ACC2000: Access 2000 Does Not Support the UserForm Object

ID: Q198646

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Access 2000

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

This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and a Microsoft Access project (.adp).

SUMMARY

In Help in the Visual Basic Editor, you see methods, properties, events, and statements that apply only to the UserForm object. However, even though it is possible to create and to use UserForms in the Visual Basic Editor, it is recommended that you not use them with Access. Instead, use Access forms.

MORE INFORMATION

You receive the following error message if you try to use a UserForm method, property, or statement on an object other than the UserForm (for example, a Microsoft Access form) in Visual Basic for Applications code:

Run-time error '2465':

Application-defined or object-defined error

Using the following methods, properties, or statements on objects other than UserForms will cause the error:


   Methods
   -------
   Hide
   PrintForm
   Show
   WhatsThisMode

   Properties
   ----------
   StartUpPosition
   WhatsThisButton
   WhatsTHisHelp

   Statements
   ----------
   Load
   Unload

NOTE: The Load statement and the Unload statement of UserForms are not to be confused with the Load event and the Unload event of Microsoft Access forms. The syntax contained in the Help topics for the Load and Unload statements do not work with Access forms.

REFERENCES
