[AccessD] Microsoft Access Has Stopped Working

I have run into that myself.  I am convinced (in fact I know that) there is "hidden stuff" in what 
we edit.  I think it is probably something similar to the old Word Perfect control codes - "hidden 
but there none the less".  If you cut and paste - guess what - it survives.  *NEVER* cut and paste 
the offending line.

Comment out the offending line.
Drop down a new line
*type the offending line in manually*

If it is the same thing that I ran into, it will be gone.

DELETE the commented out offending line so that it is never uncommented.

I believe that you can cut and paste the offending line into NotePad.  Doing so strips all the 
special unseen stuff out of it.  Then cut from Notepad and paste back in to your module.

It is really best though to just manually type the line in again.
