Have you tried stepping through to determine at what point the error
occurs? If not, it may not this piece of code that is causing it.
Also, is your example with in an event? Which one?

Is this being done in the NotInList or some other event that occurs prior
to the controls updating? If so, I think the problem is that the combobox
does not yet have a Value. I think it is not null because someone type
something into it, but a value has not yet been assigned to the bound
column because it does not yet exist.
If this is the NotInList event, then all the checking for nulls you are
doing is not really necessary, as something had to be entered in order for
the event to fire. Perhaps all you need to do is confirm that it is not an
empty string, and pass the new value (NewData argument) along to
frmCustomer using the OpenArgs portion of the DoCmd.OpenForm.

Hi Mike
thanks for your input
I followed your idea of getting rid of the If Not IsNull and used
openArgs, all working great
thanks
