Hi,

We have started to maintain an Access/2000 database app which is running
on a server. It is split into FE/BE but, unfortunately, the split is
silly and there are tables in the front end which are required by
eveyone so we can't run the FE on individual machines yet.

That aside, there are a few forms which try and position themselves
automatically when activated and deactivated. The Activate/Deactivate
event is code with various "docmd.moveto 0,0" "docmd.restore" type commands.

This seems to have generally worked ok. However, we have made a couple
of changes to the db and now, when a user switches quickly from one form
to an other, they can generate errors such as:
"You can't carry out this action at this time" or
"Application defined or object defined error"

When I choose debug, I usually, but not always am pointed at one of the
various .moveto, .restore type lines. Sometimes, no line is highlighted
and the stack is empty. In these case, I have put debug.print staments
in to see where things are getting and it is usually reaching but not
passing a docmd.restore line.

The changes we have made have no positioning changes and we haven't
adjusted anything that we can see in this area, but it seems to have
exacerbated the problem.

I understand that docmd.restore or the moveto would only be available if
the restore or move menu option is available tot he window. So, I assume
that the errors I am getting are because thes menu options aren't
available. Running through the logic of the code, however, suggests that
they should be if all is in sync.

Does anyone any ideas, hints, tips as to where to look for this .. or am
I looking at a synchronising problem within access if the users clicks
too fast. (And yes, I have asked them to click slower .. but, well, they
 are users, aren't they !)

Appreciate any suggestions...

Cheers
