Form crashes unless I step through code

[JoDaCoda]

I have a form (access 97) that has a button that opens a word document using the shell command. It has worked fine until we upgraded to Office 2003. Now the form crashes when I click on the button unless I put a break in the vba code and step through the sub, and then it runs just fine. Has anyone else had this problem before?

When you say "crashes" do you get any errors?

I get the standard XP error message screen that MS Access has to shut down with the option to send the error to Microsoft. I was able to click debug and this is the error message:

Unhandled exception at 0x30188a43 in MSACCESS.EXE: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00693975.

I have done some looking and I am not able to find anything yet. You might double check your references. If no go try a repair on Office.

Sorry I could not be of more help, but if I find anything I will post back.

Thanks for the effort. Per your suggestion, I'm going to play around with the references to see if that helps any. Thanks again.
