No, this is not a topic for a day-time talk show Roll Eyes

I have a parent form where the programming tests ok & a child form where the programming tests ok but when I try to preview I get the programming failed error.  Anything specific known to cause issues with sub-forms?

I was hoping someone knew where I should start looking. I have searched for a couple hours this morning and didn't see anything like this in the boards. (learned lots of other good stuff though)

Oh, I think it is natural linking, (whatever is the default).

Thanx

Check some values inside quotes in the Program Editor.  Will probably have to do this in both parent and children.

Some things can be bad in quotes, and not fail in Test.  Nothing specific comes to mind, but perhaps values in XLU statements, paths, etc. 

Also remember that XLUs will not work in Preview mode until version 2.  That will not usually create the message you have, but thought the reminder might cause you to think about XLU statements that usually have text within quotes.

I think we can safely cross out any XLU statements  Embarrassed I have not figured those out yet...

I copied the original form and deleted parts of it to create the parent & child forms. All the programming worked fine when it was 1 form and the few changes I made to the child work fine when I open it independently. It is just when opening the parent form I have issues...

I'll check back later but guess I'll just cut out all the programming then put it back a little at a time. Yech!

Thanx anyway!

Also look for elements that have been "ghosted". These are elements that have been dragged off of the form's surface and onto the canvas. If a ghosted element is referred to in programming, it will be found in Designer but not Runtime.

You might also look for On Application Open programming.

I think there may have been a ghost or two. I just selected ghosts and hit delete. I had also /* all the code and put it back a little at a time. Somewhere in all that it works.

Thank you all!
