    ACCDE Problem

    I have a database that I have been using for months. It is split. I have made many many updates to the front end, and never had a problem. Well, this last set up changes/updates I made has some sort of problem. Althought the problem does not exist until I make create an accde and then try to open it.

    This is the message I get:
    the expression you entered has a function name that databasename can't find.

    I have read A LOT and tried a million things, but no luck.

    I have an autoexecute macro that runs some vba code. It is telling me that it can't find the function in this code. However, for the past 6 months or so, the code in this auto exe and the module for the vba code has not changed at all. Just to be safe, I copied the code from an older version that still works fine, and pasted it in. Still no change.

    I read that it might have something to do with the references. I will be honest, I really have no idea about any of the references. However, I am suspicious of one change that I made. I read on one forum aobut the dao reference, may be a problem. I recently added some code that uses dao and creates a recordset, but just does a simple loop through the records. I went into the references and noticed that the dao 3.6 reference was not added. When I tried to add it, it gave me an error saying that there is a duplicate name (module, macro, reference). So i just unchecked the ado reference, and it didn't appear that I needed it. Then it let me add the dao reference. But this still did not fix the problem.

    I even created a new database, and copied everything over to it, but this didn't end up working. There were all kinds of missing things, so I gave up on that.

    Any ideas on what the problem may be??

    Thanks!

    You may have a duplicate procedure name somewhere. I ran into this same problem with a database that had been working fine. The problem was I had imported a module that had a function named "ng_autoexec" which was the same name as an existing function named "ng_autoexec".

    If that doesn't help, try: http://www.peterssoftware.com/t_fixerr.htm
