size=2>Me![UserID] is taken into account. Virginia builds it into the
stLinkCriteria variable. The real problem is that DCount returns a
<U>count of records</U> matching stLinkCriteria. She was always getting
the error message because unless you explicitly tell an IF..THEN
statement how to evaluate the results then it assumes you are working with
a boolean and in this particular case, the value was not and never would =
TRUE.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your test fails to take Me![UserID] into
consideration, which means that DCount() will always return non-zero as long
as there are rows in said table. You need to carry the test down to the
Dcount() line.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=590144613-30012003>I have a form
that users select their name from a combobox, it opens a main form that
allows them to edit only active requests. I am having problems with the
main form opening even if they do not have any active requests (they are
closed). If they do not have any active requests, the message box "No Open
EFRs" should display, but it doesn't, the frmSystemFailure opens & I
receive an error, can't go to specified record (on the main form OnOpen, I
have it set focus to a certain field).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
