run time error '28'

[KellyK]

Hi all,

I'm responsible for supporting an Access app that was not developed by me, where the developer is a guy who is no longer with our department. Therefore I have to make a lot of educated guesses as to his logic behind some of the coding. Recently, one of our users constantly gets the error 'out of stack space' whenever she is updating a form. This always occurs at a Private Sub Form_Dirty(Cancel As Integer):
Me.txtUserId = UorCName(1)

Now, the txtUserId already has a default value of = UorCName(1), so to me this Sub is unnecessary and problematic since it is the source of the error. Am I being too simplistic to assume that I can delete this event as long as the default value is set? Or is there some reason to suspect the developer put this event in for a reason that I'm not understanding? I basically am looking for confirmation before I go and delete this event. All opinions are welcomed! Thanks.

Hi,

Why don't you just comment it out with an explanation to document what you did. Skip,

Thanks Skip. I'll do that. I guess I was just concerned that removing/commenting the line might cause problems but if I comment it out at least it'll still be in there as a reminder to me. I appreciate the response.
