Hi all,

The first form that comes up on my app has an On Load event. but when my app starts i get an error msg saying :

"The expression On Load you entered as the event property setting produced the following error : Variable Not Defined

* 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 an error evaluating the function, event, or macro
--------
I dont understand this as it was all working fine when i last closed it???

any help or explanation would be much appreciated

thankyou

I think it might have something to do with the fact that in my VBA Window the property section is empty even when i click on a form to add code?????

how do i get my properties back?

Ok.... all ok now, but i have no idea what i did. everything seems to be working fine again. but if anyone has any idea why it did it in the first place i would still like to know

cheers

Access is not very rigorous about how it passes error messages. If there is ANY code on the form where Access does not understand any word or thing you typed, it will through this error, even though the On Load event was not the source of the bad code.

So if you had a button on the form, wrote some code for it, then deleted the button, you have to delete the code for its events as well, or you will get a similar error the first time ANY event fires on the form.

Access checks ALL the code associated with an object when ANY code is run on the object.
