VBA Run-time Error 424 Object Require
VBA Object Required Error: Not sure why this isn't working. I've used this code in the past.
--------------------------
Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me.NewRecord Then Exit Sub
Me.CursorHold.SetFocus
If Me.SelYear = "ALL" Then
Call LockUnlockForm(True, "#D5D5D5")
Me.lblLock.Visible = True
Else
Call LockUnlockForm(False, "#FFFFFF")
Me.lblLock.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
--------------------------
Private Function LockUnlockForm(ynEnabled As Boolean, strColor As String)
If IsNull(Me.ProjectName) Then Exit Function
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
If ctrl.Tag = "LockUnlock" Then
If ctrl.ControlType = acTextBox Then
crtl.BackColor = strColor <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Run-time Error 424 Object Required
End If
ctrl.Locked = ynEnabled
End If
Next
End Function

Even with a hex value?
Even with a hex value?Yep, an hexadecimal value is just a different representation of a number (base 16) than you usually see (base 10).
I suggest that you use the RGB() function when working with color, it is more readable and have more meaning than a pure number.

Tried with long....
If Me.SelYear = "ALL" Then
Call LockUnlockForm(True, RGB(213, 213, 213))
Me.lblLock.Visible = True
Else
Call LockUnlockForm(False, RGB(255, 255, 255))
Me.lblLock.Visible = False
End If

Thank you but it still bothers me.... the value on the long "color" is 14043909 and it is a text box - I have used this code before - in fact I copied it -- as I often do -- and it's got to be something stupid I'm missing...

Maybe use the Is operator ?
Else drag & drop the Ctrl variable in the spy window, and check that it is an expected control (a textBox).
If (ctrl Is Access.TextBox) Then
ctrl.BAckColor = lngColor
End IfElse drag & drop the Ctrl variable in the spy window, and check that it is an expected control (a textBox).
***STUPID ME!!!! TYPO!!!"Option Explicit" is the key.
You should add this at top of all your modules, and it should becomes a reflex.
Glad you got it all sorted out!
Also, Fabrice is very right. Try to remember to always add Option Explicit whenever you create a new module, it will save you many headaches in the long run!
