The database you downloaded may have some references that you don't have on your computer. Go to any module, select tools, references and look for one that says MISSING. Uncheck it and re-compile your db.

Thanks for the offer Charlotte. I would be very interested in seeing
this! It sounds like it is exactly what I am looking for, and if it
isn't, well I guess I learn something new and maybe get more
ideas...which might be a dangerous thing!
Thanks again...I'll look forward to view this!

What I do is create a custom property called DisplayName for each
report
that should appear in a list like that. Then I populate a listbox on
a
popup form with only the reports that have a value in DisplayName.
That
way I can give the reports a user-friendly display name without
abandoning naming conventions. I believe I have a demo somewhere that
shows that and I can send if you would like. Let me know offlist.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks for the help though. I figured on
doing something like the form Lambert had suggested, but I hadn't
thought to use check boxes. But this does give me another idea though.
I originally had this issue because the users quickly outgrew my
reports
menu--they said they wouldn't need more that a couple and I had made
room for five despite what they said. Well they have come up with a
bunch that are very similar, but each has a different specialty--as a
bunch I am referring to them as 'Program Reports', since they each
feature a different program that the department runs.
Since I am doing a separate pop-up, I am thinking of using a drop-down
list with the report names in it--there may be around 12-15 or so of
these reports. Is there a way of creating a table or query listing
available reports, or more specifically, but less probable, certain
types of reports--I could flag them somehow--and have them pipe into a
drop-down. Or will I need to place these in myself, which I think I
will
probably have to do?
Thanks again!
John

Bottom line, the Input Box IS NOT sizable. You will have to create
your
own custom dialog box as suggested.

'Dumb
Question' warning!!!
I have placed an InputBox behind a command button, and it is a short
question:
'Opt = InputBox("eport or abels", "Report Choice")'
My problem is that this box is huge compared to the needed entry, and
I
would like to shorten it up, if possible. It isn't simply that it
looks
dumb, but you just know user will try to type more if there is room.
Is
there a way to control the size?
Thanks, John
