The open form action was canceled _ from emad

[Emad]

I write this small code in open form event
(Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub)

I got the error “ The open form action was canceled

Error No 2501

The detail of the error :


‘the expression on open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error;A poroplem occurred while Factory DB wsa communicating with the OLE server or Active X Control

• the expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined function or [Event Procedure]
• There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro

He DB was working and still working good in windows 7 but I got this error in windows 8
Thanks

What's with ( around the sub?
I tried this and it worked.
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub

Considering this statement by itself. It sounds like you have a reference issue. Access 2003 version of DoCmd must depend on something W8 does not have.

What do you have running on the W8 machine to open your 2003 DB? Are you opening a 2003 file using a later version of Access? Do you have 2003 runtime on the W8 machine?
