I have a form that is loaded through a hyperlink from another form. On this form I have placed a command button which closes the form (DoCmd.Close) I have also used the full syntax including form name and no save prompt. When i close this form using the command button I get a request for two paramter values that are used in queries in this form (I don't want this to happen) when I click the close button on the control box "X" this doesn't happen also it doesn't happen if I use file close. This problem only occurs on some of the slower machines in my workplace, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The is one combo box on the form in question which is set to run a macro after update, this macro requeries the 52 list boxes on the form.
I am building a database to track employees. I have a form to input the personal information and want to close this form and open a new form to input the employee's training information. I have a cmd button to open the Training form for the individual, however I can not make it close the employee input form.
i am abit confused.. i have a save button on my form.. this is where field validation occurs and where the closeForm statement is (at the end). I need to keep the form's "X" button enabled.. how would i go about doing this exactly.. can i keep what i currently have (in the cmdSave_click event) and in the form_close event i can maybe have if me.dirty then... call my cmdSave_click event?.. Else.. closeform. Is this the right way to go about it??.. if so.. will my formClose statement (in my cmdSave_click event) be alright?

The database that I currently work with has the option chosen to compact and repair on close so that if I am not present when there is trouble the users can close the db and the problem is usually corrected. I currently have a close button on the Main switchboard that closes the db. Is there a way to make a button or another way that will close the db that will by pass the compact and repair choice? I know that I can use task manager, but that usually creates db1, db2 and so on. Thanks,
I use a close button to close a form. There is list box in this Form. If the list box is empty, then simly close the form. However, if there are projects in the list box, I want to give a warning. If the user say YES, then everything in the listbox will be deleted and the form will be closed. If user say NO, tehn the form will not be closed. They then can use anotehr button to save teh projects.
I wrote the follwing code. The delete portion itself works. But it seesm comfused with msgbox. Could you pelase help me correct this code? Thank you very much for your help.
lbDestination -- list box name
Private Sub Close_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Close_Click
If IsNull(Me.lbDestination) Then DoCmd.Close Exit Sub End If
If MsgBox("You have unsaved initiatives. Are you sure you want to close?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, _ "Delete?") = vbYes Then
Dim rsDestination As DAO.Recordset Set rsDestination = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tbInit", dbOpenDynaset)
rsDestination.MoveFirst Do While Not rsDestination.EOF
I have a database that uses a switchboard with a close button that runs several instructions before it exits. The problem is that some users have access to the database window and I need to prevent them from closing the database by hitting the X in the upper right.
Everytime i want to make some changes to my "Testing" Database , always got somebody using it / opening it...
I am trying to create a button , the function of the button is close "Testing" access database who using it or opening it , Example : 5 users included me in a company , when I click a button , 4 of them will received a notification with close "Testing" database message , can do that ?
Getting error '2450' when click Access close button to exit.
Run-time error '2450': ECN cannot find the referenced form 'frmLogin'.
Note: After login my login form is visible to, cause to get login user id into "frmECN" Form. But When I'm in "frmECN" Form and enter data then close to exit Access main close button I'm getting 2450 error.
I have a split form that's like a list of pending tasks. The data source is a linked SharePoint 2013 list where users submit requests. The user takes the information from each record and performs an action. When it is done, the user presses a button and the task status changes from "Pending" to "Processed". The form record source is based on a query that finds only records with a status of "Pending" so when the user changes the status of the task, it is removed from the list. It works fine except when there is only one task left in the work list. If the user processes the last task, the form refreshes and it goes to a new empty record and I get an error message that says I must enter a value into one of the required fields. I tried making the field non-required but it just creates an empty record in the table.
I am using the method from allen browne [URL] .... to open a form and add it to a collection and when removing it it closes. actually, usually it does work so but i have now a form which does not close until i am hitting the reset button in VBE , is there something i could check why it's not functioning as desired ?
Just to add, this form has a subForm as well (might be the cause ?)
I have a timer form which closes the database after a period of time with DoCmd.Quit. Another form is open at this point but if a user has left it in the middle of editing it I want to be able to save the record in the other form and close it before the timer form closes the database.
What VBA do I need in the timer form to save the record and close the other form before DoCmd.Quit? Just to be clear the code is...
Private Sub Form_Timer() On Error Resume Next Me.Tag = Val(Me.Tag) - (Me.TimerInterval / 1000) Me.Caption = "The database will exit in " & Me.Tag & " seconds" If Val(Me.Tag) <= 0 Then
When the user clicks to close the form the Before Update event runs, and has the following code to check that all the required fields are completed:
If IsNull(Me.ToxReceived) Then stdresponse = (MsgBox("You must enter the toxicology received date before continuing." & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & _ "Do you want to do that now? Click YES to return to complete the form, click NO to undo the record", vbYesNo, "Missing Data"))
If stdresponse = vbYes Then Me.ToxReceived.SetFocus
Else Cancel = True Me.Undo Exit Sub End If End If
If the user clicks no, and the record is undone, how do I get the close form event to still continue?
i put a button that run the command "docmd.close" but i found when i click it it close the form but with saving all data in field in the table, but this button should cancel record insertion, i hope i can find the answer here.
I have a form that I want only to be opened from another form (i.e. the user presses a button from form1 and form2 is magically displayed).
My solution: In form2, I check to see if form1 is open in "use" mode. If not, I display a message and close form2.
The problem: The close code (docmd.close) is at the beginning of Form_Current. Apparently, Form_Current doesn't like to be interrupted. I receive a run-time error 2585 (This action can't be carried out while processing a form or report event).
Ok, so, umm, how exactly am I supposed to close the form? I tried the check during Form_Load instead, using the cancel variable instead of the docmd.close. However, I don't think this code got executed. It's almost like the form was already loaded or the Form_Load occurs after Form_Current (In my handy chart here, it says that Form_Current occurs when a form containing data is first opened and when you move to a different record.. so, I suppose it is possible).
