VB error message (1 Viewer)

[mlamont]

This error message just started to pop up pretty much out of nowhere whenever I click on a button to go to another form. Some buttons are affected and others aren't.

"Error Accessing File. Network connection may have been lost."

I am not on a network, and my db is on my computer.

Can anybody help me?

What is the code that runs when you click the button?

Go into the Design View of the form and right-mouse click on the button. Select Build Event ... and copy that code here.

I wish I could, the big problem is that it has affected a lot of buttons that perform a wide variety of tasks, this problem just popped up a few hours ago when I tried to put in an ActiveX calendar.

One thing I forgot to mention is that the error message asks you to press an OK button which then takes me to a VB code screen of a particular report called CONTACTSHEET, and in the code there is only this line:

"Option Compare Database"

Ah, where is the library for this ActiveX control? When initially registered on your machine, it may have been through a network (or at least thought it was) but is no longer present. Try removing that reference and map to the library locally.

I deleted all of the forms which contained the ActiveX calendar however when I go to the Visual Basic Project explorer they are still listed and i can't seem to delete them from the Project Explorer. I think this may be causing the problem, do you know how I can delete them?

In a code module, look under Tools ... References. Look under there for estranged selected libraries. You should only have a couple. Check those out and see what they do. You may see the reference to the invalid place I referred to above. See if you can find that locally.
