[AccessD] SAVING DATA ON FORM

Do you have an "IF" statement in the opening form/report's query criteria?
If so, is it working correctly?
Just out of curiosity, why do you have hidden controls on the main form?

Jim,
txtID is going to be a state abbreviation after the user makes a selection,
like  NC, FL, MA, etc.
As a default, I am trying to put   *  in it until the user makes his choice.
 
I tried changing  strID to Integer, as you suggested, and set it equal to
2.  It worked fine up until
the     "  Forms!frmMain!txtID = strID  "    statement, when it failed as
before. 
 
And don't stop giving me things to try, I've exhausted my list!
 
TIA
Welford

What data is txtID matched with?
Yep, same problem I had.  The form I was opening, couldn't use the data.
The control was text, I was feeding it text, the form I was opening was
using numeric.
Two other thoughts.
1.  Check the object of the form/report your opening.  Check its data type.
2.  As a test -- change As String to As Integer and see what happens.
 
I know, I sound like a broken record... but I spent way too much time
(hours) running through a similar problem.
 
I'll keep quiet now.
 
Jim

Jim,
Thanks for taking time to reply.  However, they are text boxes.
For testing, I have pared the code down to this :
    
    Dim strID        As String
    strID = "*"
    Forms!frmMain!txtID = strID
 
which fails as I described.
Any other ideas?
 
Thanks,
Welford

Check the data type for your "hidden text boxes."
I spent a lot of time tracking down the same thing recently.  I was trying
to pass a text value to the query, when in fact it was numeric!

I have a Main form from which I call numerous other forms and reports.
I have a number of hidden text boxes on this form which I use to pass data
between
other forms and to reports.  I have done this in dozens of applications.
But this week
it won't work!  I get :  "Run-time error '438'    Object doesn't support
this property or method"
 
I am using Access 2000 with all the latest revs applied.  I have tried all
kinds of changes to
try to get around this error, including using a class module to save on the
main form instead
of saving from another form, and including any additional References that
seemed to be
related in any way.  Nothing helped.
 
If someone could tell me what I have missed, I would appreciate it.
