    can't find object


    Hi all. Im working on a 2003 database I took over. On a particular form, the users are getting an error "can't find the object "some name". If "some name" is a macro or macro group, make sure you have saved it and that you have typed its name correctly.
    The error happens when they type in a field or select from a drop down box. They can select ok and it would go away but comes back on the next record. I checked all the objects and macros and there is none by that particular name. I searched the modules and code through the entire project and nothing by that name. I can only guess that an object by that name did exist at one time but now deleted. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the error please. Thanks
