How To Stop A Form From Closing After Validating A Field
Jun 12, 2006Hi,
I've got a close button on my form as follows:
Private Sub exitForm_Click()
DoCmd.Close
End Sub
In the beforeupdate event of the form I have have following code to validate the forms fields:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
'Place an asterisk (*) in the Tag Property of the text boxes you wish to validate.
'Then in the BeforeUpdate Event of the form, copy/paste the following:
Dim msg As String, Style As Integer, Title As String
Dim nl As String, ctl As Control
nl = vbNewLine & vbNewLine
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then
If ctl.Tag = "*" And Trim(ctl & "") = "" Then
msg = "Data Required for '" & ctl.Name & "' field!" & nl & _
"You can't save this record until this data is provided!" & nl & _
"Enter the data and try again . . . "
Style = vbCritical + vbOKOnly
Title = "Required Data..."
MsgBox msg, Style, Title
ctl.SetFocus
Cancel = True
Exit For
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
This validation works fine up to a point. If I try to close the form and a required field is empty, I get a message box asking me to fill in the data. The problem is that when I click ok to the message, it shuts down the form, so I have to re-enter all the data again. My question is how do I prevent the form from closing after clicking ok on the message box?
appreciate your help:)
How To Stop A Form From Closing If Some Essential Fields Are Not Populated
Mar 31, 2006I tried putting the following code in the form unload procedure, but although it does generate the correct message, it doesnt stop the form from closing.
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
If [Starttime] > 0 And [Admin_time] = 0 Then
response = MsgBox("Please click on the stop button to stop the clock")
Exit Sub
End If
end sub
If the above condition holds, I want the user to click on the stop button before they close down the form. I'm guessing that the form is already commited to closing before the unload event? :o
Forms :: Access 2010 - Opening New Form And Closing Current Form?
Mar 14, 2013 I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)
I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.
All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.
Private Sub cmdBack_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs)
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3"
End Sub
The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.
Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?
Forms :: How To Use Data On A Form When Running Code Before Closing The Form
Feb 4, 2014I have a bound form with a few fields. I would like to run a sub after some of these fields are modified, but not others. I would like it to run only once, after user finishes his work on the form.
When using the Unload event - the form on the form is not there anymore (or did I get something wrong?).
Is there a way to trap Data on form just before the form closes?
Closing A Form Vs. Really Closing A Form
Feb 17, 2005This is related to some advice I received some time ago <a href="http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=64818">here<a>
I am runnign some code, it performs some applications, then, if a Count Field is greater than 1, a form opens as a dialog, displaying some information:
Dim A As String
A = "NewForm"
If Me.[Count] > 0 Then
DoCmd.OpenForm A, acNormal, , , , acDialog
End If
If Me.Continue = "No" Then
Exit Sub
End If
The new form opens, and you can either view it, and click continue, which will run the rest of the code, or you can click quit, which updates Me.Continue to "No", and then it exits.
The problem is, when it exits the Sub, it doesn't really stop the code, it just leaves things kind of hanging. When I try to run the code again, I get:
3321 - The database engine could not lock the table 'NewTable' becuase it is already in use by another person or process.
Another symptom - The original form where I click to start running the code, has two date fields. Normally, when this form opens, they are blank, but when I exit the sub, as above, the previous dates I entered are still sitting there.
How can I make the forms really close?

Help To Stop Bypassing A Sub Form...
Nov 18, 2005Hi I've been having this same problem for a while and I've had a bit of help here but none of the suggestions have so far worked.
Basically I need a way to stop people tabing through a sub form without entering data. The sub form has a check box that has to be checked (it can't be set as True as default) the required field doesn't work and for some reason the Enforce Referential Integrity on the join between the main table (tblCustInfo) and this one doesn't work either.
tblCustInfo = the main form
tblAgentData = subform
can anyone please help?
Stop Form Going To New Record
Jun 27, 2006i wonder if anyone can help with this problem i cant seem to work out.
i have a bound form linked to an orders table, including some required fields. when i use the navigation buttons of the form to scroll thorugh the orders i can get to the end where the form expects you to make a new order. but i have a button to add a new order.
i want to stop the user being able to go past the last record in the orders table. or enable them to get back to the last order. currently if the user goes past the last record (making a new order) there is no way to get back to the last record. using the navigation back button causes errors as the required fields are blank and access tries to save the order, thinking i want to make a new one.
i hope this makes sense.
i have tried setting the Allow Additions setting of the Form to No. but this causes problems when there is no data in the orders table. opening the form produces a blank form, showing no fields or buttons at all.
i would be greatful for any advice, maybe i am doing something fundamentally wrong?:confused:

Closing A Form Problem
Sep 19, 2006I have found that when closing a form and changes have been made to the fields, these changes will be saved.

Form Closing Behavior
Mar 14, 2005Not sure what to call this "phenomenon" so haven't had any luck searching for an answer.
I have a form (form1) that has a close button with code behind it. When the button is clicked, it takes a few seconds for the code to run. When form1 closes, all is well up until: There is another form (form2) that is open behind form1. When form1 closes, part of it is still visible over form2.
Hope this makes sense. Any way to solve?

Modules & VBA :: Keep Form From Closing
Jun 16, 2014I have a form that has some fields with validation rules, which are Not Is Null. I have a private function to validate records (here is a snipet)
Code:
Private Function ValidateRecord() As Boolean
ValidateRecord = False
Select Case Outcome
Case "Interpretation"
If IsNull(Me.[Date Provided]) Then
MsgBox [Date Provided].ValidationText
Exit Function
End If
[code]...
The form has a save and close button. I was wondering if there was a way to keep the form from closing if those fields are null. Right now, you click the button, the validation text pops up (it pops up twice too), and then the form closes.
I thought about maybe having the (If...Then, Inputbox)code in the Form_BeforeUpdate instead. If I do that, is there a way to do that for date textboxes and comboboxes where you choose the value instead of typing it?

Stop A Form Being Moved By User
Feb 20, 2005Is there anyway to stop the user from beng able to move a form. I.e. as in change its position on screen.
I am aware that you can do this by setting the border type to "none". However, I want my form to have a title bar along the top, so I cant use this method.
Is there another way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ive found some information on the "movable" property, but I am using access 2000 and cant get it to work.
Stop Form Opening When No Data
Feb 20, 2006Hi people. I'm having fun with this one. I want to open a form frmOldRec from a list on frmSelectOld, only if there is data. I'e tried code such as:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim rst As Recordset
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
If rst.RecordCount = 0 Then MsgBox "No Records logged in this service area"
DoCmd.Restore,
'close etc etc
End sub
But I haven't been successful.
As it stands it opens a blank form if there's no suitable record. How can I stop this happening please?
Cheers Barry
Tab Stop Problem On Tabbed Form
Mar 30, 2006Hi
I have set up a tabbed form to preview data going onto a report. There are four sub forms each on its own tab. I have locked down the data on the sub forms.
However when I open up the tabbed form the focus seems to shift to the first control on the tab. Ideally I want all the data controls on the tab to remain without focus leaving only the tab controls and the close form control that can get a focus.
Is there any way I can do this, or am I not making myself clear?
It isn't a deal breaker but it makes the form look a tad ugly!
Thanks for any help.
Stop Macro On Last Record In Form
Dec 4, 2012I have a macro that opens up a form called SLA Complete Form - The macro then goes and examines two fields on the form to see if they contain data and if they do not then it displays a popup box with a message.
The form that gets opened up can have anywhere from one record to approximately a hundred records.
How can I get the macro to stop running when it hits the last record on the form without displaying an error message. I am currently using the next record feature in the macro.
Closing Form Slow After Sorting
Apr 26, 2005Closing a form with a large amount of records is slow after sorting the records, is there a way to avoid this.
Its slower to close after sorting than the the sum of the time to close the form and sort the records, which doesn't seem to make much sense.
Can anyone help?

Update Combo Without Closing Form
Feb 2, 2005I have a form for inputting products into a table called "products". On this form is a combo box which lists the Suppliers. This list is generated by a Table called "suppliers".
If the supplier has not alredy been entered into the supplier table then it is not listed in the combo box list. I have added a button to open a supplier entry form to add the supplier to the supplier table. Once the new supplier is entered and the supplier entry form closed, the new entry does not show in the combo box list unless you close the product form and reopen it.
How do I refresh the combo box list without closing the form it is in and reopening it.
