G'day Ben, One of the first things I try in this scenario is to SET MESSAGES ON and SET ERROR MESSAGES ON. (If this is on a user's machine you can do this via a menu option in your application.)
This will sometimes yield an helpful message prior to the one you are seeing. As well as that, try opening the form in designer, rather than through the application, that will tell you if it is a form corruption. Are you running in TRANSACTION mode? Is this app used on other machines? Is this problem specific to this machine? Does it occur after an identifiable incident? (Crash, power outage etc.) Is it always the same user on this machine?
