error passing object to procedure w/ VBA in Access 2000

Ok,

I am trying to pass a Control object to a sub but I get this error on the line of the function call

Error 438: "Object doesn't support property or method"

it fails on this line

Code:

---

DisableControl(cmdApply)

---

here's the function heading

Code:

---

sub DisableControl(ctl as Control)
...
End Sub

---

can anyone provide input as to why this doesn't work?
The error it gives has me to believe that VB can't find the method in the class but I'm not trying to add a class method. I'd just like to reference the object in the procedure. Thanks

Hi Tariqc, welcome to VBForums!

I'm not sure if this will eliminate the error, but your calling of the function is incorrect.

Instead of DisableControl(cmdApply), you should have one of these:

VB Code:

Call DisableControl(cmdApply)
DisableControl cmdApply

thanks a lot that solved my problem. :afrog:
