Unresponsive forms when transferring to another computer

I've built an Access database where everything appears to be working just as expected. Then when I transfer the database to the end user, all of my forms with the exception of any form that contains a sub form will become unresponsive on the end users computer.

The strange thing that I’ve found is that once the database is transferred to the end users computer and I go into the form properties under design view, and toggle any one of the property values, then the form will subsequently open like normal and as expected.

Has anyone had any experience or seen this issue occur while developing access databases? I'd hate to send over this database to the end user, and have to go in to tweak properties just to get the forms to launch. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
I cannot understand what the problem is. But since your application deals with Access database (mdb), check if the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) is installed on target machine. Go to Microsoft site if you need this component.

Hope this helps.
 
ccscott,
sounds l;ike your in the wrong forum. Try one of the Access forums for better help. This forum deals with visual basic.net.

One thing to check, is what permissions do the folders on the client pc?
