what is wrong ?

Answer 1

Hi tekoko10,

can you try to provide a screenshot how form looks when you have buttons and when not.

I think you created like below.

here first I want to confirm with you that you had created it properly or not.

like if we take an example of below.

when I click Top Button Btn1 at that time the button in left are displayed but if I click Btn2 Button will not displayed because I created it in Btn1 tab and there is no button in Btn2.

Answer 2

The form is properly designed. It works perfect and as it should be : with left tabs showing up according to the toplevel tab. For 4 of the 6 users it is perfect , only with 2 of them the left buttons disappear , it is like the resolution of the screen is too low to put everything on it .

Answer 3

So the form that should look like this

looks on some screens like this

Answer 4

Hi tekoko10,

can you tell us what is the resolution of the screen on which buttons are displayed and what is the resolution of the screen on which buttons did not displayed.

here I think that its not a matter of resolution. the reason can be different then this.

if we assume that resolution caused this. did you try to test this after changing the resolution?

if not try it first. I am pretty much sure result will not be changed.

also I want to confirm with you that which version of access all the machine's have.

I try to test with Access 2016 but did not reproduce the issue.

Regards

Hi tekoko,

Did you enable the horizontal Scrollbar (Schuifbalk) of the form?

Imb.

edit: in order to scroll to see the left part.

Answer 6

Also try toggling the form's Auto Resize property to see if that affects it.
