I am currently evaluating iGrid ActiveX for a project based on Microsoft Access 2010 because it looks very promising.
Unfortunately, I encountered some weird behaviour of iGrid that was quite hard to localize.

What I did:
I created a form with an iGrid ActiveX component on it. Every iGrid event I trigger (e.g. sorting columns or changing column order) causes an error.

After I have spent a couple of hours to fix the problem I have finally set up a new development environment.
My conclusion: the problem occurs as soon as the ‘Skype Outlook Toolbar Add-in’ is installed on the machine. Thenceforward, iGrid was not able to handle its events anymore (see error message below).

Translation of german error message using Microsoft Translator:

You have entered the expression ‘RequestEdit’ as a setting for the event property. This expression has caused an error: Error when attempting to load an ActiveX control in one of your forms or one of your reports.

• Expression probably neither returns the name of a macro nor the name of a user-defined function, nor [event procedure].

• An error occurred when evaluating a function, an event, or a macro.

This error occurs when an event could not be performed, because the location of the logic for the event cannot be evaluated.
If, for example, the OnOpen property of a form is set to = [field], this error occurs because the execution of macros or event name is expected when the event occurs.

Although it works for me now (after removing ‘Skype Outlook Toolbar Add-in’) I would highly appreciate it if you could check that issue and maybe fix the problem with Skype Add-in, although I am fully aware that it could also be a ‘bug’ of Skype Add-in.

I am using Windows 7 Professional 64bit, Office 2010 Professional, Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate (German language versions).


Answer of 10Tec:

The problem you are describing was reported some time ago by another customer. It's definitely a bug in the add-in, and we can do nothing with it. Imagine the situation: an add-in designated for Outlook prevents other ActiveX controls from working properly in MS Access!!

By the way, you can report this issue on our forum, in the iGrid ActiveX section (http://10tec.com/Forum/yaf_topics2_iGrid-ActiveX.aspx), so other users will be aware of this strange issue.
