I bet you are trying to address the subform directly in the Forms collection, as in “Forms!formname”, etc.

A subform is NOT an open form! That is, it is not in Forms collection. YOu must access it via the subform control on the mainform. So it would be like this:
Forms!MainformName!subformControlName.Form…..etc.

Well, I’m sure they must have been hacked, because Microsoft doesn’t mess-up! Just ask them. I was at recent XP launch event, and noticed that MS people referred several times to “when your PC crashes”, but NEVER said “when Windows crashes”.

You could try using the DoEvents() function. Put it as first line in your Exit button code. Sometimes it helps.

See my response to Tom’s post. MSKB lists the article, but when I select it to display, that’s when I get the “page not found”. And I can’t figure out how to tell Microsoft!

BTW, what is that little red symbol with an ‘M’ in it next to your name?

Did you actually try to call-up the document, or did you just see it in the list of search results? Searching for Q261000 produced a search list with the document on it, but selecting the document from the list is when I get the “page not found”

Embedded graphics can be a big problem as far a space goes. Such as background pictures in forms, logos in reports, etc. Rather than embedding, you could link to the files on disk (although this becomes a problem if they aren’t where you expect them to be, which often happens with multiple sites). Or, you can load them into a table in your database, and get them when needed.

Thanks for the info on autocorrect, I’d never heard of that being a problem. As for subdatasheets, is that a problem only if you use datasheets? (Personally, I never use them; I always use a continuous form). I tried to access that article Q261000 in MSKB that you mentioned in another post, but that link appears to be broken (I even went to MSKB site and tried to get it).

Actually, I don’t have any problem with A2000, because I never upgraded to it! On the Access forum in Compuserve, however, one of the most frequent questions we get is from people who upgraded to A2000 and have immediate performance problems. Another frequent questions is “Why is A2000 Help so bad?”; I know of some people who keep A97 open while working on A2000, merely so they can switch to it to use Help!

I’m guessing you have a controlsource for that control which contains a function. This essentially makes that control “read-only”.
