Error Message - what does it mean.

Today has not been a good day ! !

When I click on a button, any button, on a form, I am getting error message as below:

The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Invalid outside procedure.

*The expression may not result in the name of a macro, the name of a user-defined procedure, or [Event Procedure].
*There may have been an error evaluating the function, event or macro.

I can close the form, reopen it, and everything is all right for a while. It tends to happen when I am debugging code, and an error occurs. This seems to stop any code for further events firing. It is now happening ramdonly as well.

I suspect it might be corruption, so I have compacted, repaired, used Jet Comp, created a new database and imported all tables, forms, objects, etc. into the clean db, all to no avail - the error still occurs.

My own code is not causing this because control is not getting as far as even my first line.

Does anyone know what this error means?

Aidan Hughes.
