Paul & boblarson,
Here's the sample database per your request. I would appreciate your time.

Thanks.

Get rid of the DoCmd.Echo commands. That's what's causing it to lock. Once I removed those, it worked great.

boblarson,
Thank you very much. I tested and yes it solved the problem when I removed DoCmd.Echo, but users have to deal with blinking screen every time they click search button. That's OK. Now I can move on. Thanks for all your time and other folks who were kind enough to devote their time in looking into this problem and offered their ideas.

Shan.

Hi Paul,

You've just explained in one simple sentence why it used to work and now doesn't. I had been playing with the error handling option, and had forgotten to switch it back to break on un-handled errors.

Thanks for that it just saved me hours of frustration cos I knew I had solved it and my cade was there and corect.

I had this problem - after searching many forum found that removing all printers and reinstalling them resolved the problem.

You probably have the Error Trapping level set to Break on All Errors (vba options). Change it to Break on Unhandled Errors and you will be okay.
