Using Access 97, I have a single-form allow-additions form where a couple of bound fields are auto-populated 'on current' and a couple of other bound fields are left to be populated by the user (me!).
At the end of an input session, I can press ESC and then close the form OK. But if I forget to press ESC and try to close the form, I have an invalid incomplete record on screen.
How do I indicate that the new record isn't wanted? I have tried stuff like
If Me!txtRequiredBoundField = Null then
SendKeys "(ESC)"
End If
to no avail.
I have a form and a subform in it. I added New cancel button in the form so that the the user can cancel the record creation and no record will be inserted in the parent table.
But when details are entered in the subform (a datasheet) row records will be created in the subform table. what is the correct method or how to cancel these records if the user choose to click cancel button on the parent form.
I am trying to add a barcode to a report of mine that I can then scan in order to escape/close that report. The reason for this is my work station will not have a keyboard. The user will simply scan a work order number, this will bring up a report on screen with work order detail. Then to get back to main screen to scan next work order I need to be able to escape/close the current report without using a keyboard.
Hi, I want my user to be able to "cancel" his entry. At first I tried just deleting the record they were working on. But that added numbers in the auto number "ID" field, and I also needed the feature for editing, so deleting wasn't an option. As of now I have something that works, but is kind of messy. I made a mirror "temp table" that I write the record to. If they "save" i append/update the record to the regular table, then delete it from the temp, if they "cancel" I just Delete it from the temp. Was wondering if there was a cleaner way to do this ?
Hello All, I am finding this one difficult so felt I should post my issue. I have status field on my form. It is a bound field. A combobox - inactive, active. I wanted the field to do the following when changed If change then msgbox = Please enter reason in activity notes a vbYesCancel If they select it calls the activity notes form - this portion works. If they select cancel I tried making the field do form.field.undo (Me.statusid.undo) - something similar Cancel = True to reset the field to the original state. This fails and says my object is not valid I would be happy to take any suggestions . As always thanks in advance.
After looking through the forums, i couldn' really see the answer i was looking for. I have a form, that users can enter in details (with an auto-number created which is assigned to each record). Once they have entered the detials, theres a 'save' button which will save the record - which is fine. I also have a 'return' button which should return to the previous form and doesnt save the record. But as it stands, the record is saved when i click this return button. How do i make it so that the record isnt saved untill the save button is clicked? so if i return from the screen (pressing the return button), the record isnt saved (i.e. a cancel button).

I am trying to get my program to cancel a send e-mail command if certain things aren't filled out. Instead it is supposed to pop up with a message and then put the pointer in that field. The message box pops up, but the e-mail command is not cancelled. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

I have a Report linked with a SubReport. I would like to cancel viewing this Report if my SubReport Has No Data. i tried this code but the report just shows up. Any Ideas?
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer) On Error GoTo Err_Trapper If Reports![qryRepCurOrgProjsSR].Report.HasData = 0 Then Cancel = True End If Err_Trapper: MsgBox Err.Description Exit Sub End Sub
Ok i got an error message. Yoy entered an expression that has an invalid Reference to the hasData property.
Ive tried using a text bpx on my main report and putting a control source as
=IIf(qryRepCurOrgProjsSR.Report.HasData,0,"Nothing") Then in my Report Open Event i put the code below. But it fails me still.
If trim(Me.MyText) = "Nothing" Then MsgBox "The Report Is Cancelling....." Cancel = True Exit Sub End If
I have a subform which asks a user to confirm the update before it happens - if the user selects no - then the update is cancelled.
When the parent (they are not related record wise) form is closed the update on the subform is attempted - if the user selects no - how can I cancel the close of the parent form. At the moment a message saying "Cannot save the record at this time - changes may be lost". Which I don't want to see.
I have docmd.sendobject that opens Outlook to send an email, etc. However if the user does not send the email and cancels out of the message Access is asking the user if they want to debug. How can I simply have Access return to where the user was before they hit the command button that launched Outlook. I don't want them to go into the code. In fact I don't even want a message of any type - I thought I could trap the cancel somehow and code for it...
I have pasted the code that SJ posted on another thread that any changes to a record will ask the user to save before closing the form, this located in the beforeupdate event.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If MsgBox("Save changes?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo) = vbNo Then Cancel = True End Sub
The problem i am getting is that if the user selects no it pops up another message saying "You can't save the record at this time" followed by a description. How do i prevent this second message appearing i cannot find a thread with this in?

Hi all, I have a textbox with an input mask for an id number, so if I begin adding numbers I get an error message if they're not in correct format- this is fine- but I want the user to be able to cancel the entry and exit the form, but when I click the cancel button I get an error message about the id format- anyone know how I can allow cancel to override this? thanx
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
i dont want a user to be able to change a value in a combo box if a textbox is not null. im not sure what to add on the onenter event. is there not somthing like cancel=true
am using VB to check for an id if it is a new record. i have a message that pops up.
If IsNull(Form_myform![ID].Value) Then response = MsgBox("You have not entered your ID. Do you intend for this to be a record?", vbYesNoCancel, "id check")
but how do i get it to not enter the record into the table if no or cancel is clicked?
I have the below code that when a user will make a change in a combo box, it will pop up a message asking if they want to do so (to make them aware of it). How could I change it so there is a extra button cancel and when they hit cancel, the combo box will keep the value, if OK is hit, then make the change.
Code: If Me.Business = "TYPE 1" And Me.Case = "Sent Email" Then MsgBox ("You really want to change this!!!") End If
