Command Buttons on Touch Screen

I created a database on a desk top computer, I created a switchboard within this database.  From this switchboard I open a Report that has several Command Buttons that open forms within the same database. 

I’ve opened this database in a touch screen Tablet (same operating system and Access version 2007) and the database switchboard command button work fine (switching from switchboards) with the touch screen, but the command buttons on the Report do not work.  To command button is highlighted but no action (DoCmd.OpenForm "Pre-Op Data Entry") is performed.

Report details

I have an [Event Procedure] on the “On Click” Property that reads

 DoCmd.OpenForm "Pre-Op Data Entry"

    The command buttons on the “Report” is opening a particular “Form”.  I was able to create command buttons using a [Embedded Macro] on the “On Click” property that works fine.

    Are you opening your report with the View argument set to acViewReport? That should work, whereas acViewPreview most certainly will not.
