We have been using an Access form that you can double click on the results and it opens up another form "FRM_EDIT". I have about 5 computers that use the same thing and haven't had any trouble. Recently we got two more PCs and neither of them do anything when you double click to open the next form. This is the code that I believe is supposed to generate the double click to open "FRM_EDIT".

Private Sub lstViewResults_DblClick()
If IsNull(Me.lstViewResults.SelectedItem) Then Exit Sub
DoCmd.OpenForm "FRM_EDIT", acNormal, ,"[Document Number] = '" & Me.lstViewResults.SelectedItem &"'"
End Sub

Thank you!
 
Still sounds like macros are not enabled on their computer (or as noted above anti-virus is interfering, which amounts to the same thing).

Excel Facts

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
I had this happen to me last year, never got to the exact reason, however I believed it to be due to corruption in the forms code. It worked on some machines but not on others.

I fixed it by -
deleting all the code from that form and saving it.
compacting and repairing the DB
decompiling the DB
adding the code back in to the form
compiling the DB
compacting and repairing again


If you have never decompiled your database - click on Start, Run and enter: msaccess.exe /decompile

Then select the database to decompile and hold shift to bypass startup form or code.

So I have tried a couple additional things and still no success. I changed double-click to single click, verified that my computer now opens the entry with single click, their computer still doesn't do anything. I also put in a pop-up box that pops up when the double click event is kicked off and it worked on mine, but not the new computer again.
This is what makes it sound like macros aren't working at all.

I've verified they are enabled and other macros are working.
How did you do that?
