Hi,

Is the error gives or points you to program line number? Most of the time the 'Object not found' error is caused by referencing an object which is not existing in the form container.

Example:

thisform.TEXTBOX1.Value = something

The system will look for an object named TEXTBOX1 within the form container but if it is not existing, then the above error pops-up.
