Sorry to say many errors and omissions in this code, some of which definitely can cause your issue IMHO.
I'll assume this is just a posting error and is in fact, 2 lines
Option Compare DatabaseOption Explicit
these are all variants because they have not been explicitly declared otherwise:
Dim stOption
Dim stForm
Dim stSearchValue
so you are passing what looks like a form reference to a variant type of variable
stOption = "rptqryGageMaster"
these are not properly referenced:
comboSN.Value = Null
comboSN.RowSource = ""
preface with Me. as in Me.comboSN.Value = Null, or better yet, Me.comboSN = Null
again, not properly referenced (which may be the reason for your error)...
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'Clear Select S/N Combo box
... because Access can/will decipher this as a variable
comboSN.Value = Null
comboSN.Enabled = False
I recently posted that using Me! will cause late bound interpretation of the reference, whereas Me. will cause such references to be interpreted when code is compiled. This means that problems don't arise until run-time. I have to presume that not using Me at all when Option Explicit has been set produces the same result. Either that or the first line of your module is written wrong (but I doubt it). Note that I'm only referring to what happens with Me and not any other use of the bang (!) operator.
the only way you can correctly write code like this
optPinSet.Value = Null
optMasterGear.Value = Null
OptSpecialGauging.Value = Null
is if you wrap it in a With block, but the block must begin with the proper parent reference (Me)
With Me
.optPinSet = Null
.optMasterGear = Null
.OptSpecialGauging = Null
End With
Each error I've identified occurs throughout the module, so there's a lot more of it. I suspect it propagates throughout the whole project. Try fixing all of this and see what happens, though it wouldn't explain why you seem to be the only one affected. This suggests you have a different copy of a split FE, so please do answer ssanfu's question as it will help us if what I'm pointing out doesn't fix the problem.
The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.
