Run-time error

[Fred]

I have a database that has been working for years with multiple users on a
run-time of MS Access. For some reason, one of the users started getting the
message,

"Execution of this application has stopped due to a run-time error.
The application can’t continue and will be shut down."

I've tried to repair the run-time installation but the problem was not
resolved. I then removed and reinstalled the run-time back twice and the
problem still exists. I am out of options since the other users in the same
situations/conditions seem to be working well. Any suggestions?


Thanks,
Fred

Hi Fred

The error message is the standard 'generic' error message that doesn't tell
you anything other than Access isn't happy!

Have you tried adding Error Capture to the bit of the application that's
triggering the error response? This should give you an idea of why the error
arises.

If not, then identify where the error is occuring - perhaps when a form
opens, or a button being clicked. Add Error Capture to the event that
triggers the error along the lines of:

Private Sub .....
On Error Goto Err_Click
..... normal coding goes here....
Exit Sub
Err_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
End Sub

You should now get a better description of what's going wrong.

Good luck.
