ActiveX Control Ole Server error message :(

Hello!

Here is the problem, I have a database written in Access2003, the database itself is in the Access2000 format. It has around 6tables, 10forms, few reports and queries and thats about it...

The problem started when I tried to copy it to its working environment (computers with Access2000 installed). All the sudden when opening forms I get the error:

The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: A problem occured while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control...

I have checked, and all the references are ok... Also the VB code is fine because it works on my computer with Access 2003...

Please help me... I don't have the time to rewrite the whole database in Access 2000 now

thank you very much in advance,

regards,

andrzej

All the references may be there, but they may not be registered on the computers running the application. Just a thought. Try registering the controls that you reference, especially OCX (active X) controls.

solution to the problem

The problem has been solved by the Jerusalem computer whiz, Asaf Cohen.

The problem arose in transfering an MS Access database from a computer operating on Windows '98 to a computer running Windows XP. Office XP was used in both settings.

Upon pressing on a command button, the above error was returned.

The problem turns out to be that the new constellation does not recongize
objects with foreign alphabet names on the forms. Thus the solution is to
open each form and rename all the objects on that form that still have
foreign alphabet names. That must include all labels, boxes, lines, etc.
The easiest way to confirm that you've indeed changed all the names is to
pull down the list of objects at the top of the properties box.
The word "form" still stays in the foreign language, but that doesn't seem
to bother the program from functioning properly.
