[AccessD] code help please

Yes that was it...

I know that was a specific problem, but it is this problem that made me
decide to always use the full comparison in a if statement. It was also
advice in some access guru books for better readability.
I find myself pretty obsessed with writing easy to read and
understandable code.

My variable name are, for instance, pretty long so it clear for what it
stands.
It will make my code longer but not slower...
Programming with long names does not really slow down develepmont thanks
to copy/paste technology, but also a more frequent use of enums, types
and classes.

I dont know why, but I only (really) discovered the use of classes about
a year or two ago and I'm pretty fond on using them. I more work to
create them but I find the use afterwards far better and the code is
much more structured.

But I'm way of topic here...

Better safe than sorry Erwin, I know, but if you're thinking of the
problem of Access not shutting down correctly then according to MS this
was a very specific problem:

"You have code behind a subform control that references a Boolean
control such as a check box on the main form, and are using an If..Then
statement to implicitly test for a value of True, as shown in the
following example:

If Me.Parent![CheckBox] Then"
