Welford, It is presumed that no overt formattng has been done for the text boxes. Are you in a position to import the culprit forms in a new database file and send a zipped copy to me - at your earliest ?

In the code : Dim strID As String strID = "*" Forms!frmMain!txtID = strID the system halts and gives me the message when it tries to execute : Forms!frmMain!txtID = strID Any ideas will be appreciated!

Have you put a breakpoint into code to find the exact line that is triggering the message? Are you referencing the hidden control in code, in a query, or what?

[mailto:COUTTSW at rjrt.com] Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 4:37 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] SAVING DATA ON FORM 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. Welford Coutts -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
