SUMMARY

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

The Microsoft Access 97 "IsObject Function" Help Topic contains the following sentence: 

   You can use the IsNothing function to determine if an object
   reference has been set to Nothing.
This is incorrect. There is no IsNothing function in Microsoft Access.

MORE INFORMATION

You can use one of the following functions to evaluate an object in Microsoft Access: 

   - IsNull - Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether an expression
              contains no valid data (Null).

   - IsEmpty - Returns a Boolean value indicating whether a variable has
               been initialized.

   - IsMissing - Returns a Boolean value indicating whether an optional
                 Variant argument has been passed to a procedure.

   - IsBroken -  The IsBroken property returns a Boolean value indicating
                 whether a Reference object points to a valid reference in
                 the Windows Registry.
