Error: Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator ‘<>‘.

This is a fairly easy error to fix :

Error 55 Option Strict On disallows operands of type Object for operator ‘<>‘. Use the ‘Is’ operator to test for object identity.

Chances are, you have a line of code like this:

If (Me._item <> Value) Then

Change it to this:

If Not (Me._item Is Value) Then

Of course, you could always try setting Option Strict off, but that is usually not the best practice.
