Compile error

[Roy Brandon]

This is code I am trying to adapt from another database since I don't know
enough to write it myself. The point is to add a new line to add a repair
item. I THINK the rub is declaring explicit need to changed. But I don't
have a CLUE to what.
Any help is appreciated.

No, using OPTION EXPLICIT is good coding practice. For one thing, it helps
ensure that you don't mistype variable names.

What you are probably missing is a reference to the DAO library "Microsoft DAO
3.6 Object Library"

You should also change these lines

Dim db As database
Dim rs As Recordset

to

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
