Database Error "OLEUnbound312"

[ClassicPhil]

Everytime I either try to open up or print this particular form, I keep getting the following message:

Run-time Error '2465':
Microsoft Office Access cannot find the field 'OLEUnbound312' referred to in your expression.

This is a lot more complex than I can type here...it's one of those "need to be there" things. I am modifying a Form that someone created 200 years ago (<---exaggeration), and the best I can come up with is that there was something embedded in the form that I deleted, and I don't know how to get around it. I have been smashing my head against the desk half the day trying to figure this out, and I can't move forward until it's done.

I can't upload the database in it's normal form or zipped form because it's too large. I have tried to cut it down to size by deleting all the forms and tables I don't need for this issue, but still too large. Is there another way I can share this? Or is there someone local who can meet me after work to help me with this? I live in Virginia Beach.

Thanks in advance,

Phil

How big is the db can't you upload and share it on a drive in the cloud somewhere?

Have you done a "Compact and Repair" after deleting the forms and table?

The DB is 34KB...I am only allowed to upload 2KB. I have tried to zip the file, and that takes it down to about 5KB...also, our IT department doesn't allow incoming or outgoing RDP.

I am not sure what a "Compact and Repair" is, can you elaborate?

I have posted the file on my Microsoft SkyDrive...you will have to copy and paste the link since I can't post links yet due to forum rules:

Once you open the database, a blue form will pop up first labeled "BoardMain". Type "N5 UPS" in the "Unit Type" block. Then type "123" for the "Unit Serial" block. Please let me know if you have any issues viewing it.

I have done a little more digging and found that the "OLEUnbound312" refers to an imbedded object. In this case, it is a graphic that you can see when you open up the form in design view, you will see it in VERY LARGE lettering that says "TABLETOP".

In the upper left hand corner, there are two check boxes, one labeled "TABLETOP" and the other labeled "RACKMOUNT". The way it currently works is if you select the TABLETOP checkbox in Form View, then "TABLETOP" graphic will be printed across the paper. If you select RACKMOUNT, then nothing is printed across the paper other than the data on the form.

All that I am trying to do to fix this form is to delete the "TABLETOP" graphic and associated checkboxes (we don't need these on the form anymore). But when I do this, I get the error that I originally posted. I know that I have to change the code to reflect the changes I made to the form, but I don't know how much I can delete messing something else up. This is the part I need help with.

If anyone needs more detailed info, just send me a PM and I'll give you my work number.

Thanks for all your help.
