>That is what is strange, I have no such controls. I do not use data controls in general and this form is not a data-based form. I do have code in the Form_Load event, but when I step through in debug mode the error occurs before the Form_Load. I put handling on the Form_Initialize also to no avail.

Open that form into the Notepad and paste it here (if too long, send it to emoreau99@hotmail.com).
