This is an Access db to track leave slips. To enter new time we have a form with a combo box, choose a name in the combo box, then a subform shows that employee's info from our timeoff table, and lets you enter new time off. This works fine in Access 2002, however in Access 2003 the first field you try to enter data in (in the subform) pops this error: 'A problem occured while Microsoft Office Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control. Close the OLE server and restart it outside of Microsoft Access. Then try the original operation again in Microsoft Access.' This happens once per record, and only on the first field you type into. The data does end up in the table, this just makes the data entry really irritating. I've tried repairing, changing file format from 2000 to 2002/2003, reinstalling Office. Google points to one page that says something about corruption, and one MS page blaming Norton AV (killing my NAV processes didn't correct anything). Anyone know why this would pop up in 2003, but not 2002?
