Re: Repost (Sorry!!!)- What is Automation ID?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Sorry but I don't understand what the Automation ID is? Is it connected with
Autonumber fields. Whilst the control I mentioned isn't an autonumber there
is an index field in one of the tables which is the source of a control on
the subform that is an autonumber.
Sorry but as I said I don't understand what Automation is. Also why didn't I
get this problem when running the database with Access 2000 but get it with
Access 2003?
Thanks

What's your table structure for this form? How is Automation ID derived if
it
is not an autonumber? Have you tried to enter another control other than
the
problem control and do you get the same error?

I'm getting errors when I start to complete a control on a form that has a
has a format "ABCD"/000/0000;0;_ that says the Automation ID is not
available. What does this mean?

The control is on a main form and is used to link a number of subforms
with
a control the same name. It is a next field, primary key but not
autonumber.

Anyone help?
Thanks
