access 97 : command button question

[JMCN]

hello

this is absolutely ridiculous :) i have a simple form where if you
click the "main menu" command button it should ideally go to the main
menu . however, each time i click the menu command button i receive
an error message "the expression On Click you entered as an event
property setting produced the following error: user-defined type not
defined." i just don't understand when i actually used the wizard or
have the simple code of the following:

private sub btnMainMenu()
docmd.close
end sub

any help would be appreciated :)
thanks! jung

The OnClick event in the button's Properties sheet needs to be set to [Event Procedure],
the first line of the procedure should be

Private Sub btnMainMenu_Click()

In the OnClick event of your button, change the btnmainmenu() to
Event Procedure, then rename your function to
private sub btnMainMenu_click() instead of btnMainMenu()

Thanks for your help but I realized when I sent this post, it was a
typo because I forgot to type in "_click" after the btnMainMenu.

Thanks fo you suggestions. I think I'm going to start over and
recreate the form.
