Rocky,

I had this issue when using Active X controls on a form (calendar control to be precise), the only viable and reliable solution I found was to ditch the Active X controls entirely and use a different approach.  Although that said, there seems to be a few underlying causes for this error, so it may not be applicable to your situation.

Cheers
Darryl.
