Dear Dan, Sounds like you are having the same experience that I am having. What have you tried? Is a greyed out button possibly an undocumented feature that is Being activated inadvertently?

This has been discussed and reported before,not only by myself but others on the list. I am running a single table dispatching form that is open all day that calls up various eeps/forms etc but they all return to that same form. Occasionally one of the buttons (there are 15 buttons, and 120 clickable variable fields) will grey out and is no longer clickable. The button that greys out could be any of the 15. None of the buttons has to do with other tables. This is sporatic, and cannot be duplicated, yet happens at least once a week to my assistant and I. It has happend in as many versions as I can remember. The only way to get the button to work is to close and reopen the form. Wish I could be more help in replicating it on a consistant basis, if I could I would send it in.
