Method 'Item' of object 'Forms' failed.

Question

I am using Access 2016. I have a function that checks if a form is open. The same code has been used for years with no issues:

    If SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acForm, strFormName) <> conObjStateClosed Then

If Forms(strFormName).CurrentView <> conDesignView Then

IsLoaded = True

End If

End If

All of a sudden it is failing with the message "Method 'item' of object 'Forms' failed." on the line If Forms(strFormName).CurrentView <> conDesignView Then. I have stepped through the code in debug mode and it works fine. As soon as I try to run I get an error...

Answer 1

I found the issue. Another problem elsewhere was causing the code to fail. When I fixed what I thought was a non-related error the problem went away...
