Q105518

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1
 * Microsoft Access Distribution Kit, version 1.1

-

SYMPTOMS
When you run a macro that has a DoMenuItem that contains the Macro Run commands, a general protection (GP) fault or "Out Of Stack Space" error will occur.

RESOLUTION
Use the RunMacro action instead of the DoMenuItem action to run a macro.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.

Steps to Reproduce Problem
  Create the following macro:

     Macro Name    Action RunMe        DoMenuItem

RunMe Actions -     DoMenuItem Menu Bar: Macro Menu Name: Macro Command: Run  Save and then close the macro. Run the macro.

A GP fault will occur. If the macro is still open in Design view when you run it, an "Out Of Stack Space" error will occur.
