■ The object specified does not have the right type value.
 
■ More than one condition can cause this error. For exammple:
 
  • PRINT Command1
 
    In this statement, Command1 is the name of a command
    button; it it does not have a "printable" value. Use
    the PRINTFORM method to print a form and its visible
    controls.
 
  • SHOW Form2
 
    This syntax is not valid. Use Form2.SHOW to show Form2.
 
  • MyButtonParent$ = Command1.Parent
 
    The Parent property can be used to reference an object's
    properties, events, and methods. The value of the Parent
    property is not available at run time.
 
■ If you need additional help, move the cursor to a keyword
