Compiler messages can appear when you're working with the script compiler. When a problem occurs, the message will be displayed in a dialog box. After you've read the message, click OK to close the message dialog box. The insertion point will return to the line in the script that caused the alert.
Some messages specify the resource, such as a field or form, that caused the error. Italic type is used to indicate items that will be substituted when the message is displayed.
Many compiler messages result from misspellings when referencing items in a script. To ensure that an item is referenced properly, you can use the Names feature in the Script Editor window. Click the Names button in the Script Editor and find the name of the item you're referencing. When you locate the item, highlight it and click Select; the Script Editor window will reappear. Place the insertion point in the location where the name is referenced and choose Paste from the Edit menu. The name will appear (qualified, if necessary) in the location where you placed the insertion point.
