each other. Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up MS Access OpenForm was cancelled - error 2501 up vote 0 down vote favorite I've been asked to make some modification to Forms in an Access database the openform action was canceled access 2007 used by a group I work with. I had to add a data entry form similar to one that exists so I copied one of the existing forms and made some modifications. When I click the button to open the form to test it I get this error: Run-time error '2501' The OpenForm action was cancelled. Here is the code that is called to cause this error: Private Sub cmdCPE_EntryForm_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdCPE_EntryForm_Click Dim stDocName run time error 2501 the runmacro action was canceled As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String stDocName = "CPE_EntryForm" DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName ', , , stLinkCriteria Exit_cmdCPE_EntryForm_Click: Exit Sub Err_cmdCPE_EntryForm_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_cmdCPE_EntryForm_Click End Sub Thx in advance for any assitance. database vba ms-access-2010 share|improve this question asked May 13 at 13:34 JasonR 1022315 It feels like something got screwed up when the form was copied. If I link the button to a new form it works and opens it fine. –JasonR May 13 at 13:37 Problem is I've done a lot of formatting on this form so to do it all again would kind of suck. If this can be resolved that would be awesome! –JasonR May 13 at 13:37 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote Runtime Error 2501 can occur on calling the OpenForm method if there is a problem with the database. Try following the steps in this link under the headings "Recovering from corruption" and "Symptom: Cannot open a form or report"? http://allenbrowne.com/ser-47.html Could also be a problem with the new form's Open or Load events, might be worth posting that code as well for review. share|improve this answer answered May 13 at 13:40 Dave 2,5311522 Awesome thanks I will look into that. –JasonR May 13 at 13:58 1 My bet is on Form_Open. –Andre May 13 at

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.

Suggestions: 1. First thing would be to examine the library references. Anything marked as MISSING on this machine? More info on references: http://allenbrowne.com/ser-38.html 2. If you have several users in this database at once, is it split so that everyone has a completely separate copy of the front end? More info on splitting: http://allenbrowne.c
