Hello, I am presenting some new modules of my database tomorrow to some important people and now I'm getting these random run time error messages saying "You can't carry out this action at the present time." (runt-time error 2486)

I found an old thread on this same problem but noone seemed to have any answers. If you know what the deal is please help!
thanks
 
one important thing, it seems to only do it on docmd's, but not all docmd's! This is not what I need right now.
 
I tried all solutions I found for 2486 and none of them worked.
It's something about the way that Access initializes the form classes. If you try to docmd.openform or docmd.close on a higher irq object (such as a query) you will get the darn 2486.
The only way you can avoid this is to application.create the object and after you use it then destroy it by docmd.deleteobject, blah, blah
