[Solved] Runtime error after change to split database

[CarltonM]

Recently converted my database to a spit database as per viewtopic.php?f=83&t=65980
However; I now get a run time errors which did not occur before.
The database relies on forms and underlying code for data entry.
The error to show up is on the previously working function below;

Code: Select all

sub DebugText(strmessage as string)
'
' Display the supplied text in the Debug message text box.
'
'=====================================================
' Standard block to recover control object by name
'=====================================================
	Dim oDoc As Object	 	'Current document
	Dim oDocCtrl As Object	'current document control
	Dim oDBtextCtrl As Object' DebugText box control	
	Dim oForms As Object	'Forms object

	oDoc = ThisComponent	'Current document
	oDocCtrl=oDoc.GetCurrentController() 'Current document controller
	oForms = ThisComponent.DrawPage.Forms(0) ' Current Form
 	oDBtextCtrl =oForms.getbyName("DebugText")' Recover the DebugText control object
'=====================================================
	
	oDBtextCtrl.text = strmessage	'Set the DebugText control text equal to the message

end sub

This now gives the following run time error;
BASIC runtime error.
Property of method not fount: text.
at the line

Code: Select all

oDBtextCtrl.text = strmessage

Why might this have occurred?

[Tutorial] Introduction into object inspection with MRI

Thanks for the pointer towards MRI, a useful tool.
It confirmed the code was correct to start with. I thought this was the case as it was used successfully elsewhere n the code.

I ran the code on my W7 machine at work at it works correctly without any modifications. The same code is now running (unchanged) on
Mint 18.1

There was another error of some mis-matched brackets which some versions spotted and some didn't.
