ID: Q166290
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Access versions 7.0, 97
SYMPTOMS
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
When you use the Documenter Wizard in a Microsoft Access database, some
objects that are open may produce an error if you try to document them.
NOTE: The Documenter Wizard is called the Documentor Wizard in
Microsoft Access 7.0.
In Microsoft Access 7.0 and 97, if you have a query open in either
Datasheet or Design view when you document it with the Documenter, you
receive the following error:
In Microsoft Access 97:
Invalid procedure call or argument
In Microsoft Access 7.0:
Invalid procedure call
In Microsoft Access 97, if you have a form open in either Form or Datasheet
view when you document it with the Documenter, you receive the following
error. You may also receive this error if the Relationships window is open
when you try to document a form:
Application-defined or object-defined error
These error messages are followed by another message:
Unable to document <Object Type> '<Object Name>'. Continue?
If you click Yes to continue the Documenter, it proceeds with the remaining
objects it is able to document.
In Microsoft Access 7.0, if you try to document any object when the
Relationships window is open, you receive this error:
The command or action 'CopyObject' isn't available now.
In Microsoft Access 97, if you try to document a module when the
Relationships window is open, you receive the following error:
The command or action 'OutputTo' isn't available now.
RESOLUTION
Before you use the Documenter Wizard, close all open objects in the
database.
