. If this doesn't help then within the form you can set commands on the On Open Events to do something like this:

cmdButton1.Enabled=True
cmdButton2.Enabled=True

etc

This can be done on the form itself as it opens.

Enjoy
