Type mismatch error

[Kevin Bruce]

On a form, I have placed a command button that opens the user's email client
and places the email address from records in a query into the 'To' line. The
process works fine in a copy of the database that I was working in to
develop this, but when imported into the original database I get a 'Type
mismatch error' when I attempt to run it. The highlighted error line is:

"Set recEvents = db.OpenRecordset(strQuery)".

All of the references in the data library are the same in both the copy and
the original.

Any help would be appreciated.

Below is my code for the command button in its entirety.

Thanks.

_Kevin


Private Sub cmdSendEmail_Click()

Me.Refresh

Dim strQuery As String
strQuery = "qryMyQuery"

Dim strTo As String
Dim db As Database
Dim recEvents As Recordset

Set db = CurrentDb()
Set recEvents = db.OpenRecordset(strQuery)


While Not recEvents.EOF
strTo = recEvents("Email") & ";" & strTo
recEvents.MoveNext
Wend

DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , , strTo, , , , , , True

End Sub

Hi, Kevin.

All of the references in the data library are the same in both the copy and
the original.

They may be the same, but the precedence order doesn't match verbatim.
Either change the precedence so that the DAO library is before the ADO
library or change the following line of code so that the Recordset variable
is disambiguated:

Dim recEvents As Recordset

to:

Dim recEvents As DAO.Recordset

HTH.

Thanks for the quick response. I had no idea that there was an order of
precedence among the various libraries. Very useful to know.
