[AccessD] Error 2448 "You can not assign a value tothis object."

Hi Doug

Then try doing this at the OnCurrent event. Set a flag when done to do this once only.

If you try to set the value of a bound control while the form is opening you are trying to update the form which is not possible at that moment.
Updating an unbound control does not involve an update of the form.

Thanks Gustav,

After the form is loaded I can run the code to set the textbox to a value
and it works fine.  As I said in a previous post on this I put a button on
the form and ran the line of code and all worked well.  Since the line runs
in the onload event the form should be populated with all the bound values
and my code should update, I thought.

Tried to set me.txtFee = 0 and got the same error.  Tried without the
subform and got the same error. Will keep banging away at it.

I didn't realize you could use two fields in a domain aggregate function.
That is great, I learned something else.

Hi Doug

If this works:

  Me!txtFee.Value = 0

it could have something to do with your query, or you may have an update
event of the textbox. Or try without your subform.

Also, you don't need to call the query twice:

  Me!txtFee.Value = DSum("Nz(ShowAmount, 0) + Nz(TotalTax, 0)",
"qryVendorWeddingFee")

Folks,

I am frustrated because a form has started throwing an error and I can not
seem to isolate it. This was working last week, I think, and now I get the
error.  It is probably something very simple I am not seeing.  IN the onLoad
event of the form I have a statement 

Me.txtFee.Value = Nz(DSum("ShowAmount", "qryVendorWeddingFee"), 0) +
Nz(DSum("TotalTax", "qryVendorWeddingFee"), 0)

When the form opens I get the subject error message. For debugging purposes
I commmented the line out and put a button on the form that does the same
thing.  This works fine setting me.txtFee to the proper value.  At first I
was using me.txtFee =, and got the same error.

Do any of you see what is going on here?

Thanks in advance.

Doug
