You can't assign a value to this object

[Guest]

All of a sudden I am getting this error trying to run any database I have on
my PC. I also get a
runtime error '-2147417848 (80010108)':
Method 'SetFocus' of Object'_CommandButton' failed

I thought my database was corrupted and tried opening a brand new template
to start over and the blank template with no data entered gives me the same
error..any suggestions would be helpful...

MD:

Thanks to your question, I have just learned that the runtime error
numbers (-2147417848) are not unique. The number apparently is used to
signify a class of errors and we need the error description to home in on the
problem. Facinating.
Anyway, the words "Method 'SetFocus' of Object'_CommandButton' failed"
indicate that some program code (whether written by someone in VBA or as part
of Access) is attempting to select a command button on whatever form you're
using and that button is disabled. So, the software code is in conflict with
the form. Do you get the error when a form is opened? Does the form open
okay but you die when trying to enter data? Do you get some data in but
cannot TAB across to another field? What buttons are there on the form? If
you're using a default or standard template, it could have a problem. Have
you recently upgraded Access and what version (2000, 2002, 2003) are you
using? Are you the designer of the form?

I have Access 2003 and this applies to any DB I try to open on my PC. I can
download a tmeplate from the Microsoft website and try tp open it and get the
same errors. It will not open anything. Once you ok the errors it will
close out the DB your trying to open. I have some that were working fine
until some point yesterday and now I get the same errors on them. I am not
the author of these DB's. I haven't recently upgraded either. So I am
stumped as to the cause or resolution

I am getting this error also on every db I try except the Northwind sample.
I downloaded several off the MS website and I am getting the error. I can
run this on my notebook, but not my desktop. I did a reinstall of the
software to make sure I did not have any corrupted files.

thanks
