Dot operator suddenly giving error

[PurpleUnicorn]

I have an application created in Access 2000. This morning I made a minor change to a form (that previously worked) and imported it into my active mdb. I am getting compile errors that are resolved when I change all dots to !. The problem occurred in code that I did not change. Why have the dots suddenly become a problem?

Thanks

Generally, the bang operator (!) is used to seperate an object from a collection it's in, wheras the dot (.) is used to describe a property or method.

You always ahve to use the bang in a parameter query.

Access 2000 translates evrything to quote and paranteses anyway. Tyrone Lumley
