Exporting DB causes input ability to disappear?

[HMJ]

We have developed an Access application with a frontend and a backend. The application works great - until we send it to another site for use. Of course, they have to relink the frontend and backend once it is installed - no problem there.

However, the new user is not able to input new records - the "arrow and star" are grayed out - using the forms in the frontend. I have looked at all the places I know of where inputing new records could be blocked, but can't find anything. Need I say that this feature works fine here where the application was developed.

Anyone able to give me an idea?

THANKS.

You didn't send it on a cd did you?

Nope, no CD. We zipped the DB and then sent it over the network to the distant server. (This was a direct transfer, not an email.) The file was unzipped, and the rest is history.

Any ideas?

No messages on start-up?

Everything appears normal. No error or alert messages.

I had one person - a local user who I know - tell me that it happend to them and they had to go in and recreate each query, form and report before this problem disappeared. There must be an easier way.
