Has anyone else seen this problem? We use SourceSafe and in converting an app to XP and sharing modules from other XP projects in VSS, I've discovered that two routines in different standard modules, both declared public, may NOT cause a compile error in the project. If the only calls to that routine are in property sheets (i.e., =MyFunction()), the ambiguous name error won't turn up until you happen to use an object with that routine call from its property. If the routine is called in an event procedure, the syntax checking seems to work, but not with a direct call. I personally don't use the latter technique, but some of our forms have been around a long time and other developers have used that technique to create lighter weight forms. I dont' remember running into this in previous versions of Access, but it's been awhile. Even if the project is compacted out of VSS, it will still compile and then throw an error when an object that calls the ambiguous routine is opened. Charlotte Foust
