Hi all I've now seen this error twice. Both times for code like this: Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset rst.Open "tblTable", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic The compiler stops at the line with rst.Open with the error message in the subject. After much trouble and testing, a reinstall (or update) of the MDAC did it in both cases. No explanation why.
