erroneous phantom error message?

D

Dave

When a form is being closed in a 2002 mde, an error message is being
generated that wasn't coming up before. This occurs if the form save
process (validation) is run or if it is closed without saving. The
message seems to be Access generated since it's title bar says
"Microsoft Access", and the message is preceded by it's number. Here's
the rub: the number is 3265, but the message is "Could not record
review transaction."

3265 is supposed to be "Item not found in this collection", and I can
find no information on the error message I'm getting. It's not in the
ODBC or Jet listing, and my searches on MS KB, Access MVP sites and
Access groups has turned up nothing. Does anyone have a clue as to why
this is the case and what the phantom message means?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi.

I entered 'error 3265' in the address bar of my web browser and scanned the
results. One was for the following company site. Scroll down to the Web
Helpdesk Support section then look under Login Errors. The description seems
to point to something having changed on the server. This may make some sense
to you - I am a relative novice to Access, so Ive no idea if it will help.
Good luck.

Guess what? The text of this error message was customized by the code
writer as one means of providing evidence of editing directly in the
tables instead of by forms (can't divulge how). That's in addition to
possibilities related to the original intended purpose of the message.
In English, there is in fact an item missing in a collection. Now we
have to figure out what it is because it doesn't happen in the file
that the mde was made from.
