It seems so simple to do, but I've spent ages looking through the forums and haven't found a simple implementation of it.
How would you close a form based on a query called 'Retired' if no records are found?
I assume it's going to be a bit of VBA code, but I'm still learning VBA. :-(

My problem is when i use this form as a sub form, it makes the main form close as well. How can I make the main form stay and only the sub form close.
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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI tried all sorts of permutations of the requery command but apparently I'm too dense to figure it out.
Form 1
subform 1 > button to open pop up form
subform 2
subform 3
I'm trying to requery a combo box (inside of subform 1) based on a table that is updated from the pop up form.
On pop up form close, what's the correct syntax for re-querying subform 1?
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
[code]...
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.
Thank you

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).
Any thoughts?
I'm trying to close one form by using a button on another. This is my code:
DoCmd.Close acForm, frmSimCount
It dosen't work but comes up with an error:
Run-time errer '2493'
This action requires an object name.
I thought that was the name of the form, which is frmSimCount, could someone put me in the right direction please.
why a form won't close. Each time I try to I am prompted to save and when I do, the form doesn't close. When I closed the DB and reopened, none of the changes were saved.

I want to have some queries run during the database is closed, like the functiona with "Repair on Close". But I don't want to use a form with a VBA code doing it. Is there any other possibility to do it? :confused:
Thanks in advance for answers.:)
Hi,
I've got a database with a linked table to a CSV file which is automatically extracted from some logging software. The Database is used to search for text strings (e.g. "example") within several fields wichin the automated extract and then show the results with any duplicated instances taken out (via an append to table query which is indexed with no duplicates).
So:
Text is entered
FieldA is looked through for a match, if a match is found the whole record gets appended to the Append table.
FieldB is looked through and if a match is found the whole record (including field A) is appended, however if the match has already been found in A, then the record is not copied.
It does this for several fields and then you get a table which is every record containing the searched for text with no duplicates.
This table is then displayed as a subform on another form in it's "table" view.
The form I'm trying to close is the form which contains the above subform.
I've tried:
A macro with close -> form -> formname which doesn't work.
Code:
Private Sub Toggle2_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Toggle2_Click
DoCmd.Close
Exit_Toggle2_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Toggle2_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Toggle2_Click
End Sub
Which also doesnt work!
HOWEVER, just to make things interesting, if I click to view the form design, then run the form again, it will close fine using either method. It just seems not to work on the initial run of the text search which then opens the form displaying the subform.
Any ideas?? I can't understand why it won't work.
Cheers - Hope I explained it ok :)
Hi guys,
I have a form that the user uses to input data. If the user tries to close the form by clicking on the X then a warning message is displayed such as:
The field cannot contain a Null value because the required property for this field is set to true. Enter a value in the field.
What I want to happen is that when the user closes the form via the X, then no updates are undertaken (in effect a cancel operation).
How do I do this???
Thanks

Question: How can i close the hidden form to be able to close the application?
Thx in advance.
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.

HI basically i have a form which dislays records in a continous list, then an add button which adds records to the list. to view the newly added records you have to close the form and open it again.
I have inserted a refresh button but what im after instead is when i close the 'add form' it refreshes the list form. Below is the code for the refresh button could someone tell me what i need to add/change to make it refresh a particular form on close?

Hi
We have a number of forms in our database.
Each one is opened from a Main menu form or one of a number of sub-menu forms.
However, after a while we are realising that every time we are using a form unless we specifically close it, it stays open.
How would we automatically close a form when another one opens ?
Thanks

Hi,
Does anyone know how to get rid of this kind of error (see attached), because I don't know what it means & have never seen it before. It happens everytime I try to close a certain form (but only happens on this one form).
any help would be appreciated.
Hello everyone,
Ran into a problem trying to disable a forms min/max/close menu.
I'm trying to disable the forms close button I.e X on top of the form. I'd like to keep the min & max there so I've been trying to use the following.
Me.CloseButton=False
I get "You cannot set a value to this" error. Also tried Me.Closebutton.Enabled=False and get errors.
Anyone have a bit of code on how to do this or at least explain what I'm doing wrong here?
Thx.
Kao
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?
Thanks in advance!
I have a form I want to close but somehow the codes running before it cancel it out before my closing code can run.
Here is the full code for the form.
Code:
'Check for Null Fields
If IsNull(Me.cmb_to_customer) Or IsNull(Me.cmb_from_customer) Then
MsgBox ("Please enter a TO CUSTOMER and FROM CUSTOMER to continue.")
Cancel = True
[Code] .....
This is the ending code that will not run:
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Continue or Not, If yes then wipe all fields, If no then exit form
If MsgBox("Do you want to log-in/transfer more batteries?", vbOKCancel, "BATTERY LOG-IN/TRANSFER") = vbCancel Then
DoCmd.Close acForm, "FRM_LOGIN"
Else
Me.cmb_from_customer = Null
[Code] ....
