I have function:

Sub PullRec(subfrm As Form, lbxMatchClmn As Variant,
varMatch As String)
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = subfrm.Recordset.Clone
If IsNumeric(lbxMatchClmn) Then
rs.FindFirst "[" & varMatch & "] = " & lbxMatchClmn
Else
rs.FindFirst "[" & varMatch & "] = '" & lbxMatchClmn & "'"
End If
If Not rs.EOF Then subfrm.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
rs.Close
End Sub

Which I use to pull records for a subform using a List
Box selection which exists on the main form.

The function works fine at home but not at the office
(both use XP Access) and I need to find out why.

Work gives me this error:

Compile error: Object library feature not supported.



The line of code that causes this is the call to function:

Call PullRec(Me![subAccount].Form,
Me.lbxClientAccountLkUp.Column(1), "AccountNumber")

It highlights the .Form part when the error pops up.

If I replace the function call with:

Dim rst As Object
Set rst = Me![subAccount].Form.Recordset.Clone
rst.FindFirst "[AccountNumber] = '" &
Me.lbxClientAccountLkUp.Column(1) & "'"
If Not rst.EOF Then Me![subAccount].Form.Bookmark =
rst.Bookmark
rst.Close


it works fine but I'ld rather use my function. The odd
thing is the function is used a couple times to populate
different subforms before this one. Any thoughts?
 
Odd now suddenly the other calls to the function PullRec
do not work either. This is after having successfully
used them at work several times. Maybe its a table data
issue.
 
Don't see how its the tables though!!! Why would the
function suddenly stop working, even if I close access
and reload it still doesnt work.

Hmmmm Corrections
The file format is Access 2000
Work Access is Access 2002
and my Home Access is what ever XP Office comes with.

I don't see yet why your function works at home but not at the office,
and I can't explain the error message. However, most often when Access
applications work in one location and not in another, it's because of a
broken reference. Have you opened the References dialog in the office
copy to see if there are any references marked as MISSING?

I must point out, though, that there is an error in your function
regardless of whether it appears to be working or not. You call
rs.FindFirst, and then check for rs.EOF, apparently to check if a match
was found. However, rs.EOF will *not* be set if no match is found.
Instead rs.NoMatch is set. The current record pointer is then unknown.
