    Communication Error

    I'm getting the following error: A problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control.

    It happens whenever any of the events are triggered on the subform on the third tab of my tab control. The other two tabs trigger the events just fine. Any ideas what could be causing this?

    Thanks!

    Have you an activeX control on this subform like a calendar control?

      Yes, I have a calendar control. I also have calendar controls on the first two tabs, but they are working correctly. I have no foreign characters in the third tab either.

      Should I just try to recreate the subform on the third tab? When I remove the subform, there are no errors.

        The ActiveX Calendar control is famous for creating this error. It happens without warning and there is no real fix for it. Most developers use a custom application instead like this one by Allen Browne.
