Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to change this property or
why I'm getting this message?

"you entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property MaxRecButton"

access help says the button is on the nav. button line, but I don't see it on my form, in design mode when I select show the nav. buttons.

Thanks

Whenever you run any code on a form or report, Access checks ALL the code on the form or report. If you delete a button or other control and don't delete its code, then you may get errors as Access debugs the code.

Check the code for your form and perhaps you will find this button code still there.

Did that help?

That fixed it.
I had some old code that I had commented out, but I guess it was messing something up. I deleted it and I haven't gotten anymore errors.

Thanks again mmcdonal

strong with you, is the Force.

Yeah, you can comment out the code, but if there is a reference like for a button click event and the button is gone, then the form looks for the button. So commenting may not always work unless you comment out the Sub line as well. All lines in the sub.

Slimey? Mudhole? My home this is! Yeeeess.

Well,
 I started getting the MaxRecButton error again.
I changed something, got the error, changed it back exactly like it was before, and I still got the error.
So, I stepped through the code and found that it was working until the very end where it skipped down to the "MsgBox Err.Description" line at the very bottom, which was automatically spawned by Access when I created my OpenReport button. I commented that line out and now it works.
Is commenting that line out bad practice?
