Error Message OnClick

G

Guest

I get the following message on one form with several command buttons that
Open other Forms. The message is:

The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced
the following error: A problem occurred while Microsoft Office Access was
communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.
*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a
user-defined function, or [Event Procedure].
*There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro.

Now, I created the Command Button and used the Wizard to set up the OpenForm
function. It ran perfectly fine, then all of a sudden stopped working. I
have other Forms with other Command Buttons that do the same thing Open up
other Forms, and they're working. Help Please.

If it worked fine and you made no changes it could be a corruption issue.
Make a back up of the database then do a Compact/Repair on it. If that does
not work post the actual VBA code behind the command button for us to see.

I tried Compacting and Repairing it didn't work. Since the code was so
simple, I just deleted the code altogether and the Form itself and did it
again, so far no issues, it's just I'm a contractor here, and I'd hate for
that problem to come up after I'm done here. Thank you though.

I hava had the same problem about 3 times now when creating new command
buttons.
What I did to solve it was the following:

Close your DB
create a new empy DB
Import EVERYTHING from your old DB (tables, forms, queries, modules,
reports,....)
That's it.

I haven't figured out yet why this problem occurs, but this is -for now -
the only way i found how to solve it
