Hello,
I've been trying to modify a database I downloaded from the Microsoft site
entitled
'Inventory management database.mdb'. Using Macros developed by microsoft for their example database (which I've
modified) a macro opens up a list of reports - which can be individually opened up by
clicking on them. However, when I try to open up one of my reports which
appears on the list, I get the following error message:
"An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments
You tried to run a macro or use a method to carry out am action, but an
expression
evaluated the wrong data type."
I guessed this meant I had perhaps specified the wrong datatype in my table,
rom where I had written my list of reports, but this all seemed okay when I
checked and compared it with the working original. I had specified text (and
autonumber for the report ID number)
Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?
Many thanks.
Adam
