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.

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

table in the database.

==========

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.

        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.
