I posted this but got 1 response in which the person did not tell me 

exactly what to do.

Whenever I click the command button or any enent that has a Sub Procedure 

attached to it I get the error below.



I tried Microsoft Help but cant find a solution...probably I am not 

looking at the right place.  I also uninstall Office and reinstalled it 

but that did not solve the problem.



Now I am stuck and cannot do anything in Access that involves any Sub 

Procedure I create.



Thanks for any Help

The Error Mesage:



The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced 

the following error:  A problem occured while Microsoft Access was 

communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.



The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-

defined function, or [Event Procedure].



There may have been a error evaluating the function,event or macro.

Howard,



It is worth checking your references to see if any are shown as "MISSING" as

it is an oddity of VB and VBA that if ANY reference is missing or broken you

may well get an error message stating "Can't find project or library" OR " A

problem occured while Microsoft Access was

communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control" for

one of the references that is actually NOT missing!
