Forms won't cycle data

Post by gordclp »

"Found the problem. I am embarassed to say that the forms navigation tool bar was not selected in writer. Thanks to all who puzzled over this."

I am creating forms usning wizard. I want one that will cycle through all the data in my table. I have done this in the past by choosing 'Columnar-Labels Left' arrangement in step 5. However now when I do this I just get the form with the first record. at the bottom it says 'page 1 of 1' with no means to cycle to next line of table. also the controls are greyed. that is I cannot select the button to go to design mode.

I am using oo 2.3.1 with Vista. I even redownloaded oo and rebooted.

Any help is appreciated

I have been using 5-10 entries for now as I experiement with design of my database.
Yes I have allowed modifications, deletions and additions.

I also tried to create the same form using the expample bibliography database provided with oo. I had the same problem.

Thank you.
