Command Buttons don't work correctly

[pkcarol]

In the textbook we are using this summer (post secondary technical instructor here) the students are to set up a switchboard and use the buttons to print preview various reports. Maybe there is something wrong with my Access program, but I keep getting an error message about ambiguous name . . . You are not directed to create a macro. Just use record operations, print preview . . . etc. Can someone help me figure out why this is not working. Thanks.

If you post the code behind the buttons and explain exactly what is happening, perhaps someone will be able to answer your question more easily.

I do not know if I can help you because I do not understand your problem.

Try again, teacher!

There are only two rules for success: (1) Never tell everything you know.

My students always get that problem. They attempted to create the buttons more than once giving it the same name based on the same event. VB nor VBA allows for buplicate control names on the same form/dialog. Press Alt+F11 to get the VBE and remove one of the event procedures

Sub CmdClose_Click()

'code goes here

End Sub
'*************************************
Sub CmdClose_Click()

'code goes here

End Sub


The above example is not allowed.

God Bless!
