I have a Command button on a Word macro enabled template which has always worked fine to link to a current Data Source (which has been exported from Access) and merge letters. Something I use on a number of databases without any problems.
However, without any apparent reason, now when the user opens the Word document the command button is not visible. When I go to Design View it is there with the code but disappears when returning to Form view.
I have the formatting set to Hidden so that it does not display on the merged letters but removing this makes not difference and I cannot see anything in Properties which would be hiding the button.
Great, thanks Simon. We have performed the steps and that has sorted the problem so are very grateful to you for posting these articles. Although our problem wasn't actually listed as a symptom it was clearly caused by the same issue.
