Huh?

[PeterM]

I'm getting the message below. I can't figure out what it's trying to tell
me. Can someone please enlighten me?

THE EXPRESSION ON OPEN YOU ENTERED AS THE EVENT PROPERTY SETTING PRODUCED
THE FOLLOWING ERROR: PROCEDURE DECLARATION DOES NOT MATCH DESCRIPTION OF
EVENT OR PROCEDURE HAVING THE SAME NAME.

In debug mode I can't get it to get to the On Open event. The message above
happens first.

Thanks in advance. (I know it's something stupid that I did!)

Did you by any chance modify or hand-code the event procedure's Sub
declaration? The Sub statement should look like this:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)

If it doesn't, you'll get that message.

By the way, you should try to make your post's subject a bit more
informative. You'll get better responses that way.

Understood about the title.

I checked the Form_Open event and it looks fine... Any other ideas dirk?

Peter, it doesn't have to be the Form_Open event that's the problem one.

Look at all the code in the module, e.g. do you have:
- two Form_Open's?
- a Form_Load or Current with a Cancel argument it shouldn't have?
- controls' events that are not right?

In the code window, try Compile on the Debug menu.

Good point, Allen.

Peter, follow this advice.

The compile did the trick. You guys ROCK! thanks to you all
