DoCmd.OpenForm fails in 2003

In Access 97 it runs fine, but when converted to 2003 the code "skips"
the Docmd.openform line.

I tried putting the line a few times but to no avail.

Also, sendkeys does NOT work reliabely in 2003 as it did in 97.

Anybody else have this??

What do you mean by "skips?"

DoCmd.OpenForm "Form Name Here"
works fine for me in Access 2003

Can't say that I've tried in a db that was converted from 97 though.

Wanna post some sample code?

if i break the code and run it manually with the {F8} key, it works,
but if I let the whole procedure run, it doesn't open the form.

Any error coming up?

Have you tried the same code in a new Access 2003 database?

another thing, I don't know if it's related, in the database I keep an
invisible form on. When I change the default printer - the form becomes
visible. this did not happen in 97.

no error. it just doesn't open the form. i will try to create a new
database with just that form and see what happens.

same thing. i also noticed that if i leave access to be the active
window it does work, but if i put another application on top of access
THAT'S when it doesn't open the form.
