VB6 Compile Error

[fpojre]

When attempting to make an exe file I receive a compile error.

If datSetDisplay1.Recordset.EOF And datSetDisplay1.Recordset.BOF Then
    datSetDisplay1.Recordset.Close
    pbarReport.Value = 0
    rtbReports.Text = Chr(13) & "                                DATA ERROR:   LETTERARCHIVE TABLE EMPTY OR NOT FOUND."
    Exit Sub

In the third line the ".Value = " is highlighted.

This isn't my program but I'm trying to make a change to a form. This project built the source file and output files fine, but ran into this issue when attempting to make the exe file.

If I tell the program to ignore this line, then the same issue appears further down the code.
Please advise. Help is appreciated.
