runtime error 401 with access??

[hinchdog]

I have a program which uses an access database. the program for the most part works fine on other systems, however i've been told it sometimes gives a runtime "error 401" message when trying to update the database. two questions, what does this error mean? and two, how can it be fixed? thanks!

Did you try VBHelp or MSDN?

I got :

Can't show non-modal form when modal form is displayed (Error 401)


When a modal form is displayed, you can’t display another non-modal form. This error has the following cause and solution:

You tried to use the Show method or set the Visible property to True on a non-modal form when another form is already displayed as modal.
Use either the Unload statement or the Hide method on the modal form before attempting to use the Show method on a non-modal form.
