Runtime error message

[Cesar]

When starting an application (local FE and network BE data tables) I often
get the following error message:
___________________________________________________________________
The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced
the following error:. <=Including the dot
* The expressin may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a
user-defined function, or [Event Procedure].
* There may have been an error evaluating the function, event, or macro.
___________________________________________________________________

Most of the time, closing this error box and starting the application again
results in a flowless operation.
Any ideas on how to investigate or resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Cesar

Not real sure why you only get the error message sometimes, but this type of
error message typically is the result of something having been entered in an
event in the Properties Window (in this case the form's OnOpen event) and
then it being erased/deleted, acidentally leaving a "dot" behind. Because of
where it's placed, Access assumes it to be the name of a function or macro
that it can't locate.

Go into the form's Properties Window and hilite then delete the dot. (It may
be hard to see, which is why it was probably left behind)
