Object Invalid or no Longer Set

[tarpon_zeke]

I have a very strange error that I am getting that I have
never come across before.

This program has been in a production mode on over 15
computers for 6 months. The customer got a new computer
and had it set up by the IT department and this error is
happening only on this new computer.

When the customer runs the program there is a subform on
the main menu that shows the user any open "todo" items
that have been assigned to them but not completed. This
is a very simple table that is driving this form.

On this new computer when the first run the program the
subform on the main menu looks exactly like it should.

If the user goes into the main data entry form and comes
back to the main menu, this "todo" subform then has #name?
in every field and if you try and click on the form the
error "Object invalid or no longer set" comes up about 10
times and you can finally exit the program.

The form the user goes into does nothing to this subform
but for some reason the subform goes away if they go into
this other form.

The computer is running Windows 2000 Professional and the
network is a Novell network. All the other computers are
fine but this one is not acting properly. Permissions and
all seem fine but obviously something is wrong.

Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated.

Is the new computer running the same version of Access as the others? If
not, you might want to open the application on the new computer, go into a
code window and try to compile your code. I've had some strange things
happen to applications written in Access 2000 and run in Access 97. One
error was the result of using parenthesis in the date function. Date()
versus Date.

Often when databases don't work on one particular machine, it's because
of a broken or missing reference. See if the steps outlined here help:
