RE: function doesn't return value - SOMETIMES!



Hello Kevin,

It seems the calling stack has some issues. This could occur if the
database is corrupted or if there is issues inside the function called
which overwrites the stack by mistake. Did you perform sth special in the
function? If not, I suggest that you create a new database, and import the
objects from the original one to test.

Also, pelase make sure you have installed the latest Jet driver.
