Hi all,
I have an issue at one of my Clients where my app refuse to open giving some Expression of Timer event on the Form error. I have no idea if I look at the error code as the Form does not even have a timer event.
Anyway - the app works fine at all other Clients.
I ended up installing a full version of Access 2003 at the Client in order to get a better error report but strangely enough if I run a Compact and Repair, the app works fine (like at the other Clients) afterwards with absolutely no errors or anything I did or fixed to make it right.
I created a new blank form and pulled all the objects and code in from the problem form and deleted it but it did not help at all.
App would not open but once I do a simple Compact and Restore on the Client's PC it works.
Doing it on my PC and then transferring it to the Client does not do the trick.
I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what it could be.
My guess is that the Client's PC fixes or imports something that is needed on their machine which is not a problem on mine of other Clients.
I read up on FM20.dll and noticed that it could be a problem on some O/S and Office setups.
The reason why I thought about FM20.dll is that I noticed for some time now (about 6 months ago if I look at earlier backups I made) that the reference to Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Lib suddenly appeared on my PC. I cannot remember ticking it. Thinking that it might have ticked itself because of some control I added at some stage but I'm not sure as I don't use custom controls.
I cannot untick the reference as it states that it is in use but I don't know by what it is used. If I did I would try replace whatever I use that needs it so I can untick it to test.
Any ideas on this?
1. How can I find out what MS Forms 2.0 is used for in my app?
2. Any idea about the Time event error and if the above ref could cause that?
3. Any similar issues anyone had maybe?
4. Any advice please?
Thanks a lot
Pierre
