AutoFill Module

Brent

Can someone please help me with this code? Here is what I have:

Option Explicit
Function AutoFillNewRecord(F As Form)

Dim RS As DAO.Recordset, C As Control
Dim FillFields As String, FillAllFields As Integer

On Error Resume Next

' Exit if not on the new record.
If Not F.NewRecord Then Exit Function

' Goto the last record of the form recordset (to autofill form).
Set RS = F.RecordsetClone
RS.MoveLast

' Exit if you cannot move to the last record (no records).
If ERR <> 0 Then Exit Function

' Get the list of fields to autofill.
FillFields = ";" & F![AutoFillNewRecordFields] & ";"

' If there is no criteria field, then set flag indicating ALL
' fields should be autofilled.
FillAllFields = ERR <> 0

F.Painting = False

' Visit each field on the form.
For Each C In F
' Fill the field if ALL fields are to be filled OR if the
' ...ControlSource field can be found in the FillFields list.
If FillAllFields Or InStr(FillFields, ";" & (C.Name) & ";") > 0 Then
C = RS(C.ControlSource)
End If
Next

F.Painting = True

End Function

Every time I try to open a form that uses this module it gives me this error:

Compile Error
User-defined type not defined

And it then highlights: Dim RS As DAO.Recordset

This same exact code works fine in another database, but when I copied it
over I get this error on every form that uses it. Someone please help. I am
pulling my hair out. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
With any code module open, go to Tools->References
and make sure you have a reference to DAO.xxx
xxx being the version on your machine.
