I have a database that I created in Access 2003 that creates a report. The report runs fine when I run it on my computer using Access 2003, but gets and error 'There was an error executing the command.' when I try to run it on another machine running Access 2007. I don't know where to look even to find out what this error means and can't find any posts on it. Which brings up a general question on the search feature on this site... When I try to search for key words error executing command I get all posts with any of these words. Is there an option to search for only posts with all of these words? I see it in the FAQ section, but not here. kessmiller View Public Profile Find More Posts by kessmiller 03-21-2011, 02:54 PM #2 gemma-the-husky Super Moderator Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: UK Posts: 13,140 Thanks: 50 Thanked 885 Times in 857 Posts Re: What does 'error executing the command' mean? i take it you are using the MS switchboard that message is a generic message for any switchboard command that fails maybe the switchboard item isn't set up correctly. maybe the target doesn't exist. maybe the target form/report just didn't open. they all produce a similar cryptic message. i actually modify my switchboard code to provide a more meaningful response. try opening the form/report directly - see if it opens. if it does, then there may be something wrong in the switchboard code. __________________ Dave (Male!)

OK. Big duh moment. I had not installed the ODBC links needed on my users PC. They're on mine, so I didn't think of them. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. How would I edit the switchboard messages to be more informative? I'm not t

Solved Receiving the error: There was an error executing the command Posted on 2010-08-11 MS Access http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=207013 1 Verified Solution 7 Comments 2,132 Views Last Modified: 2013-11-28 This database began using Access 2000. In 2009, I upgraded to 2007 and because there was no need to buy copies for all PC's, put MS Access Runtime 2007 on the client PC's. Everything ran perfectly until about 4-6 weeks ago when I made a major change to our inventory table by splitting it https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26397094/Receiving-the-error-There-was-an-error-executing-the-command.html into a parent table and a child table as it should have been. Because of this obviously queries and forms had to be updated. Everything works perfectly on my PC but on the PC's using Runtime there are three forms that will not open. The error message is: 'There was an error executing the command' I use the basics of basic code. For example the most elaborate my code gets is: Private Sub RcvROInv_Click() On Error GoTo Err_RcvROInv_Click Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String stDocName = "frmRcvRO" stLinkCriteria = "[RONumber]=" & Me![RONumber] DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria Exit_RcvROInv_Click: Exit Sub Err_RcvROInv_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_RcvROInv_Click End Sub Which is basic. The only other things I do are again simple things like: Private Sub Actual_Weight_AfterUpdate() Me.Weight = Me.Actual_Weight * 1.3 Me.WeightConversion = IIf(Me.Weight < 1, Round(Me.Weight * 16), Round(Int(Me.Weight + 0.9999999999))) Me.WeightConversion = IIf(Me.Weight < 1, Me.WeightConversion, Me.WeightConversion * 16) End Sub I do not ever use macros and have made sure to compile the VB code before creating the distributio

I designed this database a few years ago to track the bids we submit. This was done before Office 2010. The database works. The table view is there, but no switchboard that conducts certain searches. I am copying and pasting the VBA code below. If you want the whole database, I can email it to you. I thank you again for your ms access 2007 help. Juliana / McKinney Steel Inc.

And write your email address (optional) Similar posts... Applying Control Source before executing next line of code I have some code which sets the control source of a text box. Later in my code I want to use the value of that text box. However sometimes I get an error. Generally if I run the code it works okay but if in break mode it doesn't work. Now I'm running the code in a slightly different way, I keep getting the error. I think what's happening is that the control source isn't being applied until after the code has finished executing and so when I try to use the value of the text box it's producing an error. Switchboard error on a particular page Using Access 2003. I have three different groups. I am using a switchboard to organize things. I have several reports for each group that I run on pages run from the switchboard. One particular page gives me an error "There was an error executing the command." I don't understand if its the same switchboard with different pages why it would give an error on onepage and not the other? They are basically the same report for each group. Command Object - Microsoft Access (ADO) I'm really struggling to understand why we would use a command object at all. Why not just execute individual commands such as connecting to a database and updating it. Would anyone be able to explain the actual reason for creating the command object at all. What differentiates it from just executing individual methods or SQL commands. I've searched the web and am finding it very hard to understand why we would use it at all Executing a VB script to run a Macro I've made a macro that automates a load process and I'm trying to figure out a way to automate the running of this macro :-) I've been working with a VBS file, but not with much luck.
