Strange compile error on ComboBox.AddItem method
Posted on 2003-02-18
Access97: I created a fresh database with 1 form and no tables. The form has 1 control - an unbound combo box. You cannot get simpler than this.
Now, the form module has 1 line of code:
Me.ComboBox.Additem "Item1"
When I compile the database I get a compile error saying ".AddItem method or data member not found".
I think this might have something to do with having installed Access 2002 - I'm still running 97. However, from what I understand there should be no problem running both versions...
In case it helps, the References in Access 97 are:
1. Visual Basic for Applications (..\common files\MS shared\VBA\VBA332.dll)
2. MS Access 8.0 Object Library (..\Office\MSACC8.OLB)
3. MS DAO 3.51 Object Library (..\common files\MS shared\DAO\DAO350.dll)

The AddItem method does *not* work with form combo boxes in A97. It only works for command bar combo boxes unfortunately. You'll need to use alternative methods such as adding the item to the source table or the combo box's value list.
