In my form, when I open it, I get the following messages.

The expression On Load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: A problem occured while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.

Also happen On Click, and once I'm in the form and try to navigate or print button I keep getting the same message............What did I do wrong, I've been making form for years?


Thanks Gary

well, the error message said that it's in the onLoad function...

and in the onLoad function, all you have is Call WinName

so maybe it's a problem with the WinName function, which I presume is a custom function you created...

I get the error even after the form is open, each time I navigate to the next record it give me that message but instead of saying "The expression On Load", it says "On Click". Could the code be to confusing?

Are any controls on your form bound to OLE object fields? (Check the field definitions for 'OLE object' in the underlying tables.) If so, the OLE server may not be installed or registered on your machine, or you may perhaps have a different and incompatible OLE server registered for the type of data stored in the field.

Also check for broken References (Tools menu in VBE; look for a line with MISSING: before the library name).

If these are no help, try single stepping through the Current event procedure (if you have one) to see if the error occurs in your code or in Access/VB code.

Hi,
I can't find
Private Sub carfrom_AfterUpdate()
Call FiveSec
End Sub
what is that?
The WinName function must be a custom made one. May be that creates problem as Crowley16 said.
For a good function check this link

For error checking remove the functions and add again one by one. It is easy to find which function is troubling you.

Wow I just have to say this is alotta code. Why don't you just have this info in a table? Seems like it'd be easier to maintain.
Also it'd be a good idea to name your form controls something other than the default names Access gives them when you create them, like combo98 and text212. Giving them more descriptive names can help a lot.

That being said...

As for function WinName, I see you have this:

Public Function WinName()
Me.username = GetWindowsUserName
End Function

ONce you call this, the function doesn't know what "ME" is cause you're no longer on a form.
Usually a function returns something.
Usually you'd have something in your code like

me.username = WinName

and the code for WinName would be

Public Function WinName()
WinName = GetWindowsUserName
End Function

Actually I don't even really see the sense in the WinName function only just calling another function. YOu could just as well have:

me.username = GetWindowsUserName

Hope this helps.

Herd, just to digress slightly, as Ginger intimated, with all due respect, your code could be reduced dramatically.

With all due respect to Ginger also, sometimes I'll keep my control names with a text value, so iteration is easier.
(not necessarily in this case though...

Dim sLetter As String(1)

Select Case Me.UserName
Case "Larsong" Or "dohertyj" :sLetter = "X"
Case "buckc" Or "demackd" Or "koernerg" Or "pascuaf" :sLetter = "M"
Case "combsc" Or "hartmand" Or "matyg" Or "peraud" :sLetter = "E"
Case "felicia" Or "petrob" Or tellesa" :sLetter = "O"
Case "hansonr" Or "abramd" Or "martinm" Or "slinkarj" :sLetter = "L"
.....
End Select

Me.Text243 = "RMQ" & sLetter

same idea, for a few of your other functions.




Numerals for control names (as Stated above...


Dim x As Integer, y As integer, z As Integer

If Me.Text159 = "DD 250" Then

For x = 100 to 184 'making up numbers here..
Me("Text" & x).Visible = False
Next x

For y = 168 To 298
Me("Label" & y).Visible = False
Next y

For z = 121 To 234
Me("Check" & z).Visible = False
Next z

ElseIf Me.Text159 = "FIN 345" Then
...


Just some ideas, hope you dont mind...

Good luck either way!
