ACC2: GP Fault Using Module.InsertText in Form Module

• Microsoft Access version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

When you use an implicit reference to a module with the InsertText method in a form module, you may receive a general protection (GP) fault.

RESOLUTION

Use an explicit reference to the module when you are using the InsertText method in a form module. The following statement is an example of an explicit reference to a module:

   Forms![FormName].Module.InsertText Field0.Text

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access version 2.0. This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 7.0.
