Event working on form but not on Navigation Form

[bnecrush]

I have put a check box on a form that when clicked previews the report for that record. When I perform this on the form it works fine but when I go to the Navigation Page and try it it says "Enter Parameter Value". Why would it work on the form but not on the navigation form? I have tried it several times on both with the same results.

Thanks, your explanation helps too. I am guessing that your book helps a ton too! That will be the next thing I do, order your book "Microsoft Access 2010 Inside Out". Thanks Again!

Hello,

I have similar issue with my forms in Navigation tab form. I googled the issue but couldn't come up with similar issues until I saw this correspondence. So one issue so far is that I have a form that looks like datasheet (without being actual datasheet view of form), just like Microsoft has example of datasheet called “Student” and it’s “Student List” form. When I created Navigation tab form and input the “Student List” to the tab, it changes to vertical forms. How can I fix it so that the “Student List” form will look as is under Navigation tab form? The second issue is that I have a button on “Student List” form and it works but it doesn’t work when the form is under Navigation tab form. It gives me an error saying “The command or action ‘UnhideColumns’ isn’t available now. *You may be in a read-only database or an unconverted database from an earlier version of Microsoft Access. *The type of object the action applies to isn’t currently selected or isn’t in the active view. Use only those commands and macro actions that are currently available for this batabase.”. The embedded Macro for this is “RunMenuCommand – Command UnhideColumns”. Please assist. Thank you for your time.
