What is (now) the name of the function? What is the name of the module? -- John W. Vinson [MVP]
From: Duane Hookom on 31 Dec 2009 17:30 I would try these trouble-shooting steps: 1) open the debug window and test your function Press Ctrl+G then ? ClaimsCheck() 2) try create a different function that is very simple and place it in your Autoexec macro -- Duane Hookom Microsoft Access MVP "Dorian" wrote: > I'm not sure what you mean, the function was created in a module that was > created with Modules--New.

From: Douglas J. Steele on 1 Jan 2010 11:30 That's what I was trying to say: that where the code is stored must have been created as a Module, not a Class Module. What did you name the module when you saved it? -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)

From: Douglas J. Steele on 1 Jan 2010 11:32 That implies to me that you may have named the module ClaimsCheck. As we've been trying to tell you, the name of the module cannot be the same as the name of any function or sub within the module. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)
