"You can't assign a value to this object" error

The CCMDB.mdb will sometimes crash with the following error:

This usually happens if there is either

• an error on the first patient opened
• an error in the first patient filtered to, i.e. the first "complete" patient

Quick and dirty fix

One of the main causes for this error seems to be the ICU Var 2 - BRR/MAP check.

Error on first patient opened

If you are collecting on a PDA, review the data for the first patient and check to see if there are any obvious errors; if sofix them on the PDA. Otherwise, make a "fake patient" with a serial number 1 and enter a minimum data set for the patient. This will mean that the first patient opened doesn't give an error, and the next patient on the list will display errors properly rather than crashing.

Error on first filtered patient

Navigate to the patient without the filter and correct the error.

Background

Problem is caused by the error checker trying to set fields in a form to yellow before the form is fully opened. This is due to the chronological order in which events are run. The event that triggers the checks has to be right as the form opens, and at this point, the event that causes this is before the form finishes opening. Tina is not sure how to fix this problem at this time, hence the work-around above.
