Re: Access can't run marco or callback function 'fDesign'
Jeff Conrad
Here is the fix:
>>>>>>
fDesign is a custom function for a RotateText method. At some point you
have either:
1) Imported my function into your MDB, added a custom Menu Item to call
the function, and now you have deleted the Code module containing the
fDesign function.
2) You have imported the ToolBars from the sample RotateText MDB but not
the code.
If you have not made significant modifications to the native Access
ToolBars then simply:
1. Right-click on the top menu bar and select Customize.
2. On the tab that says "Customize" there is a list of all the menu
bars/toolbars. Check one at a time, and hit the button that says
"Reset."
This will reset all the menu bars/toolbars back to their standard
layout.

I followed your instructions to the letter and now the problem is gone!
Thank you.
I did download several sample databases from the Leban website but have not
tried installing any code into my databases. I did open all the sample
databases to see how they worked. Could just opening the databases have
changed my tool bars? What happens if later I do want to use some of that
code? Will this problem come back, even if I only open the databases? Will
the code work in my databases if I have to reset the toolbars again after I
install?
I am in the middle of converting several old databases and needed help in a
hurry because the company plans to remove Access 97 from all the machines by
EOY. I downloaded the sample database because I figured if I have to convert
perhaps I should also improve.

Cool.
Good to hear.

I'm not completely sure of all the specifics of what code/toolbar referenced
the FDesign code. Stephen would be best to answer on that. It is quite
possible that Stephen has removed that reference from the affected sample
files since the time you downloaded those other files. I'm not sure on that
either. Resetting the toolbars is pretty easy anyway, assuming you do not
make modifications to them (which is a good idea anyway.)

Sounds like a lot of fun and should keep you quite busy I'm sure!
