MS Access 2010, Win 7 on a regular form
I didn’t intentionally place any ActiveX or OLE things.. not even sure what they are. But anyways, whenever I put something in the code of a particular form, it says
“The Expression XXXXX you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: A problem occured while MyDB was communicating with the OLE server or Active X Control
Huh? No matter what I put in the form’s code, this happens. I had an empty Form_Current() ONLY which still tripped this. There’s a lot of formatting and work into the form, I’d rather not scrap it.. If I leave the code window completely empty (only Option Compare Database), it does not trip the error; however then my form is useless.
I’ve seen things about this being a language issue, but my other forms (running the same code techniques and most of the same code) are fine and it’s an english Access with an english language PC. Ideas?
Code setting off the error:
Private Sub Form_Current()
End Sub
Seriously.
Check for missing references. Make a back-up, decompile, compact & repair and if that does not work, copy everything to a new db ( http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruptmdbs.htm ) You may have to skip copying the problem form. Sometimes it is worth creating a new form, selecting all the controls from the old form and pasting into the new form.
