Hello, I have excel vba macro to update access table. this works in one PC, but, crashes in other PC. the configuration of PC is same. could anybody please help?


VBA Code:
Private Sub LabUpdate_Click()
    
  
    If Me.Department.value = "" Then
        MsgBox "Select a record from List to update"
        Call LabClear_Click
        Exit Sub
    End If
     
     If Me.ComplDate.value = "" Then
        Me.ComplDate.BackColor = vbRed
        MsgBox "Enter Date", vbCritical
        Exit Sub
    End If
     
    If Me.LabEmp.value = "" Then
        Me.LabEmp.BackColor = vbRed
        MsgBox "Please enter Employee name", vbCritical
        Exit Sub
    End If
    
     Sheets("Ctables").Range("u3").value = Me.ComplDate.value
    
    
    '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
        
    Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection
    Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset
    Dim qry As String
        Dim Source As String
 
        Source = Me.Source.value
    
        cnn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & Source
    
    If Me.txtId.value <> "" Then
        qry = "SELECT * FROM TBL_ClabInput WHERE ID = " & Me.txtId.value
    Else
        qry = "SELECT * FROM TBL_ClabInput Where ID = 0"
    End If
    
    rst.Open qry, cnn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
    
    If rst.RecordCount = 0 Then
        rst.AddNew
    End If
    
    rst.Fields("CompletedTime").value = CDate(Me.ComplDate.value)
    rst.Fields("AnalysisBy").value = Me.LabEmp.value
    rst.Fields("Lab_Remarks").value = Me.LabRmrks.value
    rst.Fields("TimeToComplete").value = Me.TimeToCmplt.value 'VBA.Format(Val(Me.ComplDate.Value) - Val(Me.txtDate.Value), "HH:mm")
    rst.Fields("Comp_Shift").value = Sheets("Ctables").Range("v3").value
'    rst.Fields("BlankHourSamples").value = Sheets("Ctables").Range("v4").value
    
    
    rst.Update
    rst.Close
    cnn.Close
    
Call ClearAll_Click
     Sheets("Ctables").Range("u3").value = ""
    
ArchiveDbFile
     
    MsgBox "Updated Successfully", vbInformation
    Call List_box_Data
End Sub

I can't see anything in that code that should cause Excel to crash, I'm afraid.
Hi RoryA, Is there anything I have to check in the PC in which the excel stops working when the macro is executed?
Surprisingly the same macro works on other PC with same PC configuration..!

Excel Facts

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
Are you using or defining the word 'value' anywhere, i was trying to work out why your .value is not .Value all the way through the code. I have seen this before when the word value is used as a variable somewhere in the code.

It's interesting that it fails on the first on that contains an underscore...
Hi Georgiboy, I have not defined the 'value'.. it is automatically changes to 'value' when I enter it as 'Value', especially in this coding. in other macros it is displayed as 'Value' only.

There must be something different about the two machines but, as I said, I can't see any reason that that code would cause Excel to actually crash.

If you run Excel in safe mode (hold down the Ctrl key while starting Excel and answer Yes to the prompt) then run the workbook, does it work, or still crash.

Hi RoryA, Thanks for your input. I will sure try that.
I have found one difference in both the PCs. The PC where macro works has the MS Office 32 bit and other where it dose not work is having MS Office 64 bit !! The macro was created with MS Office 32 bit. Is there any possibility to run this in 64 bit MS Office? what code corrections required for this? could you please suggest?

I don't recall if there is a 64bit compatible version of the Windows Common Controls-2, which you have referenced. Are you actually using controls from that?

I have not used such controls. But, the only difference I found is the 32 bit vs 64 bit. Now, I am trying to load 32 bit MS Office to that particular PC with the help of IT team. Need to check if it works fine after loading 32 bit MS office.

Hi RoryA, After changing the MS Office to 32 bit pack the macro is working fine.
Thanks a lot for your support and guidance...
