SYMPTOMS

When trying to use the AutoForm or AutoReport Wizard tools located on the Standard toolbar, you find that they are disabled and non-functional. Whether or not tables, databases, projects, forms, or reports are open, these tools remain non-functional.

CAUSE

The Autoform and Autoreport icons are enabled when you select a table in a database in the project manager. They are not available otherwise.

RESOLUTION

To enable the Autoform and Autoreport feature, open a database, and select a table in the database.

WORKAROUND

You can also invoke the Form Wizard in one of these ways:

On the File menu click Form, and then click the Wizard button.
On the Tools menu, click Wizards, and then click Form.
In the Command window, type:
```
      DO (_WIZARD) WITH 'FORM'
						
```

Invoke the Report Wizard in one of these ways:

On the File menu, click Report, and then click the Wizard button.
On the Tools menu, click Wizards, and then click Report.
In the Command window, type:
```
   DO (_WIZARD) WITH 'REPORT'
```

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
