Problem

With Total Access Analyzer 97 I get Error 2188: "The object you attempted to load from text has an invalid value for the property 'Top' on a rectangle." 

Solution

For Total Access Analyzer 97 the resolution to this is to locate the form that this error occurs on, and move the controls away from the top left edges of the form or section. This is rare, but it can be that the Microsoft Access code that is storing the information of where the controls are located is storing a negative number for the location of a control.

The resolution to this error is fairly easy to implement:

1. Locate the form that this error is occurring on in your database. The form will either have one control that spans the length of the form or several controls that are at the top most, and possibly the left most area of a specific section on the form.
2. Move all the controls 1/8th of an inch (approximate is fine) to the right and down.
3. Compile and save all modules and re-run Total Access Analyzer.
