Error with After Update event procedure in Access Application

Hi I have a form in Ms Access with Dropdownlists . If i select a value from one list the other dropdown should populate the value corresponding to that. but whenever i select the first dropdown iam getting the error message "the expression AfterUpdate event property produce the following error ...blah ....blah ......" . I attached the image of that error with this. Please take a look and help me in this. i have been struggling with this error and the business user is pushing me to fix this quickly.

Private Sub cboUser_AfterUpdate()

ASKER

its not highlighting anything , the After_update event is not firing . Whenever i choose a value from the dropdown, immediately iam getting that error message . its not going to the cboUser_AfterUpdate().

Rey Obrero (Capricorn1)

can you post the Row source of the combo box.

SELECT DISTINCT RequestNumber, RequestNoID FROM RequestT ORDER BY RequestNumber DESC

can you comment all the lines like the one below and try again if you will see the message.

Yes iam getting that message box cboUser_AfterUpdate.

Rey Obrero (Capricorn1)

where are you executing the codes? in VB not in Access?

lets find the erring line by removing the ' from the codes starting from the top.

unremark this

Set lstExistLoaded.Recordset = Nothing
lstExistLoaded.Requery
Set lstReport.Recordset = Nothing
lstReport.Requery
DBPix204.ImageViewFile ("")
cboSample_ID = Null
Set cboSample_ID.Recordset = Nothing
txtSampleID = Null

then try again by selecting a value from the combo box

ok i uncommented out those lines, i got the message box .

Rey Obrero (Capricorn1)

no error?

I think something with the DBPix204.ImageViewFile("")

If i uncomment that line and assign the dropdown value to show it in the textbox. Then its not working . If i comment the DBpix204.ImageViewFile(""), then the dropdown value is showing in the textbox. But i am not sure why the dbpix is not working. I referenced the Active x control for that in the project, but why still its not recognizing.
