Elyse, another (very) long shot. Delete the offending line, the line before and the line after to make sure there are no "strange" chrs anywhere. Does the program/form compile without error? Clean up the project using Project - Clean Up Project. Then re-type the line again - do not copy/paste the old line. Does this work? (Its a looong shot).

Where is -sb- when you need him??
