Hi all,
Recently I am getting this message in a database that would allow users to add new rows to tables, even when I look into the tables themselves I can't seem to enter data
Would anyone know what could be causing this error?
Error (no. 2501): The save action was canceled
Thanks

I have a form that opens when you initially open the MS Access file...
This first form posts session and user ID data to a sessions table, then closes itself and opens an end user form (i.e. the main form in the application)
It's work just fine for many weeks, up until a few minutes ago. Now, when I open the MS Access file I get this error message:
Run-time error '2501':
The OpenForm action was canceled.
When I choose "debug" from the error message, it's showing me that the error happens here:
Code:
Public Sub CloseMeAndOpenMain(frmMe As Form)
DoCmd.Close acForm, frmMe.Name
DoCmd.OpenForm "0100_0000_STRAT_AND_REQ_ASSEMBLY_ECs_LISTING"
End Sub
The thing is, I can then walk through the code with no issues (i.e. when I hit F8, it runs...)
Also when I open the first "sessions" form from inside MS Access (as opposed the file open feature) it runs just fine and opens the main end user file without any issue.
I only get the error when I initially open the first form from the file...
I use the following code in the On No Data event of a report:
Private Sub Report_NoData(Cancel As Integer)
MsgBox "No data exists for the date range entered.", vbInformation, "No Data Alert"
Cancel = True
End Sub
This works fine to cancel the opening of the report however Ms Access annoyingly then pop-ups another alert that reads as follows:
"The OpenReport action was cancelled". There is no error number.
I've tried putting in a DoCmd.Close after Cancel = True however this doesn't do the job.
Any way to prevent the Ms Access pop-up from appearing?
I have a Contacts form which has a Calls sub-form which itself has a Subjects sub-form. From the Contacts form the user can click a button which writes a pro-forma letter from a selection. The application then updates the Call & allows the user to select the Subject(s) from the Subjects available (drop-down menu). If the user wants to write a second letter immediately, I get the above message. If they do anything else first, they are OK.
I have tried refreshing the Contacts form & each of the others at various points in the process, explictly saving the record (caused another error) etc. without success.
Can you help?
In order to prevent a duplicate values in the field TR_Tripcode (text) I put the following code in the Before Update Event of TR_Tripcode.
************************************************** ********
Dim SID As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Dim rsc As DAO.Recordset
Set rsc = Me.RecordsetClone
SID = Me.TR_Tripcode.Value
stLinkCriteria = "[TR_Tripcode]=" & "'" & SID & "'"
If DCount("strTripcode", "tblTripreports", stLinkCriteria) > 0 Then
'Undo duplicate entry
Me.Undo
'Message box warning of duplication
MsgBox "Warning Tripcode " _
& SID & " has already been entered." _
& vbCr & vbCr & "You will now been taken to the record.", vbInformation _
, "Duplicate Information"
'Go to record of original Tripcode number
rsc.FindFirst stLinkCriteria
Me.Bookmark = rsc.Bookmark
End If
Set rsc = Nothing
************************************************** ********
I found this code on a site and I adjusted it for my situation.
However I keep getting Error 2501 'You canceled the previous operation'.
Even after reading all posts about this subject I still haven't figured out the problem.
All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Access 2007. I can run the report for last month and with the VBA code outputting it directly to PDF and it works. When I run it for this month, I get an error 2501. This report has been running for months with no issues. When I run it for this month and preview the output, I can export it to PDF with no problems. Why can't I get it to work in VBA for this month?

'Products' is the table name, 'Product' is the field name and 'iProduct' is the name of the comboBox on the form.
Hi,
I have the following code:
Private Sub PLPREMCAL_Click()
Dim ColumnNumber As Integer
ColumnNumber = [NoWorkingDirectors] + [NoManualEmployees] + [NoPriciples]
If [LOI] = "2.6m" Then
PLPremium = DLookup("[" & ColumnNumber & "Emp]", "2_6m", "[Business]=Forms![Form1]![Business]")
ElseIf [LOI] = "3.9m" Then
PLPremium = DLookup("[" & ColumnNumber & "Emp]", "3_9m", "[Business]=Forms![Form1]![Business]")
ElseIf [LOI] = "6.5m" Then
PLPremium = DLookup("[" & ColumnNumber & "Emp]", "6_5m", "[Business]=Forms![Form1]![Business]")
ElseIf [LOI] = "10m" Then
PLPremium = DLookup("[" & ColumnNumber & "Emp]", "10m", "[Business]=Forms![Form1]![Business]")
End If
End Sub
LOI is coming from a Combobox on my form. When I change the LOI I want the PLPremium value on my form to up tho the value in that table.
It's so frustrating - I keep getting this run time error
Would REALLY appreciate any help.
Why when I set up a macro with a PrintOut action does it always prompt me to "Save As" before it prints? I have a default printer set up in the system, but it still asks to "Save As." It does print after.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of the users of my application, reports an error when saving a report to pdf by VBA code. She’s using Access 2013, on Windows 8.1.
The error is “error 2501 output to action was cancelled with access vb macro”
The VBA code is
StrReport = “RepInvoice”
StrDocumentName = “C:UsersMaryDocumentsAccessInvoice.pdf”
DoCmd.OpenReport StrReport, acViewPreview
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, StrReport, "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", StrDocumentName, False
DoCmd.Close acReport, StrReport, acSaveNo
This error occurs at the OutputTo line. This code is part of an user form with a button “save as PDF”.
When this code is run, the report is visible as an example (as meant to be) on the screen. The code stops at the OutputTo line.
When I use
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, StrReport, acFormatPDF, StrDocumentName,, False
the problem still exists.
I tried to save the report manually by Preview > Export > PDF. The preview is OK, saving as PDF results in the same error 2501. This may lead to the conclusion that this problem is not caused by the VBA code.
I verified whether user write rights are OK, and whether a default printer is available. Both are OK. The report consists of 1 page.
When this very same application is used with Access 2010, everything functions as expected.
Hi,
I am getting this error "The command or action 'Show all records' isn't available now", i get this when i try to do

Please help!
Thanks!
I have a form that has several sub forms and what I want is that if the user chooses Plan Name in the main form "No Fault" or 'Workers Comp". I want message to pop and go to the field in the subform to enter data but I keep on getting an error.
Private Sub Plan_Name_AfterUpdate()
If ([Plan Name] = "No Fault") Then
MsgBox "Enter additional information in No Fault form before continuing."
DoCmd.GoToControl ([NoFaultWCompsubForm]![Attorney Name])
End If
End Sub
It says the action or method requires a control name argument?
What am I missing?
hi guys, here is the situation.
I have 3 forms:
1- editpopsubform where the info comes from a select statement.
2- editPoplist , which has the form 1 as a subform
3- editpop, a form which allows the user to edit a record selected in the poplist form.
The idea is to open the editpoplist form, where a list of records appears. Once a record is double clicking in the code number, the editpop form is open showing all the details for that particular record.
the code number in the editpop from is assigned as per the following:
=[forms]![editpoplist]![editpopsubform]!ifsnumber
Problem: when i double click in the code number the following error appears...
"run-time error 2501 . the open form action was cancelled"
any clue?
thx max.
I previously posted this in one of the other forums, but now believe this to be of a more general nature, and am still without a satisfactory explanation or any workaround:
I'm working on a new database with Access 2003, using the 2002-2003 file format. While debugging a VBA code module in the VB editor, whenever I get a runtime error something strange happens - I stop the debugger, correct the code and attempt to save my changes, and Access displays the message "Microsoft Office Access can't save design changes or save to a new database object because another user has the file open. To save your design changes or to save to a new object, you must have exclusive access to the file." It then persists in denying me the ability to save ANYTHING until I close the VB editor, close the Access application, and then start over again. In fact, there is no other user - all other machines on the network are turned off, and no other instances of Access or the VB editor are open.
Needless to say, this is slowing my development efforts to a crawl, and I'm totally stumped by it - I never remember running into this problem in years of working with Access 97 (where I can hit errors, stop execution, make any needed corrections to code or other objects, and re-run the application, without having to exit). I'm running this on a P4 3.4 GHz box with 1 GB of RAM. Going into Tools, Options, Advanced and switching the "Default open mode" between Shared and Exclusive makes no difference.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I've been progamming Access for a couple of years so am not a complete novice but I can't seem to work out this problem.
I downloaded some code from "databasedev.co.uk" from the query section called "Using a Microsoft Access listbox to pass criteria to a query". It works fine. However when I import my own table and change the code to SELECT the imported table and change the WHERE statement to my new string within that table , I get an error. When I select from the list box and click the command button I get the message "You canceled the previous operation".
However if I select the "ALL" selection from the list box it does return all the records.
Any help would be gratefully received!

I have a table with 140 fields (I know, this is too many). I have a date field that intermittently will not allow data to be entered. There is a pattern to the data it will not accept, but it seems to only occur in certain records and what it will or will not allow seems different in each case. The error I get when I try to save a record is: The search key was not found in any record. I've isolated the error to the level of the table. Have tried compact/repair, removing the index on the field, deleting and recreating the field. Nothing works. Help! :confused:
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have a database stored on a network drive used by a number of people across the organization over a Windows XP Network. I have an strange issue where some users get the error attached when trying to amend a record. However other users are able to amend the very same records. All the relevant user/windows permissions are identical. There is no security/permissions settings on the database for it to behave in this manner. The record seems to lock itself the moment you try to edit it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm beginning to lose the will to live over this one. I've been merrily developing a large application (ADP) in Access 2000 and 2003 over the past 5 years. The size of the ADP is now around 30MB and it contains the following quantities of objects:
23 modules
424 forms (409 with modules)
296 reports (284 with modules)
My problem is that whenever I use the decompile switch and then recompile I get the dreaded "The Save Operation Failed" message on saving the code and the whole ADP is then rendered corrupt. My only option is to create a new ADP and import each object type (Modules first, then forms then reports) separately, compiling as I go. This seems to work OK but when I open a file I've been working on in Access 2000 on an Access 2003 PC it seems to decompile it by itself and then won't compact/save. Does anyone have any ideas about this? I've searched Google and can't come up with any reasonable suggestions.
My form respectively subform has a couple of problems related to the recordset as it is available in VBA.
The mainform contains material data, the subform contains the components of that material and a quantity, while the components are materials themselves. The subform's control source is an SQL statement created by the query builder.
Everything worked fine before i replaced the material-selecting combobox in the continuous subform by a textbox and a button. That button leads to another (dialog) form with some filtering options, which in turn returns the number of the selected material. This material gets inserted into the textbox. To this point it works fine.
But when i enter a quantity before i selected a Material, i get an error message after selecting the Material: This Action was Cancelled by an Associated Object. This happens while executing the following VBA Code on click of the material selection button (exact position commented in code):
Code:
Private Sub cbuSelectComponent_Click()
' Select component
Dim SQL As String
Dim rs As Recordset
DoCmd.OpenForm "Material Selector Dialog", , , , , acDialog, "Dialog"
If GLB_selected_mat = -1 Then 'cancel
[Code] ....
I've found the following Microsoft KB Article: [URL] ..... In their example code they use:
' Restore text box value to the original record contents
' in this case, that is NULL
datDataCtl.UpdateControls
I assume this is the relevant part, but i have no DataControl (what's that?) and neither found an UpdateControls method in the subform object.
The second error, "no current recordset", occures when i edit an existing component line in the subform that has been added right before (also using the same event and code as mentioned above). If i close the form after adding the component and open it again, it's no problem.
Quote:
Private Sub Save_Click()
If IsNull(cboEmpName) Then
MsgBox "Please Select Employee Name"
Me.cboEmpName.SetFocus
End If
If Me.txtNoofDaysWorked.Value = "0" Then
MsgBox "Please Enter No of Worked Days"

I have been working on a bound form that I can't seem to get working.
It records deliveries and what I am trying to achieve is after the form has been filled in the user will click a save button where the record will be added to the table and a record automatically printed via a report and emailed to the shop manager, but i keep getting the error "No Current record" no matter what way I try to do it, I have tried using to run the report. Is the best way for me to accomplish this o change it to an unbound for and run an insert query on click?
I have attached a copy of what I have been working on : DatabaseDelivery.accdb
My database was working fine. Now, if I have to save or edit a record, I get a message Run time error 2107. The value you entered does not meet the validation rule defined for the field or control. I am able to enter and edit new records in the table. I did not change any validation in form. Then it goes to debug mode and highlighted this code (me.recordsource=Listsql - is highlighted)
Private Sub ListSearch_Click()
Dim dBS As Database
Dim Rst As Recordset
Dim Listsql As String
Set dBS = CurrentDb()
Listsql = "Select * from MasterData where employeeid ='" & [Forms]![MASTERFORM]![ListSearch] & "'"

I have a access program and recently I began getting this Error out of the blue . I really need to fix this error because it shuts down my entire program . When I go to save a pic like i always do and it will not recognize the "quote Main ".
Code:
Forms![frm_Quote_Main]![HousePicture] = Me.PicSave
Forms![frm_Quote_Main]![ZoomValue] = Me.ZoomValue
Forms![frm_Quote_Main]![GoogleZoom] = Me.GoogleZoom
Error I receive
Runtime access error 2450 ............. ? Capture2.PNG
Capture.PNG
So I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes. The filename should contain todays date in DDMM format along with some pre-set text e.g. DDMM PresetText.
I am using Access 2010.
