Method 'Items' of object "Forms" failed

18 New Member
I found a post with the same error here.
I'm getting the same error. This code is run in a button click event:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. ...........
  2. DoCmd.OpenForm CurTabViewName, acNormal
  3. With Forms(CurTabViewName) 
  4. ...........
  5.  
At the "With" statement I get the error. Weird thing is this code had been working fine a long time. I've been searching the net and haven't been able to find the solution yet. Does anyone know a solution?

Only possibility I found out (from the above linked post) is that maybe it has to do with timing. I can imagine that the form is not completely ready when the "with" statement executes. Is there any way to tell access to wait until the form is completely loaded before executing the "with" statement?

have you tried putting a refresh, repaint, or recalc method in betweene these codes?

Access executes Command2 without waiting for Command1 to finish executing, which can, indeed, cause timing problems. In this case, my guess is that the form hasn't finished loading/opening when the next line of code tries to reference it.

Refresh, repaint, or recalc is going to do nothing to correct this. What does frequently help is to place the command DoEvents between two commands.
DoEvents basically sends control from Access to Windows to allow Command1 to finish before returning control to Access to execute Command2.

Wow. That's new for me! :)

Thanks Missingling.

Hello all, Would you gurus please share your wisdom on any DB2 equivalents to the Informix "Forms" input form utility and "Ace" report generating utility? The input form will probably be accessed by telneting from a Linux shell or Windows command prompt and used for updating a lab database. Thanks and regards, Woody Lemcke

Hi I have a problem with my web applications. I believe the problem is somehow connected to HttpSession. I use form authentication in my project.

Some times I keep data in the object as a property of object. For example let say my object is...

Hi! Is there a way to "preload" a form using a thread or something else so that my user doesn't have to wait 5 seconds (initializing time) between forms? Some of these forms have tab strips with lots of controls and database queries on them and I would like to try to have some(all) of the preloading of the next form and controls done in the background while a user is still entering data. (For example, my user visits screen A then B then...

All, (here's an easy one)... This is probably a stupid question - please bare with me as I am new to dotNet. How does one reference objects on a form from a module? In 6.0 you could simply provide the form name as a prefix to the object within the form and that would do it (kind of like providing a fully qualified path name to a
