Cancel Closing The Form/App

Mar 10, 2006

I'm looking for a way to cancel the closing of a form/app. I added a button asking if the user is sure they wish to exit, and am having difficulty finding the correct code to cancel the close event.

Here is my code

Dim ians As Integer
ians = MsgBox("Are you sure you wish to exit?", vbYesNo, "Exit App")
If ians = vbNo Then
DoCmd.CancelEvent
DoCmd.OpenForm "orderlist", acNormal
Exit Sub
End If


Can help or send me down the right path?

Thanks

Cancel Validation Rule Message Boxes On Closing Form

Oct 26, 2006

I want to close a form and I am using

Private Sub Form_Close()
Application.Quit
End Sub

as the form opens with the access application window hidden, and I found that the .ldb file didn't close if I simply used the X.

I have a series of fields with validation rules which activate on exit. One of these validation rules is in the box which gets focus when the form opens. This means that I get the validation text error message boxes when I close the form with the X.

If I have started to complete the form, I get a whole host of error messages and validation messages when I try to shut it with the X.

Is there a way of closing the form and cancelling or ignoring all error message boxes. I want the user to be able to close the form if they have decided not to fill it in after all, or have got part way through and want to cancel.

I would really appreciate any help, I am sure this is a very basic question and I should probably be able to find the answer, but I can't and I am very fed up!

Cancel Out Of Edit Form

Nov 1, 2006

Hi
I have a form with avout 4 fields based upon a query to allow user to edit an entry if needed.
I want to put a cancel button on so that if they change their mind after having changed a field it reverts to its original value - so for instance they decide to change a land line phone number to a mobile, exit the field but then have a brain storm and decide not to do this so hit the cancel button.
At the moment my cancel button just closes the form (and accepts the overwrite) which would be fine if I am using ADO but not if I am using a bound form.
I am sure there is a simple answer (since I cannot be the only person who thinks this option might be a good idea). I am just not sure how to look for it.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks

Want To Cancel Prompt, Select No And Still Closes Form

Aug 14, 2007

Hi All,

I have a pop up form that requires me to fill out all 4 fields of the form. When I don't, I get a prompt telling me which field(s) I've forgotton to fill in and allows me the option to Cancel (Yes or No) and if i decide yes it wont save and will close the form. BUT when I say No (Don't cancel), it still closes out the form and I obviously don't want that. I don't know if it might have to do with my macro button either? Any clue?

Thanks in Advance!

MY CODE:

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim blnError As Boolean
Dim strError As String

strError = "You are missing data for "

If IsNull(Me.[Account Number]) Or Me.[Account Number] = "" Then
blnError = True
strError = strError & "Account Number,"
End If

If IsNull(Me.Contact) Or Me.Contact = "" Then
blnError = True
strError = strError & " Contact,"
End If

If IsNull(Me.Department) Or Me.Department = "" Then
blnError = True
strError = strError & " Department,"
End If

If IsNull(Me.Address) Or Me.Address = "" Then
blnError = True
strError = strError & " Address,"
End If

If blnError Then
strError = Left(strError, Len(strError) - 1)
If MsgBox(strError & vbCrLf & "Are you sure you want to cancel." & vbCrLf & "If you do, the info will not be added.", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Close Confirmation") = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End If
End Sub

Forms :: Cancel When Hitting Form X Button

May 9, 2013

Here's the setup:

- I have a parent form bound to a parent table with a subform bound to a subtable.

- The parent does not allow data entry and has its sole field filled by a listbox.

- The subForm is a data entry form which contains two buttons in addition to it's fields: btnCancel and btnOK

-btnOK checks to ensure that all required fields are filled out and then saves and closes the parent form. - ALL OK

- btnCancel closes undoes any changes andcloses the form - ALL OK

The issue I have is with the user utilizing the Parent form x button to close the form. For uniformity I would like to not remove this button but would like it to prompt the user whether to discard the changes if the form is dirty.

I attempted the following on both the parent and sub forms to no avail. I can't even get the event to trigger:

Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim rspSaveorDiscard As VbMsgBoxResult
rspSaveorDiscard = vbYes

If Me.Dirty Then
intSaveorDiscard = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to close without saving?", vbYesNo, "Discard Changes")

[Code] .....

I was under the impression that when closing a form using the x button the before_update event was triggered first, then the close event, then the unload event. How should I handle this?

Modules & VBA :: Button To Cancel Entry On A Form

Jul 17, 2013

I'm looking for a button that cancels an entry on a form. I want everything within that form to be cancelled including the Primary Key field. I currently have a button the uses the me.Undo code and then automatically closes, however this only clears the data that has been entered by the user. So when the user re-opens the form the primary key field is showing a 2 instead of a 1.

Forms :: Creating A Form That Require User Input To Confirm / Cancel Changes

Jun 24, 2013

I am fairly new to Access and my "changed" position at work requires that I learn much more about the software. My first challenge is to learn how to make an existing form prompt a user to confirm or cancel changes. I don't know anything about coding but I searched online and found some coded that is supposed to make this happen. I went to "form properties'' and typed this (below) in BeforeUpdate:

'If the form data has changed a message is shown asking if
'the changes should be saved. If the answer is no then
'the changes are undone

On Error GoTo BeforeUpdate_Error

[Code] ....

BeforeUpdate_Exit:
Exit Sub

BeforeUpdate_Error:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume BeforeUpdate_Exit

After saving changes to the design, I tested by changing the record. I received no prompt.

Forms :: Access 2010 - Opening New Form And Closing Current Form?

Mar 14, 2013

I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)

I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.

All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.

Private Sub cmdBack_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs)
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3"
End Sub

The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.

Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?

Forms :: How To Use Data On A Form When Running Code Before Closing The Form

Feb 4, 2014

I have a bound form with a few fields. I would like to run a sub after some of these fields are modified, but not others. I would like it to run only once, after user finishes his work on the form.

When using the Unload event - the form on the form is not there anymore (or did I get something wrong?).

Is there a way to trap Data on form just before the form closes?

Closing A Form Vs. Really Closing A Form

Feb 17, 2005

This is related to some advice I received some time ago <a href="http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=64818">here<a>

I am runnign some code, it performs some applications, then, if a Count Field is greater than 1, a form opens as a dialog, displaying some information:

Dim A As String
A = "NewForm"
If Me.[Count] > 0 Then
DoCmd.OpenForm A, acNormal, , , , acDialog
End If
If Me.Continue = "No" Then
Exit Sub

End If

The new form opens, and you can either view it, and click continue, which will run the rest of the code, or you can click quit, which updates Me.Continue to "No", and then it exits.

The problem is, when it exits the Sub, it doesn't really stop the code, it just leaves things kind of hanging. When I try to run the code again, I get:

3321 - The database engine could not lock the table 'NewTable' becuase it is already in use by another person or process.

Another symptom - The original form where I click to start running the code, has two date fields. Normally, when this form opens, they are blank, but when I exit the sub, as above, the previous dates I entered are still sitting there.

How can I make the forms really close?

Form Closing Behavior

Mar 14, 2005

Not sure what to call this "phenomenon" so haven't had any luck searching for an answer.

I have a form (form1) that has a close button with code behind it. When the button is clicked, it takes a few seconds for the code to run. When form1 closes, all is well up until: There is another form (form2) that is open behind form1. When form1 closes, part of it is still visible over form2.

Hope this makes sense. Any way to solve?

What do I write instead of the X'es???

Modules & VBA :: Keep Form From Closing

Jun 16, 2014

I have a form that has some fields with validation rules, which are Not Is Null. I have a private function to validate records (here is a snipet)

Code:
Private Function ValidateRecord() As Boolean
ValidateRecord = False
Select Case Outcome
Case "Interpretation"
If IsNull(Me.[Date Provided]) Then
MsgBox [Date Provided].ValidationText
Exit Function
End If

[code]...

The form has a save and close button. I was wondering if there was a way to keep the form from closing if those fields are null. Right now, you click the button, the validation text pops up (it pops up twice too), and then the form closes.

I thought about maybe having the (If...Then, Inputbox)code in the Form_BeforeUpdate instead. If I do that, is there a way to do that for date textboxes and comboboxes where you choose the value instead of typing it?
