Random Message box pops up in access... for some people... Oy!

[redbull]

So, I have a front end with about 100 people on it... and a small number of them are telling me about a weird problem... I cannot find any common ground between these users either.

So The application has a timer. This timer checks some IE variables.. If the IE variables are the same, it does nothing.. if the variables are different it does something else.



For these people they are getting a message box every 4.5 seconds... right on queue with the timer

I don't know what is causing it.. the timer, has zero message boxes within the code. I can attach the code if you guys think it will be beneficial... But I am hopeful this is an access thing and someone has dealt with it before.

Where does your timer function reside? The MsgBox you are getting may be triggered in another module. Maybe you can search your code for the declared variable that becomes 0. Like intIE_Variable or lngIE_Variable. There could be a MsgBox nearby this variable result.

First off, does

...I have a front end with about 100 people on it...

mean that each user has a copy of the Front End on their machine, or are they all using a single file on a shared drive?

And, yes, if you have code that is misbehaving and you want help debugging it, letting us see it would be a good thing. At this point I'm talking about the code in the Timer event, as well as the code of any Function that may be called from the Timer event.

You do need to post the code involved. It's hard to help with just a description of the problem.
What do you actually mean by "checking some IE variables" exactly ?

Alright, everyone has a local copy of the front end. I reviewed the code, and there is no msgbox anywhere near the timed event.. So i just compact & repair and put out an update to the users... The problem seems to have resolved itself.
