This database has a TON of macros written that
Runtime Error 2501 The Outputto Action Was Cancelled
the users utilize to help them navigate and enter data. Thus, ditching the code is not step #1 despite the fact that these macros were written in Access 97.... I've managed to get most of the code to work by removing deprecated function calls with new ones, but there are a couple of forms that still do not work correctly. If I can figure out how to resolve one I'm sure I can resolve the others. The main macro has a menu with several buttons. Whenever I click one button I get a "The OpenForm action was cancelled" error. The code for this button is as follows: Option Compare Database 'Use database order for string comparisons Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) If IsLoaded("ServiceCircuit") Then Me![PropBtn].Visible = True Else Me![PropBtn].Visible = False End If End Sub Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer) If IsLoaded("ServiceCircuit") Then Forms![ServiceCircuit].Visible = True Forms![ServiceCircuit]![CircuitPrefix].Requery Forms![ServiceCircuit]![CircuitPrefix] = Forms![Circuit]![CircuitPrefix] Forms![ServiceCircuit]![CircuitBase].Requery Forms![ServiceCircuit]![CircuitBase] = Forms![Circuit]![CircuitBase] 'Forms!ServiceCircuit.Refresh Exit Sub Else If IsLoaded("DedicatedService") Th

The OpenForm action was cancelled. 2501 https://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/511913-openform-action-cancelled-2501-a P: n/a SDL Help! I have a system that was running fine and I https://bytes.com/topic/access/answers/909588-how-fix-error-2501-openform-action-canceled was testing a bottom level form. I went from a menu to a screen where I could enter a phone number or name to find a customer. If the customer name hit on more than one person ther is an interim selection screen. I have been running thru these screens for 2 days now and action was everything was fine and suddenly I get "The OpenForm actionwas cancelled." Run Time err 2501? This is happening on several of my OpenForm commands! stLinkCriteria = "CUSTOMER_ID = " & CUSTOMER_ID stDocName = "NEW INVOICE" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria stDocName="NEW INVOICE" stLinkCriteria="CUSTOMER_ID=6" As I said suddenly several similar opens are getting that same error? This is frustrating as hell as I'm fairly new to MS-Access VBA and have the openform action a very tight deadline. So far I have found that writing screens 20 years ago on dumb terminals with a home grown database and home grown 'CICS' with Assembler code and 3270 control characters was about the same LOL. Jul 14 '06 #1 Post Reply Share this Question 4 Replies P: n/a Allen Browne Access is informing you that the form/report did not open, so the logic in your code does not blithely proceed assuming that it is now open. If you don't care, just trap Error 2501, and ignore it. If error handling is a new concept, there's a skeleton outline in this article Error Handling in VBA at: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-23a.html It also explains how to call a generic error handler that ignores the error, and logs errors if you want that too. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

P: 1 Aftab Hussain I have following code for a start-up form: Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers PrivateSubForm_Timer() 'Closestartupformandopenlogonform DoCmd.CloseacForm,"Startup_Form" DoCmd.OpenForm"Logon_Form" EndSub And i am getting following error message. Error 2501: The OpenForm action was canceled. Mar 7 '11 #1 Post Reply Share this Question 1 Reply Expert 100+ P: 931 patjones Hi Aftab, Is this code in the module for Start_Up form? I suspect that what is happening is that the form is closing before the OpenForm on the next line can complete. Two things you can try: 1) reverse the order of the commands (do OpenForm first then close the form that you are calling from) 2) put the OpenForm command in the On Close event for the calling form Let us know how it works out.
