recuring compilation errors after conversion of Access 2.0 to Aces

[Guest]

Hi everybody.
After converting access 2.0 to access 97 and after successfully compiling
and saving all modules, I still get compilation errors almost each time I
touch the code.

The compilation errors range from outright ' The program has countered a
problem and needs to shut down' to the milder reference problems: Suddenly a
one-minute-before-successfully compiled code, does not recognize some
controls on a form (me.myCtlName doesn't show on the list) or a reference to
a public function such as form_myFrom.myCtl_afterAupdate suddenly loses its
reference when compiling.

Usually, if I decompile and then again saves all modules, it 'comes back to
life'.

also, if I rename the form and then rename it back, it also fixes the
problem until it occurs again.

I have also imported all the database objects into a new database but the
problem persists.

thanks,

Jay

If decompiling/recompiling and importing into a new empty database doesn't
work, you have basically done all you can. If it happens consistently with a
single form, recreate that form. If it is more general, try using SaveAsText
LoadFromText:
