Appreciate your reply and time but this is what frustrates me with Microsoft Customer Service. They directed me to the forum to help resolve my issue but I am my expertise is not in the arena. I actually have zero idea what you were suggesting.

And I am afraid not being able to discuss with technically experienced individuals is going to keep me from resolving an issue that I believe Microsoft Customer Service should have been able to diagnose.

Thanks again, tho.

OK so take one step at a time and hopefully we'll be able to help you solve this issue.
1. Do you know how to compile your code?
2. Do you understand how to add error handling or how to step through code to see where it breaks?

Please post the code which causes your error

  Access is unlike other Office applications in that it REQUIRES a minimum level of knowledge to create viable relational database applications. And that means we all have to invest time and effort in acquiring that minimum level of knowledge.
  No amount of technical support is going to replace it, either.
  So, you have responded "no" to the questions about compiling code and about error handling.
  
  In order to get the help you need, the next step is going to be sharing the code where this failure appears. ALL of that code, not just the single line that appears to be failing.
  
  Thanks for providing sufficient detail to allow us to help.
