MS Access error

MS access file shows an error"The expression on mouse down you entered as the event property

setting produced the following error:invalid character" while clicking any button in the forms.The same files can access from other pc's.Every files are programmed with vb code.

I did the following;

1.File > Options > Add ins > COMS Add ins > click Go >

2.Trust center settings>macro settings>enable all macros

3.Reinstall MS office

4.compile vb code in one of the access file-> it shows an error "invalid character" (same file can access from other pc with no errors)

*PC : Windows 10

*Microsoft office 2016

      As I can't see your form all I can do is make an informed guess.
      It sounds like your form is corrupted.
      Try decompiling your project which will remove any compilation code including anything that is corrupted,
      If that doesn't help, create a new form

    what do you mean by:
    "The same files can access from other pc's."

    there is only 1 file being accessed by many?
    if that is true, then it is a no, no.
    you need to split the db and give each Users their own copy of the Front End (FE).

    This may be a long shot, but because you are dealing with different languages, Japanese, English, and apparently Chinese, it might be good to ensure that the non-working computer supports the language(s) you need.
