Event procedure under Vista crashes

Erich Farber

a usually perfectly working Access 2003 application copied to a VISTA (Ult)
running notebook bombs at any attempt to open/edit an event procedure... the
screen turns a misty grey and a feeling of utter doom and desperation
permeates the air... followed by some cryptic debugger screens promising to
find a solution - which never comes. It is a new notebook , does anybody
know how to fix this or can give a hint what I may have overlooked/not
configured properly? (References look OK and it compiles). Many thanks!

Is the notebook running Access 2007? I've seen "spontaneous" corruption when
opening Access 2003 db in 2007. Following the usual suggestions for
repairing corruption has been able to fix these issues most of the time, and
would still apply if you're using A2003 on both systems. Allen Browne's
website has good suggestions, as do others. Since you described it as an
event procedure, then I guess this is a form or report? If everything except
one object is working ok, try importing everything else except the corrupted
object into a new, blank db. If that new db works ok on the laptop, make a
copy of it. Try importing the problem object into the copy. If that corrupts
the db, then recreating the object might solve it. After saving the object's
code from A2003, you can set the object property Has Module to false which
deletes the module. Try importing again. If that works on the laptop, then
you can open the module and paste in the saved code. If it still fails, try
recreating the problem object from scratch.
