Pressing any button results in error

[Guest]

Whenever I press any button on my form I get the same error:

"The expression ON CLICK you entered as the event property setting produced
the following error:
Procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure
having the same name."

This started all of the sudden for all of my buttons on this form. I tried
creating a click event with only the procedure name and end sub and got the
same error. I'm dead in the water.

Thoughts?

Hi, Rod.

Whenever I press any button on my form I get the same error:

You have a compile error. To find it, open the VB Editor, then select the
Debug -> Compile <DatabaseName> menu. The compile error will be highlighted.
Ensure that there are no arguments between the parentheses in the
procedure's declaration. For example:

This:

Private Sub DoneBtn_Click()

Not this:

Private Sub DoneBtn_Click(nSomeNum As Long)

I'm dead in the water.

Nah. The compiler will give you a hint where the error is. You just have
to fix whatever is wrong with the syntax on that line.

Hi, Rod.

Come to think of it, there are some built-in procedures in forms that
contain an argument or two that would cause this error if they aren't
correct. For example:

This is correct:

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

This following one will give a compile-time error, because it's missing a
required argument in the declaration:

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate()

So it depends upon which procedure is giving you the problem. If you can't
figure out how to correct the procedure declaration that the compiler
highlights, please post back.
