Access 2003 >> Access 2007 (Run-time error 2467)

[lan yu]

Hi.

I'm trying out how our access 2003 applications work in access 2007.
Unfortunately, lots of forms refuse to open. Where the error occures
is Form_Current event, which contains something like

std = "SELECT ....."
Me.Subform_Name![Field Name].RowSource = std

The program reports an error: "Run-time error '2467': The expression
you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist."

Anyone has any ideas how to fix this?

Technically, that shouldn't work in Access 2003 either, but it wasn't quite
as sticky about the syntax.

To refer to a control on a subform, you need to use

Me!NameOfSubformControlOnParent.Form!NameOfControlOnSubform.RowSource

(in case it's not obvious, the difference is the .Form between the subform
control name and the control name)

Note that the name of the subform control on the parent form may be
different than the name of the form being used as the subform.

Doug, thank you for reply.

Unfortunately, it still gives the same error.
I also tried
Me.Controls("NameOfSubformControlOnParent").Form
but it doesn't help.

Are you sure you're using the correct name for the subform control?

Also, is the control in question on the subform a combo box or list box?

Rather than showing fake names, what's the exact code you're trying to use?

Yes, I'm using the correct name. The control name was the same as the
name of the form used as a subform. I changed the control name to be
sure that what I'm addressing is the control.
Right now the control name is: subfUchastki
The source object is:

The control in question is a combobox, but the progrm can't access the
form itself.
When I add watch for Me.subfUchastki.Form, it gives an error ("The
expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't
exist")
The code is as follows:

Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim std As String, kod As Integer
kod = Me. _ _
std = "SELECT [ ], , , ,
, [ ] FROM [ ] WHERE [
] = " & kod & " order by [ ], "
Me.subfUchastki.Form![ ].RowSource = std
Me.subfUchastki.Form![ ].RowSource = std
End Sub

Great. The parts of code that were in Russian didn't show up.

 

[Douglas J. Steele]

Where are you entering that code? In the Current event of the parent form,
or the Current event of the form being used as the subform?

Assuming the Current event of the parent form, it should work. You might try
renaming the controls to non-Russian, just in case that's the issue.

I have a access xp project that runs on about 30 computers (computers that run office xp, office 2003, office 2007 and even office 2010). On my computer I have office 2007. Last week I reinstalled my operating sistem (Windows Vista) and sience than I receive this error: the expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist every time I open a form. Nobody else has this error except me. I updated office, I updated Windows because I hope that the problem will go away, but it didn't.
The line of code that generates the error is

Me.frmCommandes_LG_for_Factures_subform.Form.AllowEdits = True

The form that I trying to open has a subform on it (frmCommandes_LG_for_Factures_subform). I tryed renaming the form and the subform but I still receive this error.

What else should I try?
