EXP Systems Forum: Form View Disabled in Access demo + Solution

Message

   When I first started experimenting with the MS_Access_Sample_VBA_Code database (v2.2.6), I was puzzled why after looking at the Design View of frmMain I could not then go back to Form View because the option was disabled (greyed out).

If you encounter the same problem, the solution is to go into Form Design View - Format tab and set:
Allow Form View to Yes
Allow Pivot Chart View to No

Save the form and you can now easily switch between design view and form view
