Wow, a lot to catch up on.
pbaldy, I modified the test app to open a form on start-up and then clicked on the documentation button (with the "?" on it). It works fine.
I added option specific to all the text boxes in the original app - no change.
It works fine on the .accdb and .accde versions and it works fine on the .accdr version of the test app. Now, I can't seem to get the test app to fail.
CJ, I removed the stLinkCriteria string variable as well - no change.
Here's another strange thing.
On the full version, when I do a File/Save As (to compile it) - then select Make ACCDE - then click the "Save As" button - it brings up the "Save As" dialog box (as it should), but if I wait for 8 to 10 seconds, it bombs-out (that's a technical term) and closes down. And - when I start the app up again it wants to start in safe mode because it says that Access couldn't start last time.
If, however, I hurry through the Save As process, clicking the "save" button and allowing it to overwrite the existing .accde file, it appears to complete the compile process, but about 8 to 10 seconds after I clicked the "Save As" button it
bombs-out and the next time I start it up, it tells me that it failed to start last and wants to go to safe mode. The .accde version works fine and includes any changes that I made (so it appears to have compiled), but the .accdr version still has the same issues.
When I compile the test version, it compiles with no problem and it works fine in .accdb, .accde, and .accdr versions.
Help me Obi-Wan, you're my only hope!
