OnClose Event And Exit / Quit Buttons
Jul 24, 2012
I have a form (menu) that auto-loads along w/ the database that has a standard exit button at the bottom. On that form/menu, one item/button loads a table for editing (we'll call this 'edit table' button). I want a prompt to pop up asking whether or not the user would like to export the table to excel on exit, only when a user loads the table, regardless of whether other items from the menu are loaded during the session.
As of right now, I have a hidden form that loads when the 'edit table' button is clicked and I have an OnUnload event set on the hidden form to load an 'export to excel' form/prompt (loaded as dialog, form set to popup & modal). When I test this out by closing the hidden form (clicking it's 'x', or the 'exit' button on my main menu or access' 'x'), the 'export to excel' form loads beautifully and the 'export to excel' button works great except my other button on that form, the 'exit' button, does not work at all.
The exit button is set to 'quit -> prompt'. This is completely nitpicking, but how do I get this 'quit' button to work. Clicking on that form's 'x' button closes that window and continues the exit and I could just write I note saying 'click the x to exit', but I'd rather figure out what's broken here and fix that exit button. If I set that button to 'quit -> exit' I get an action failed error # 2950.

I'm developing in Access 2007 and created a runtime version.
When the user clicks the X to close the runtime application, the main form's Load event fires. Any clues as to why this might be? Some of the code is based on other forms that do close, so of course errors start flying. Note, this is only in the runtime version; the accdb file works just fine.
My current workaround is to put the offending code into the forms On Current event, which I'm able to do in this context.
Is it wrong to think that a forms On_Load event shouldn't be firing when the application is closing?

I have a continuous form, with data entry fields in both the form header and the detail section.
I've attached an "On Exit" event to the ProdQty field in the detail section. The prime function of the event code is to run an update query on the table (which is the data source for the form).
The code executes properly (update query runs successfully and form refreshes) when I Tab out of that field. It also executes properly when I use the mouse to click on another field in the detail section.
However, when I use the mouse to click on a field in the form header or form footer sections, the On Exit code does not execute properly.
Here's the On Exit Sub:
Private Sub ProdQty_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo ProdQty_Error
If (Int(Me!ProdQty) <> Me!ProdQty) Or ((Me!ProdQty / Me!LDU) < 1) Or (Int(Me!ProdQty / Me!LDU) <> (Me!ProdQty / Me!LDU)) Then
Me.ProdQty.BackColor = 255
Me.ProdQty.ForeColor = 16777215
Beep
MsgBox "The quantity you entered is invalid for this product." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Please check the LDU (least divisible unit) and enter a new quantity.", vbExclamation, "Quantity Error"
DoCmd.GoToRecord acActiveDataObject, "Order Form", acPrevious
DoCmd.GoToRecord acActiveDataObject, "Order Form", acNext
DoCmd.GoToControl "ProdQty"
Exit Sub
Else
Me.ProdQty.BackColor = 255
Me.ProdQty.BackColor = 16777215
Me.ProdQty.ForeColor = 0
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Update Product Qty in Current Order", acViewNormal, acEdit
Me.Requery
Me.Refresh
Me.Repaint
DoCmd.GoToControl "ProductCombo"
End If
ProdQty_Error:
Exit Sub
End Sub
Here's the Update Query:
UPDATE [Current Order] INNER JOIN Products ON [Current Order].[Product #] = Products.[Product #] SET [Current Order].Quantity = Forms![Order Form]!ProdQty, [Current Order].Price = IIf([Forms]![Order Form]![PriceCodeCombo]="CS",[Products]![Contract Net]*([Forms]![Order Form]![ProdQty]/[Forms]![Order Form]![ProdLDU1]),IIf([Forms]![Order Form]![PriceCodeCombo]="EDW",[Products]![Ed Wholesale]*([Forms]![Order Form]![ProdQty]/[Forms]![Order Form]![ProdLDU1]),IIf([Forms]![Order Form]![PriceCodeCombo]="R2",[Products]![R2 Net]*([Forms]![Order Form]![ProdQty]/[Forms]![Order Form]![ProdLDU1]),IIf([Forms]![Order Form]![PriceCodeCombo]="R3",[Products]![R3 Net]*([Forms]![Order Form]![ProdQty]/[Forms]![Order Form]![ProdLDU1]),IIf([Forms]![Order Form]![PriceCodeCombo]="R4",[Products]![R4 Net]*([Forms]![Order Form]![ProdQty]/[Forms]![Order Form]![ProdLDU1]),IIf([Forms]![Order Form]![PriceCodeCombo]="R5",[Products]![R5 Net]*([Forms]![Order Form]![ProdQty]/[Forms]![Order Form]![ProdLDU1]),IIf([Forms]![Order Form]![PriceCodeCombo]="R6",[Products]![R6 Net]*([Forms]![Order Form]![ProdQty]/[Forms]![Order Form]![ProdLDU1]),IIf([Forms]![Order Form]![PriceCodeCombo]="W",[Products]![Wholesale Net]))))))))
WHERE ((([Current Order].[Product #])=[Forms]![Order Form]![Product1]));
I tried copying that code to "After Update", "On Change", and "On Lost Focus" events but the results were the same.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello again folks.
Having spent a week building my database and everything is working as expected - I set the 'startup' properties and now Access won't save or quit from the main form. In order to close I have to select 'form design' and then the 'X' will work. This goes for all the methods of closure including the menu and system buttons. I cannot access the cnt/Alt/Del with this system but that's immeterial. I'm using XP and Access 2000.
I have tried removing all the conditionally formatted controls.
Help please!!
Chalkie.

Sorry to bug you guys (or Gals) for something as simple as this.
I have several subforms and list boxes that references other subforms using queries and when I close the form using
DoCmd.Close
Some of the queries ask for parameter values. Is there a little snippet that will fix this?
Thanks Everyone,

Hi I have succsefully used the code suggested on theis excellent forum to boot user from the db to repair it. It is FE/BE set up and the ONTIMER on the login form is used to chuck people off over the network.
My ug is: I like to give people the waring before I chuck them off, but sometimes when they are using another application with the db running in the background they dont get the message, therefore dont click ok so my Code wont carry on and Quit application when I want it to.
The code is trapped in
MsgBox "Please finish what your doin, as the db will shut down", vbinformation
Is there any way I can make my code bypass this if they user hasnt clicked ok?
Many thanks in advance

Hi
I'm trying to create a commandbutton that will update a Microsoft query in excel.
My problem is that excel is quitting before the workbook is updated. Maybe I need a "wait" command or something...
This is what i have:
Private Sub cmdASP_Click()
Dim XL
Dim XLARK
Set XL = CreateObject("excel.application")
Set XLARK = GetObject("c: est.xls")
XL.Visible = True
XLARK.Parent.Windows(1).Visible = True
XLARK.Activate
XLARK.RefreshAll
XLARK.Application.Cells(1, 1).Value = Now()
XL.ActiveWorkbook.Close Savechanges:=True
XL.Quit
Set XL = Nothing
Set XLARK = Nothing
End Sub
Can anyone help me out?

When my database application is closed a parameter box pops up asking for parameter from text16 but only if the Navigation Pane is hidden.
Some information:
The application starts with a login screen that has a hidden text box (text16) that allows me to limit what users can access throughout the database by setting it as the query criteria.
If a form is open that is gathering its data from one of these querys and you try to close the application the parameter box opens which is simply annoying for my users who do not know about access.
The interesting thing about this is that if I unhide the Navigation Pane and close the application with one of these forms open it closes fine with no parameter box pop up.
The goal is to have the Navigation Pane hidden and the parameter box not pop up.
Added information if the navigation pane is hidden I can use a command button with a macro that closes all open forms then quits application and this does not cause the parameter box to pop up.
So another fix for my problem would be to disable the "X" close button at the top right of the application.

There is a form where whenever the form is closed, the below code needs to execute:
If IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece1.Value) = True And IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece2.Value) = True And IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece3.Value) = True And IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece4.Value) = True And IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece5.Value) = True Then
Me.AllowAdditions = False
DoCmd.SetWarnings (0)
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord
DoCmd.SetWarnings (-1)
Else
Call AppendQuoteCharges
End If
The If Then just looks at if certain fields are all null and if so, it deletes the current record. If at least one field is not null, the AppendQuoteCharges routine is called.
The form has 4 or 5 navigation buttons that close this form and send you to a different one. I've added the above code to each of those buttons before it runs the DoCmd.Close Form. I also have a Exit button that runs a DoCmd.Quit. I developed this months back but I'm pretty sure I added the above code under each button's click event rather than a Form On Close event because Form On Close does not execute after a DoCmd.Quit command
In rare cases, the form is being closed without the routine being ran. I think if a user clicks the Close button in the top right of Access (the X), it might be running a DoCmd.Quit which is doesn't run this code.
How can I be sure that whenever the form is closed or exited, the code is ran? Is there a way to tie this code to the user clicking the X in the top right?

I have setup a small application with front/back end in local network. On client machines i have installed access runtime. Although it works fine but it suddenly quit when there is any run time error while working on client machine. Although on server machine ( where full version is running it didn't close the application ).
What i need is an option to not quit the application completely. As i am not expert in coding of try/catch statements I need a simple solution for time being .

My database is used by a few users on a shared drive in "read-only" mode so they can't change any data.I set a scheduled task to copy an updated version of the database (which I edit) every morning.
The problem is that when the users forget to close the database file I can't overwrite it.For this purpose I wrote a small code that quits the application at 00:00 using Application.Quit.The code WORKS when I test it on my computer, but every morning when I try to open the file I see that it is opened by another user since I also open it as "read-only" - meaning the code didn't work...getting the code to work properly OR get a better solution to be able to overwrite the file even though it's opened by other users.

Is this possible? I can't seem to find this q anywhere here so I thought I'd post.
I changed the colour of my form to white, but the Navigation Buttons at the bottom and the command buttons that I 've added stay at the default grey.
Is there anyway to change this? I right-clicked and tried changing it to white through the properties but there's nothing there that does this.
:confused:

If my user uses the MS Access 'X' button (upper right hand of screen) to Exit the application does anyone know what methods are triggered that may let me perform some task before the application actually ends?

I've created a new database using the standard Switchboard function. However, when I use the Exit Application command the database closes but MS Access stays open. It's a minor problem but infuriating, especially as I've never encountered this problem before and everything I try won't fix it. Any ideas?

Hiya,
I have a database which on exit runs calls the following module and backs up the database to anther folder
Public Function BackupCopy()
'This function will allow you to copy a db that is open,
'You must set a reference to the 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime' for the CopyFile piece to work!
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim sSourcePath As String
Dim sSourceFile As String
Dim sBackupPath As String
Dim sBackupFile As String
sSourcePath = "C:Database"
sSourceFile = "MyDB.mdb"
sBackupPath = "C:DatabaseBackups"
sBackupFile = "BackupDB_" & Format(Date, "mmddyyyy") & "_" & Format(Time, "hhmmss") & ".mdb"
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
fso.CopyFile sSourcePath & sSourceFile, sBackupPath & sBackupFile, True
Set fso = Nothing
Beep
MsgBox "Backup was successful and saved @ " & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & sBackupPath & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & "The backup file name is " & Chr(13) & Chr(13) & sBackupFile, vbInformation, "Backup Completed"
End Function
but after backing up correctly it brings me the following error
"Run-time errror '424':
Object required
any ideas what might be going wrong

I have a form with 4 tab pages. on the 2 tab page I have a subform that adds records to a table via 2 combo boxes.
I have been able to stop user from leaving a combo control blank or skipping to the next combo control, but if user clicks the Exit command button on the main form, from the 2nd combo control, it prompts that value has to be selected but the gives error:
"You cannot add or change record because a related record is required"
How can I stop this so form will close and undo the 1st combo selection and not give error?
